Dating During The Pandemic Holidays

Dating coaches say business is booming, but the field can still be a little awkward to play, especially during the holidays and a surging virus.

There are a lot of things people stress about during holidays — who is hosting dinner, what to wear, what to cook, what gifts to give — the list goes on. Now try adding dating to the mix, and then add the extra layer of dating during a pandemic.

For years, Kiberly Simonetti has worked to unite strangers hoping to find love in the Washington, D.C., area as a dating coach with The MatchPro, and she says the pandemic has definitely had an impact on that search. 

"People are starting to get really serious and really wanting to find people, and they were tired of these games online and worrying about safety." Simonetti said.
