Single New York millennials have started doing blind, speed dates over video calls as a way to maintain their dating lives amid the stay-at-home order put in place due to the coronavirus.
These blind quarantine dates are coordinated through a project called "NYC Virtual Dating: Catch Feelings, Not COVID."
Mandel and Shane began promoting the project via email and their social media accounts on March 19, and have coordinated 145 virtual dates with another 77 in the works. Each date takes place via a FaceTime or WhatsApp video call, and daters have just 15 minutes with their match before the date is over.
"It's pretty simple and a little bit archaic in the way that we're using technology," Mandel said. "We wanted to be able to do something with the human touch because people are good at feeling out people rather than computers figuring out what makes somebody compatible." So far, Scheiner has been on three dates, and each time she had decent conversations and thought the men were cute. Normally, when Scheiner dates, she gives men 24 hours to contact her again or she writes them off as not interested, but in this scenario, daters have to indicate to Mandel and Shane whether they would want second dates with their initial matches.
