Veteran life coach says it is important to remember to give each other space as "everyone is trying to navigate through this new reality."

Veteran life coach on dating apps: When you use it, you have to be very sure as to your intention... Baka mamaya na-iinlove ka lang kasi may nagbibigay sa'yo ng attention ngayon, so you have to be very clear anong gusto mong makuha from these dating apps.
