For singles, the pandemic has added a complicating level to dating, as people are urged to limit contacts to slow the spread of the virus.

Closures of movie theatres, bars and indoor-dining establishments in parts of the country have also added logistical obstacles to the dating scene.

Steve Joordens, a psychology professor at the University of Toronto, says Valentine's Day tends to bring dating struggles to the forefront. And this year it can exacerbate the loneliness many are already feeling because of the pandemic. Joordens and Wilson both suggest people meet with friends virtually on Valentine's Day in places where lockdown restrictions prevent in-person interactions.

Joordens says it's important to acknowledge that happiness doesn't have to equate to a romantic relationship, and meaningful connections can be shared with others.
