Coronavirus pandemic has forced people to go in seclusion and disrupted businesses globally but it has not been able to drag the spirit down of people looking for their soulmates, according to a survey.
About every nine of ten people polled globally said they are willing to venture out during the outbreak for a date. In India, about three-fourths of respondents said they would go out on a date despite the virus outbreak, the survey said.
An increasing number of millenials are turning to digital platforms like Tinder, OKCupid and Bumble to find friends and even life partners. While these platforms have been built on the foundation of matching people on various parameters, coronavirus outbreak is forcing a sort of social separation as people stay away from places like malls and cinema theatres.
How does one then turn digital chatting into real-life conversations?
