Happn, a leading dating app in the United Kingdom, has found that the Covid-19 lockdown has not stopped Brits from trying to find love.
The research reveals that up to 55per cent of people using online dating sites are now open to making a stronger connection and are even willing to open up in more detail. And in the absence of bars and restaurants, singletons have now resorted to Facetime to find and establish a connection at the comforts of their own home.
Emma Kenny, a relationship expert, said: "The increase in people using dating apps during Covid-19 shows we remain committed as ever to finding that special someone."
"Research shows that the search for love transcends any lockdown and whilst you may not be able to date physically, you can still get creative whilst dating digitally."
