When we lose spaces like bars, we lose elements of chance and romantic kismet. These places help us find others, but also fall in love with the people we are always in the process of becoming.

Society is suffering a loss of spontaneity and serendipity. Most rom-coms couldn’t translate to the COVID era.
Places like bars bring us into contact with strangers, but they can also awaken our own realization that we are strangers to someone else. https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/sightlines/2021/2/12/covid-impact-on-bars-dating-stories

In this story from @kbernot, hear from Abby and Scott, who met 16 years ago at @OBriensPubSD. He threw a coaster. It hit her by accident.
The start of their relationship was “a soggy coaster and a few choice cuss words.”

Greg and Stephanie met 10 years ago at a Michigan bar.
He was working the door.
She winked at him from across the room.
They met at the jukebox.
He put Bob Seger on.
They’ve been together since.
The magic of bars is so important they opened their own. https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/sightlines/2021/2/12/covid-impact-on-bars-dating-stories

COVID has paused our late-night, neon-lit, drinks-fueled efforts toward connecting with someone else. And as @kbernot writes, that also means we're missing out on a crucial way we relate to our own selves.
