Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why singles are 'pre-screening' their dates
The coronavirus pandemic seems to have affected in many ways how we meet with others in business practices and private lives. Many business meetings are taken place by video conference, including job interviews. Even after the ease of travel or gathering restrictions, people aren’t simply getting back to the old normal. Two years seems to be long enough for many to review and evaluate what is more or less important than other activities and spending. For example, instead of meeting with a stranger in a bar or restaurant for a first date, more people are now taking pre-meeting screenings through video meetings or voice notes. Nowadays, matching apps and SNSs provide opportunities to find someone you may be interested in meeting. But as meeting in person becomes a more extraordinary opportunity for many after the pandemic, it might be quite natural to be more selective about who to meet with.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about a newly arising norm to meet with someone.
