Cynthia wrote in from Italy: “I went on one date with a guy, and he seemed very interested in me. Now, we’re on lockdown because of the pandemic, and we only communicate by phone once a week: he calls, and then the following week I call him.

[NEW VIDEO] How do you stay safe when you date during the pandemic? Ask these important questions BEFORE you meet up.

How do you date during the pandemic? That’s a question we’re still asking 9 months after COVID-19 became a global pandemic. Before that, many of us met our dates on an online dating site or app, and that first date was a crapshoot. Will it lead to a relationship? Or will it be a dead end? During the pandemic, the stakes are higher. You can risk contracting COVID-19 from someone you may never see again.

While it’s not always easy to know how a first date will turn out, we can lower the risk of getting the virus on a date. How? By asking questions in advance. In this video, I share some crucial questions to keep you safe.

Do you know how to fight fairly? Most of us grow up in homes where conflict was either avoided altogether, which is stonewalling, or there was defensiveness, criticism, or contempt. Arguments don’t have to be scary or avoided. They can actually bring us closer to our partner so we can share greater intimacy.

In this Instagram Live video, I spoke with Mary Jo Rapini about how to fight fairly.
