I just forced myself to go on a date last week to get my toes wet, so to speak. IT felt nice to go to a patio and eat in public restaurant again! <3 If you want to meet right away or within a few chats, I agree dating will be horrible for you. But if you are okay with chatting with someone for awhile, establishing a bond with someone in a penpal kinda way, it is great. The pandemic made online dating easier for me personally, since guys HAD TO chat longer with me, not harder. Do not worry this too shall pass and you can get back to your previously scheduled dating life next year

I wasn't looking for a partner before the pandemic hit, and I don't think I'd be interested right now if there was no pandemic. My heart goes out to people who are suffering from severe loneliness right now, though. I know that must be incredibly difficult.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "dating".

Based on what I read here, many people assume that dating includes some kind of physical touching. For me, dating wouldn't be any different today than it was in the past. There isn't any expectation of physical contact, and there isn't any physical contact. But, maybe what I've been doing isn't really "dating".

I suggest you get in touch with the inner you..

Don't ask me. I've been living under the house for three years. Getting pretty comfy down here too...

Not necessarily

Due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic, we need to wear masks, social distance and wash our hands frequently.

The only hostility I feel is toward selfish idiots who refuse to wear a mask.

You're right that dating is impossible right now. I'm not going to have sex again until a COVID-19 vaccine is widely distributed.

Yeah, not a good time. It’s great to hang out here, talk to people, maybe do some zoom meetings. If something really catches fire, you could both do a strict two or three week quarantine, plus possible testing, before meeting, etc.

People are hostile about getting together?
