Come hear from Rusty St. Cyr, Keisha Gordon, Victoria Prieto, and Mercy Love about their protest experiences and integration with faith. Chapel credit is available on the iAttended app.

So, how does this whole dating thing work during COVID-19? It can help to establish personal boundaries and communicate them. If you’re only OK with phone or video, that’s OK. And if you’re tired of dating by text and video, that’s OK, too, but ask your potential date how they feel about meeting in person.

How do you both feel about masking, physical distancing, and having people over? If you do decide to meet in person:

• Before the date, ask how they’re feeling. If they have potential COVID-19 symptoms, postpone the date for at least 14 days.
• Limit exposure (for example, meet only one new person per week).
• Choose outdoor activities where you can easily keep six feet of physical distance between you and your date, like biking, fishing, hiking, Frisbee, walks or roller skating. If you want to be closer, consider a picnic or patio dining.
• As the weather gets cooler, consider dates in public indoor spaces where you can maintain distance (such as museums or shopping malls).
• Limit dates in your home in the same way you would limit other visitors to your home during COVID-19, and let your date know your expectations.
