Photographer Jeremy Cohen wasn’t going to let COVID-19 clip the wings of cupid after seizing the opportunity of romance and gracing the headlines in the process.

The New Yorker was sitting on his balcony in Brooklyn one day when he spotted a woman named Tori dancing on her rooftop.

In one of the most millennial ways to give out your number, Cohen taped his digits to a drone and invited her out to dinner. 

After she said yes, the duo shared a microwavable meal and wine from afar.  

“You look beautiful!” Cohen screeched from his balcony, much to her delight. 

Of course, a third date was inevitable. But how does one take their relationship to the next level with a pandemic sweeping the globe, you cry?

Well, a few days later Cohen texted his date asking her to come outside where he was waiting for her inside a protective bubble ball (flowers and hand sanitiser in tow) for a walk through the city.

So, before despairing at the thought of spending the coming days/weeks/months in solitude, take some tips from Cohen’s notes and get yourself a “quarantine cutie”.
