We are helping singles search for their soulmate during a pandemic. Yes, dating has never been easy, and this past year hasn't allowed a lot of folks. We got social distancing from how you are supposed to date with social distancing you're wearing masks and can't see the person you're even trying to go after there. Then you got closures of bars and restaurants meeting the new one new challenge pretty tough yeah rough out there all right.
So how can those looking for love this year navigate the challenges of millionaire dating in our new average? Well, we have relationship expert Rachel ditto here to help Rachel. Thank you for being with us so okay, so many people. When they make their new year's resolution, it's I'm going to find the love I'm going to see my soulmate. How do you do it in these times with all of those restrictions we're all living with? There are so many different situations now for daters than typically starting our new year, but it's a fantastic time to get online.
If you've never done it before, this is the busiest time every year. Still, especially now with covid and quarantine in certain situations. Everybody's online sounds so easy, doesn't it? Michelle, Michelle Cazares, is who I'm talking to here, our viewer who is single trying to get out there during this time, so Michelle, you heard what she just said, but you have a question for her.
So tell her what's going on with you and ask your question about never being married. I don't have any kids. I would love some tips on navigating this pandemic dating world situation, more specifically how to ask those hard questions, kind of like what the stands on masks are and when and if we should meet up in person. So that is something I hear from a lot of daters. There's so much uncertainty in how I approach these situations. I want to say that you're not alone and unapologetic in what you want in that dating situation.
Let people know off the bat. Please put it in your profile; many apps include it as an option. Am I going to show up on a date with a mask on? Am I willing to date in person? Do I want to keep it virtual, which has been something that we never really dealt with before but starting in 2020, virtual dating became a considerable component of dating online. Rachel never back has that dating profile been more critical because everything initially starts virtual, so do you have tips for Michelle and other people.
Now I am entering into this new way of rich men dating to improve those profiles I do. Even if you've been dating online for a while, it is time to refresh. I always say put three to five pictures up to make sure it's a view, so no more of those group shots where we're like, wait, which one is the one that I'm talking to? I can't figure that out, guys. Stop taking pictures in the bathroom. We don't want to see your shower curtain or toilet, uh, and make sure that you're smiling and showing a positive side of yourself. The other thing I have to say is the other thing with pictures.
If they are accurate, they're probably from two years ago. If they are recent, it becomes that lightning rod of conversation because everybody has different risk tolerances. There could be people like, why do I want to date someone who's traveling right now, so take them out of the profile. We want to see you and stay positive. 2020 was rough, so I get it uh but starting your profile by saying you know what 2020 was awful, I hope 2020 isn't as bad as it's probably.
As much as women do so, they end up taking a bathroom picture because it's the only mirror in their house. It's just, oh it's so bad it's either that or a tiger, no tigers no bathrooms I had no idea I just learned something um well I guess Michelle, you're good to go now I think the takeaway is to avoid the singles with the bathroom picks right now.
