There's nothing quite like a global pandemic to make some people say, "Hey, maybe it would be nice to be in a relationship."

According to a new survey by Plenty of Fish, 40% of people say the pandemic has made them want to finally start taking dating more seriously.  That's right:  Apparently coronavirus is a cure for a fear of commitment.


The survey also found that 61% of single people think it's possible to start a romantic relationship during this time without getting together face-to-face.

And eight out of 10 say they won't date someone who isn't taking social distancing seriously.

One more result from the survey:  Almost one-third of single people have spoken with their ex since the pandemic started.
