The COVID-19 pandemic has made major changes in our lives. It influenced the way we work, communicate, shop and rest. Being isolated people lack normal social things like face-to-face conversations, meeting new people and stuff like that. So, is it possible to build a healthy relationship in 2021 after all? Let’s sort it out.

New Relationship

If you want to start a new relationship in 2021 you need to consider a few things.

1) You don’t want to waste your time.

2) You want to have a partner that fits perfectly for you.

3) And you need to know what you really expect from your relationship.

When you ask yourself the 3 above mentioned questions you will have a better idea about your future girlfriend, relationship and how to manage your dating experience.

First try to determine your needs. For example, whether you are looking for a serious relationship or you just need a short romance.

Then think about the “type” of the person you want to build a relationship with. Will it be a party maker or homesitter? Comedian or super serious? When you determine your needs you will know where to look for this type of person.

Here is a nice article that explains step-by-step how to get a girlfriend in 2021.

Dating Stage

Obviously, your first dates are extremely important in terms of making an impression and building your new relationship. You can change everything except the first impression, right?

But we should agree that traditionally there is much more work for men, then for women. So, this paragraph is more for guys.

We live in a super fast and busy world. So, you should arrange convenient and fun dates. Be charming and romantic. Girls expect this from guys, even if they are self-sufficient business ladies.

Usually three dates are more than enough to form an impression of a person. So, don’t waste your time. Make sure to check this tutorial on how to charm a girl on a date.

Another important question that makes most people uncomfortable is who should pay for a date?

And here you will probably have hundreds of different opinions from different groups of people. Some of them will talk about gender equality, while others will tend to a traditional approach, when men pay for everything.

But this question is more complicated than it sounds. The answer will depend on the country you are in, family values, financial opportunities, etc. Make sure to check this awesome tutorial on when should a woman pay for a date.

When you are a couple

There are different opinions about when exactly you can call yourself a couple. But in most of the cases it’s when you stop seeing other people and introduce your partner to your friends or relatives.

Unfortunately at this stage all the pitfalls will appear and you should be ready for them.

For example, you have to be sure that your partner is completely over his/her previous relationships. Here is the nice tutorial for guys on how to get a girl to get over her ex and like you. Not only it teaches to determine the problem, but also it gives working tips to resolve it.

Also, you need to make sure you have common goals and expectations. Sometimes you both don’t want anything serious. In the 21st century it’s a normal thing when the person is looking for a relationship, but does not want any serious intentions in terms of building a family, kids, living together, etc. In fact NSA dating is quite popular nowadays. If you are not familiar with this term make sure to check the quick post: what does the NSA relationship mean?

Another interesting question is if you share common values with your partner. Whatever you say to each other on your first and second dates may change quite fast. Sometimes you say things that your partner wants to hear, instead of what you really think of.

Also, take into account where your partner grew up. For example when you date a Slavic girl, you must be aware that she will take your relationship seriously. Also, traditional family values are dominant in most of the Slavic countries. Men are responsible for financial security, while women are liable for home things.

Plenty of guys like this and it became rather popular to build healthy relationships with Slavic girls. Here is the nice descriptive article: Russian vs American girl. It explains the main differences between women in Western and Eastern countries.

By the way one needs to distinguish between Ukrainians and Russians. Check Ukrainian facial features. You may be surprised that they look differently than Russians.

Wrap Up

It is much more complicated to build a healthy relationship in 2021. We are all super busy and recently went through the isolation that significantly affected our lives. But it is crucial to stay socially active, communicate with other people and build new relationships.

Quite important is to determine your needs and find the right person for you. Also you should be careful on your first dates. It’s a perfect time to tell each other about yourself, but don’t be overwhelming while doing that. Listening is a skill that you need to develop.

And the last but not the least is learning your partner, respecting his/her values, accepting flaws and encouragement of strong points. Your relationship has to be healthy as well as your body. Good luck!
