Dating quotes to send to your partner during self-isolation

The year 2020 has been a wild ride, and we’re only three months in! 

If you’re like me and have had to buckle down at home during this COVID-19 pandemic, you’re probably not seeing much of anyone, including your significant other.

We’re all just looking for little things to pass the time and spark some joy in a time where things can look pretty bleak. I never thought I’d say this, but there’s only so much Netflix binge watching and Instagram scrolling one person can take!

But have no fear, if you feel like you’ve run out of things to do, check out this list of 20 things you can do if you’re bored! There’s sure to be something on that list that you’ve yet to try.

Of course spending time communicating with your significant other or the guy/gal that you were seeing before social distancing came into effect is time well spent as well! Whether you’ve taken up daily video chatting with them or are just staying up to date on the riveting events happening inside your homes via texting, I conjured up a list of funny, and sometimes cute, dating and relationship quotes you can send their way! If there’s one thing that I’m pretty confident in, it’s that spreading a little bit of love and humour can improve our moods drastically!

1. Who hurt you anonymous writer? Who?!

2. Internet habits as a red flag.

“Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow Internet service to see who they really are.”   - Will Ferrell

I can totally confirm that yelling at your computer while it takes its sweet time to load a page is not a cute look. Take notes.

3. Family dynamics, am I right? 

"Obviously, if I was serious about having a relationship with someone long-term, the last people I would introduce him to would be my family." - Chelsea Handler

6. Mindy Kaling folks, spreading words of (questionable) wisdom.

“I say if you love something, set it in a small cage and pester and smother it with love until it either loves you back or dies.” - Mindy Kaling

7. Or, consider this, get you a man that can do both? 

“It’s the 21st century. I don’t need an alpha male to protect me. I don’t need a big, strong man to fight off a tiger. I need a geek who can get my naked photos off the cloud.” - Whitney Cummings

8. Interesting take on love, Rob. 

“It’s probably not love if you don’t press your face to the toilet seat after they’ve used it to feel their warmth.” - Rob Delaney

9. We can chuckle at how cheesy this is now and cry about how sweet it is later.

11. This would explain a lot of questionable decisions that have been made between now and when we met.

14. Or, consider this, they could just work for us - I mean stay with us - forever.

“Relationships are hard. It’s like a full-time job, and we should treat it like one. If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you, they should give you two weeks’ notice. There should be severance pay, and before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp.” - Bob Ettinger

15. Amy coming at you with wisdom.

16. They don’t call it “crazy in love” for nothing!

“Romantic love is mental illness. But it’s a pleasurable one.” - Fran Lebowitz

20. Weirdos unite!
