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.

So I just recently got into dating after a break up 3 months ago. I joined some dating apps and have been getting quite a few matches. I’ve never dated anyone like to a point of going on traditional dates. Basically, I have no clue what to do on a date once i have one planned. Like I’ve been on a few and it’s been just talking but I guess I have no clue what to do after. I’m probably just rambling at this point but basically I need advice on actual dates and how to feel it out and what to do. Ty
