As more and more Americans get the COVID-19 vaccine, getting a new shot at love doesn't seem too far out of reach. When getting back into the dating scene this summer, make sure you're taking the proper precautions.
Dr. Caleb Alder, a licensed psychiatrist at UC Health and a professor at the University of Cincinnati, shares some of his tips for dating safely and responsibly.
When getting back out in the dating scene, be it can be helpful to know what you want.
"It can be helpful to set priorities for what one ultimately wants from dating – a long-term relationship, a short-term relationship, a hookup. I’m not weighing in as to what someone should be seeking, just suggesting that setting one’s goals explicitly can be helpful. For one thing, how one goes about looking for a relationship and for what one looks is likely to vary depending on one’s dating goals." Adler said.
