“I poured myself a glass of wine for my date, but then I thought… does that look weird? What if he isn’t drinking? If we were at a bar we could have had that conversation as we sat down or while we were ordering, so I didn’t know if it was inappropriate to come on camera with a glass of wine already in my hand. I kept it out of shot until I saw he had a beer,” she says.

Another idiosyncrasy of the video dating world is, how long do you stay on the call for? Think about it – if the night has run its course there’s usually an easy excuse to hand as to why you might need to go home. Whether it be a long commute, an early gym session in the morning or big meeting tomorrow, but now none of these apply.

“It can be a bit awkward to be like, ‘anyway…I’ve got to go and… oh do LITERALLY NOTHING in my flat,’” she says.

“Actually, I was chatting with one guy and it got to 9.30pm and I said, ‘okay well I’m going to get ready for bed now’ and he was like – ‘when do you go to bed?!’ I laughed it off and agreed but, you know, went offline anyway,” Jones recalls.

But these aren’t horror stories – in fact, Jones emphasises that she enjoyed all of her dates; most were over two hours long. They were all nice people and she’s arranged to chat to one of them again.

It’s just that, well, two hours of staring at a screen, completely focused on someone is a long time. Without the buzzing atmosphere and distractions that come with a bar or a walk, it can be quite intense to talk for longer than that which inevitably means that someone needs to make the move to log off.
