Pandemic or Not?

Dating does feel harder to me now, in my mid thirties than it did in my twenties. Part of that is a lot to do with the pandemic. I'm not going out as much any more, just generally. The idea of having a group of single friends to go out with every week end, or which bar are we going to meet guys like i grew up watching insects in the city? That would not be the reality for me right now. Pandemic or not.
