A solid connection: Virtual dating takes off during the pandemic

The lockdowns and restrictions on wining and dining have sent singles online in search of love connections.

The pandemic may have turned our lives upside down in a lot of ways but it hasn't stopped singles from looking for love. The only difference is that instead of parties, cafes, clubs and such, the search for love has gone exclusively online – and why not?

Dating online is not just safer during the pandemic, it's also cheaper (no need to worry about who picks up the tab) and a lot more convenient (no need to drive out and be stuck in traffic!).
