Dating can be a daunting task in the best of times. Add in a highly contagious virus and all of the social, emotional, and health concerns that go along with it, and things get even harder.
On this episode of Talk of Iowa, Iowans share their stories of searching for, (and maybe even finding,) love during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kayla Fitzke, a relationship and well-being researcher and assistant professor in the Couple and Family Therapy program at the University of Iowa College of Education, joins Charity Nebbe to discuss how best to navigate conversations around health, consent, and commitment while dating in the new normal.
