I read a cute one today ... The couple were planning to drive to a McDs, and park their cars so the drivers windows were side by side and chat with their windows down an inch and eat fries together. Thought that was kinda sweet!

Zoom or Teams...

In my honest opinion, I would do a rain check if you were thinking of in person. His or her health, yours, each family’s and friend’s are more important than one date. If y’all are both willing to do a FaceTime date, then it may be fun to cook at home separately and have dinner.

like

Zoom or FaceTime. You could both order food from the same place and have it delivered and eat it together over video chat. You could also send flowers to be delivered on that day. Going to the park is also an option. Maybe cook food and do a picnic type of thing but you'd still have to get relatively close contact for that. Otherwise just take a raincheck.

My old roommate in a long distance relationship used to order the same takeout as their SO (both got Italian, or Chinese or whatever) and then they’d Skype and have “dinner” together

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
