‘But being single – I’ve had this conversation with lots of my single friends – conversations with new love interests in lockdown last from two days to a week… and then it falls flat.
‘It’s a mutual understanding, there’s nothing you can talk about. For me, I didn’t have any Zoom dates or that. I like to be in front of someone to have that chemistry, the lookout for love hasn’t been a priority.
‘I’m on this whole like ”I’m 30 tomorrow, I’ve got a house to run, I’ve got my hair to wash,” I’m not looking for love, and when I put that out to the universe, and said ”it would be great I’d love to be chatting to a few guys right”… zilch! Nada!’
