If you've ever opened a dating app, you're probably all too familiar with certain bios. The ones that appear with slight variations over and over again: "looking for the Pam to my Jim," "ENFJ," "6'3" if it matters," "looking for love in the time of corona," "Ravenclaw," "Pisces. No fire signs," and whatever else.

But now that coronavirus has made movie theaters and concerts a far-off dream, lots of people are opting for outdoor dates—and TBH, that's fine. (As long as they're wearing masks, ofc. Seriously, it's important and it works.)
