Summary
Maybe you began this year with visions of finally creating the love life you always dreamed about. You told yourself: “This is the year I’m going to meet my person.” But then 2020 happened, and it made dating even more complicated, more exhausting, and more futile than it seemed to be already. And now you sit here, at the end of another year, with this feeling in the pit of your stomach. A feeling of frustration, resentment, and even panic. “I’ve lost an entire year of progress in my love life because of this pandemic.”
In this episode, I’m going to give you a blueprint for what to do to still move your love life forward, even while this marathon we’re on continues. Time is too precious to waste. There are so many ways to still move forward. You just need the right plan... We in this community aren’t just survivors, we are adapters. So let’s do what we do best and make this situation work for us.
Love you, friend.

| 0:00.0 | Hello listeners and welcome back to the Love Life podcast. I am Stephen Hussie. And |
| 0:29.1 | what is going on? Well, we are in the closing act of 2020 is as I speak these words. It is |
| 0:40.0 | coming to late December. Christmas is around the corner. And in England, we've just gone |
| 0:47.1 | into a stage of increased caution on the coronavirus pandemic where shops and bars and restaurants |
| 0:54.4 | and basically everything is closing now, which has been an unexpected turn of events. You |
| 1:01.3 | wouldn't think anything could be unexpected in this year, but everyone thought things were |
| 1:06.0 | going to be open over the Christmas break, but they're not. So it looks like it's going to be a |
| 1:11.5 | very cozy, in-dawzy Christmas for our family. Unfortunately, some people won't be able to see |
| 1:18.6 | their families because of the new restrictions and various vulnerabilities people have. So |
| 1:26.0 | it looks like we're not out of the woods on this yet, even though hope is around the corner |
| 1:31.8 | with the vaccine being rolled out. But yeah, it looks like things, particularly in the southeast |
| 1:39.0 | of England, have gotten worse again. So here we are. And you know, I feel very grateful to be |
| 1:47.3 | lucky enough to be here in my home with my family. But the uncertainty continues for now. And |
| 1:56.2 | you know, I'm thinking about the questions I've been getting so much this year about, you know, |
| 2:01.4 | people who are still looking to date in this time to make something of it. And they're saying, |
| 2:09.5 | well, can I do that? What are my options in this period? What is my strategy? Do I just have to be |
| 2:17.0 | in stasis and hold still constantly and just keep waiting and waiting? And I don't believe that is |
| 2:24.2 | the case. Things are limited, of course, but there's actually ways I've seen people also being |
| 2:31.4 | proactive this year. I've seen people who have made moves socially, who have connected with |
| 2:37.0 | communities, who have been learning things, who have found ways to online to meet someone. Obviously, |
| 2:43.8 | they've been able to do socially distance dates as well. Some people haven't, but some people |
| 2:48.7 | have been out there still meeting, still going for walks in the park, doing socially distance things. |
