Anyone have experience starting a relationship & dating during covid? Less than great timing aside, this is my first serious adult relationship so any advice would be appreciated

I have! Matched and started dating two months ago. What would you like to know? If I could give any advice, it’s to communicate as much as possible. If you’re upset or feel annoyed by something, talk it out with your partner. This advice is important regardless of pandemic times.

I started a long distance relationship during the pandemic. He’s a nurse in NYC and I live in the STL area. It’s been 2 months now and is my first time dating as an adult after ending a long-term relationship (7-8 years 😓 started dating in HS). It’s going great so far. With the pandemic, flights are cheaper and not as many people are traveling. I’ve visited him twice so far. I’m in the same boat. But I feel like you’ve gotta take risks while being as safe as possible. Just have fun and enjoy yourself. 😉

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week. I texted her today to ask if she was still interested in doing something this week and she said she was super busy with a huge project and apologized. But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲

I'm from a very conservative culture. I'm reluctant to have sex unless my SO and I already perceive each other as life partner (no need to be engaged or married). Would it be very hard for me to date here in the U.S.?

My husband and I are elated, but the anxiety of being a mom of 3 kids and working in big law is preventing me from truly enjoying this news. It would be good to know what it’s really like having 3 kids so that I can evaluate how long I really have left in big law.
