 DALLAS AP - When Ileana Valdez, a Dallas-native and junior at Yale University, found out she wouldnt be going back to campus after spring break due to the COVID-19 outbreak, she and her friends created a dating site, OKZoomer. It began as a makeshift effort. My friend and I posted a Google form - we were like, Hey, you didnt get to shoot your shot before we got kicked off campus? Sign up and well match you. It kind of blew up, said Valdez, 20. In a matter of two hours, the form they posted on Facebook received around 4,000 signups, according to The Dallas Morning News. Since then, its grown into a website with over 18,000 subscribers. Throughout the country, 150 schools are represented, with some students from Australia in the mix too. The site matches subscribers based on personality; each person fills out a questionnaire and photos are not included. Every Saturday night they find out who their matches are. Then they go on Zoom dates. We call it Zooking up, Valdez said. They can only Zook up. They cant see each other in person. You have to have actual conversations. Even outside of college circles, Zoom dates are becoming the norm. Marivel Garcia, 23, a real estate agent who moved to Dallas last September, had her first virtual date in late April. She said it went well and was somewhat interactive. I was making drinks at my apartment; he was showing me how he was making his drinks, Garcia said. She said she felt less pressure than she does on in-person dates - it was comfortable. I didnt have to think about, What if I dont like this person and I have to leave, but I have to wait because Im being respectful, she said. An easy out? Oh my gosh, my Wi-Fi went off, Garcia said...
