max3732 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 For some reason I went from a dry spell to chatting with multiple women now. The only thing is I'm at a high risk due to a medical condition (not age) and am very concerned about getting the virus. So if I don't want to go out to a restaurant or do anything that could potentially get me sick. So what activities can I still do? Would it be weird to tell someone I'd like to meet her but wait until this whole thing is over? As much as I'd like to get a 1st kiss I don't think that kissing someone I don't know is the smartest thing right now Link to post Share on other sites
Blind-Sided Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Guess it depends on your region. I'm not in an active zone... so I'm going out tonight. BUT... there are precautions in place... and it looks like they are closing schools next week. Also... if you are in good health otherwise... then you should be fine. The thing is... we are showing a lower mortality rate than the normal flu that went around this year. Edited March 13, 2020 by Blind-Sided Link to post Share on other sites

Well I'm in good health otherwise, but I'm taking a medication that lowers my immune system so I'm worried about catching it. Where I live isn't in Italy or China, but there have been cases in my area. Link to post Share on other sites
Erik30 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 A lot of people are staying at home and several restaurants, museums, bars, etc. are closed, so I don't think it's weird if you want to avoid certain places... it's actually smart. I think most people would understand if you want to wait. But you could always just go for a walk Link to post Share on other sites
Noproblem Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I am in NYC We can still walk outside! Walking is a good way to get to know each other! Link to post Share on other sites
Gr8fuln2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Just use some common sense. Don't go hanging out at some club with 200 people sardined in. If you don't feel well, stay home for all our sakes. Open spaces is and should be fine. Like others, a walk is good. Link to post Share on other sites
mortensorchid Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I think it's working against you at this moment because so many public places are closed and people are purposefully staying in because of this. Keep all the women you are chatting with in the loop and there shouldn't be a problem. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
contel3 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I am in an affected area. I think it's stupid to date right now if you have preexisting conditions. From the moment you have the first infections its a matter of a few weeks until the numbers are in the thousands. It's like everything is super calm and chill, and then in a matter of a few days everything shuts down. So even if you do meet women right now, it's not like it would be smart to continue meeting up with them. I have family members who have preexisting conditions and I have completely stopped dating because I don't want to put them at risk. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

People where I am are getting so bored they really don't mind chatting for hours on end, for weeks. Keep your texting game fresh and you'll be good to go once things have calmed down 😃 Link to post Share on other sites
Fletch Lives Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I don't think you have to kiss to get it, it can be transmitted within a few feet. I'm thinking if I were dating, I'd be a catfish right now. I'd say to the woman, "I'd like to meet you, but let's see what happens with this virus." Then I would try to text and have phone dates with her, temporarily. Better to be single than sick or dead. Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully these women will understand without me having to explain I have a prexisting condition. I had plans to meet someone last week and she cancelled on me because she said she wasn't feeling well and wanted to reschedule. So I had planned to meet her for something active this weekend, but got injurred and she suggested meeting for coffee instead. I just don't feel comfortable with that now. There are a few others I'm chatting with. Normally I like doing a few texts to make sure she's real and not crazy and then plant to meet. So now I'm just going to have to drag things on with text longer than I'd like. Link to post Share on other sites
