Some weary daters, though, have become OK with staying in with their dog or cat. When pets show affection and you pet them, Fisher said, it drives up “your oxytocin levels and you’re feeling a sense of attachment.” Tom Blake, a relationship advice columnist, said that “most of the people I know who are content with their pet companionships still secretly admit they’d like a human partner.” He encourages people to indulge that secret wish: “Go out and meet people. Hug your pet when you come home.” Tap the link in our bio to read more about how pet ownership helps fill the relationship void.
