 Thanks Dads! This newsletter is dedicated to all the hardworking dads out there, this weekend we celebrate Father's Day - please scroll down to find more info :-)
With all our good work staying home, wearing masks and washing hands we are hopefully starting to beat our most recent COVID-19 challenge of Delta.
We do however need to keep this up for some more time, so relax, grab a coffee and spend some time socialising online with our friendly NZDating community.
We thank you for your support,
The NZDating team.

Did you know? It is said that the first Father's Day celebration was in Spokane, USA, in 1909, when the daughter of Civil War veteran William Smart proposed a day to honour fathers, based on her experience with her dad who single-handedly raised her and her 5 siblings. In 2021, Americans are expected to spend around $20 billion on gifts for Father's Day, and around $28 billion on Mother's Day.

 Love during LockdownDon't let lockdown stop you from living your best dating life!
Nothing quite beats the excitement of getting dressed up to meet offline for a first date, but there are many advantages to dating from home with NZDating... it really is a simple and exciting way to build up to when you may get to meet post-lockdown. Here's some tips for making the most of online-only lockdown friendships.
Be yourself
Communicating online is a great opportunity to connect quickly - but just exchanging facts can be boring, so try not to go into 'interviewer' mode by reeling off common small talk questions. You don't have to be limited by what's happening today - try talking about your plans for the future or what your hobbies are when not 'locked down'.
 Be Creative!
NZDating has tens of thousands of Kiwis logging on daily so you may need to be a little creative to stand out. If you find yourself scheduling 'virtual' dates with the same person often, there are many ways to keep things interesting. Try playing games via the new NZDating mail (Add a line story, Fill in the blanks, Question with a question, 20 Questions, Would you rather, Kiss Marry or Kill, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, etc.) How about a virtual dinner date by both ordering the same Uber Eats at the same time? Sharing ongoing games or swapping diaries of your days under quarantine can build your closeness as is making future plans for when the lockdown ends.
 Be clear about boundaries
Having talked about fun ways to connect online, we also need to be cautious of people who may try to push your personal boundaries or encourage you to do something you're not comfortable with, such as trying to make the conversation too intimate too soon, or trying to convince you to break lockdown to meet them. If your chat does start becoming a little racy, make sure you have enthusiastic consent from the other person before continuing! If you build trust and connect over a period of time, flirtation should become natural and not something inappropriate or pushed.
 Take action if it's time to call it
If at any time you feel uncomfortable or unsafe it is ALWAYS okay to end your communication with that person. If it's just a case of sparks not flying after you've given it a good crack, please let the other party down gently. And don't be scared to use block if they won't take no for an answer. Of course, on the other hand - if you are keen to chat with them again, make it clear you enjoyed the chat or send a nice follow-up message later on. Honest communication is KEY.
