How being single gives you new insights

Some feel good being single, living deliberately without a partner. Another is not in a relationship but would like to reconnect. Either way, the corona restrictions may make you feel lonelier and it is anything but easy to meet new people. Being with friends is also complicated, so you may experience less connection and warmth.

It can make single life more difficult. Moreover, dating through a dating app is not a pleasant way for everyone to get to know people. And a perspective is missing: when will we be able to be close to people again? NPO3 conducted research in the spring on what singles miss during this period.

Well unfortunately we cannot solve the existing barriers in dating for you. However, we can advise you to use this time to reflect on what you need as a partner. When soon the time comes – and it will come – when you get attached to someone again.

What can a relationship add?

Consider the following questions. Who am I now? Who have I become? After any previous relationship. Do you recognize patterns formed from experiences in previous relationships? What does it do to you to be single?

Valuable questions, right before you start dating and starting a new relationship. Why do I need a partner? What is a relationship supposed to add for me? And what am I missing now?

When looking for a new partner, we sometimes see the pursuit of perfection, while it is also okay to doubt every now and then and not be sure for a while. Question and research, such as expectations toward your “future lover” and expectations toward yourself. Could you use a sounding board on this? Then be sure to get in touch.
