Just wait for coronavirus to pass or try to setup phone call or skype with OLD matches I'd planned to meet?

Fortunately I've found 2 women that wanted to meet me and I'm in limbo here with this virus. The first one I had planned to meet the weekend before this all started and she cancelled since she wasn't feeling well (I was concerned she might have the virus) and wanted to reschedule a few days later, but by then I was concerned about going out. The way we left it was that when this was over I'd reach out and we'd meet up.

The other one I started chatting with just as the virus was making news and she actually messaged me first. What was odd was it was someone I'd messaged like 3 years ago on a different app and she ignored me. After several messages on the app I asked for her number and got it and I told her I'd normally ask her out at this point and she said she hopes this virus is over with soon so we can meet up. She also asked me where I live and then told me she's like 25 minutes away.

At this point with both of them I feel like I'm all setup for a 1st date, but obviously don't know when we will get the all clear. I have a weakened immune system due to meds and definitely don't want to take a chance. So is there a period of time where I should reach out and just text and ask them typical 1st date questions or how they're doing?

I'm reluctant to do a phone call or skype since I can get very nervous with these things and the last women I talked to on the phone told me I sounded scared and blocked me after the phone call. With skype I feel a bit awkward too. I'm not the best texter in the world, but I feel safer with that with someone I haven't met than talked to her for the 1st time over phone or skype.

lol tricky too these women😄

try some texting anyway build up some rapport, perhaps a walk in the park or something for a first date, no real danger out in open spaces

Max don't say creepy stuff to her or anyone else.  Don't use the sultry and seductive voice just be NORMAL.

Huh? I've never said anything creepy to anyone. I just got really nervous talking to someone on the phone for the 1st time. It usually takes me a few minutes after I meet these women on dates to relax. Over the phone that's harder. We were kind of both talking at the same time and I just felt uncomfortable.

I didn't mean the way it came across...sorry.  Just don't be nervous and have some confidence you will do great.

No problem. Hopefully I'll do great

This whole situation of not being able to meet people is really strange. Especially with 2 promising matches that I'd really like to meet!
