If you're crying and thinking: "my 2020 dating life is toast," think again. Because according to experts, quarantine is actually the perfect time to find love. And it makes sense, right? I mean, Cameron and Lauren found it on "Love Is Blind," didn't they? So since we're essentially forced to date people from our very own pods right now, there's hope for us all!
In case you don't know where to begin, though, I'm here to help! Below is a 30-day challenge made for you to connect with potential lovers while in quarantine. Whether you're looking for "the one" or simply hoping for some virtual company, this is a fun challenge that will make social distancing a lot more fun and challenge you to step out of your comfort zone.
Note: don't be intimidated by the possibility of rejection, it happens and life goes on. Own it and have fun!
