Last time we spoke about this subject, we talked about how to set up a date completely via app. And if studies are anything to go by, COVID has led to an increase in stable relationships. One key reason is that weâre less likely to meet new people, so weâre taking time to get to know fewer people better. Now that youâve got something going on, how will apps help you keep the fire blazing?
Say it with words
Whether pre- or post-COVID, communication is always crucial. Donât underestimate what a âgood morningâ, âhowâs your day going?â or a âgood nightâ message can do. Whether youâre doing it via WhatsApp, Messenger or video call, itâs entirely up to you. Just make sure youâre not taking anyone for grantedâŚotherwise, youâre in trouble. And dinnerâs probably on you.

Staying in? Good idea
Itâs almost always a good time for a stay-at-home date. Grab a Bolt, Cool or eCab for a hassle-free ride, unless youâre already living together, in which case you can simply skip to the next bit.

You can either set the mood with a saucy Spotify playlist, shoot a couple of couple TikToks until your Bolt or Wolt food delivery arrives, or get your Netflix & Chill vibe going.
The latter is actually a pretty good point. Choose your movie before the food arrives; otherwise, youâre going to look something like this.
