More & More Singles Experiencing FODA (Fear Of Dating Again)

After a year of either not dating, or virtual dating, lot of singles are dreading the thought of getting back out there....its good to know i'm not the only one.

According to recent reports, WE are experiencing what’s being called FODA – fear of dating again.

A Match survey found that 38% of singles are “nervous about their social skills when it comes to dating again in real life.” “The wheels are rusty,” Rachel DeAlto, chief dating expert for Match, tells the "New York Post." “Anytime that you don’t feel like you are in practice of something, there is anxiousness around it. I think there’s a lot of people expressing that concern of ‘I forget how to do this.'” 

So, what should WE do if WE have FODA? DeAlto suggests taking “baby steps,” like doing short activities for first dates, like a walk outdoors. "It’s going to feel very natural again,” DeAlto said. “Once you’re back out there, very quickly, any feeling of ‘This is how we connect, this is how we build relationships’ will come back.”
