My research question is: How has the CV pandemic impacted and changed Dating? This topic interests me because I feel like people nowadays have trouble finding a significant other. Compared to a decade or two ago, I see less of a commitment when people choose to get together. Now, dating is either hard or a waste of a person’s time. Unfortunately, this topic includes me as I find myself struggling in this dating world as well. I already know that during the pandemic, a lot of people required the help of online dating sites. Even today, not a lot of people choose to go back to regular dating since it’s expensive, harder to display a fake/exaggerated lifestyle, and time consuming. You can find someone as young as 16 on a dating site which makes me question their ethics and motives. Some points that I plan to explore and find out more about are online dating vs in person dating, the average person’s availability, and reasons to even date.

This is a great topic and I agree that the coronavirus pandemic has affected dating in a way.
Good background on the topic your doing. Meaningful information about how dating is hard now. Good comparisons to the past
I like this topic and how you really want to learn the online dating and in-person dating.
