Being alone for the last year  has made people re-prioritize.

We’re re-thinking things like: 

• “What is essential for happiness?” 
• “What is essential as far as connecting well with a partner?”

“Conversation is the new sex,” explains Michelle. 

When dating, some topics are easier to cover over Zoom. We can relax and ask the deep questions that we might not ask in person. Sometimes we misjudge people on phone calls --- we can't read facial expressions, we don’t always pick up on tone, etc. 

Michelle gives several tips on dating over video calls including how to angle your camera so it’s most flattering, and several activities to try with your new partner.
