Covid changed dating scene to virtual meets 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’ve had a couple of Zoom dates. Not quite the same. Tough to get a feel for chemistry. I’ve heard of some people going for walks. Any other ideas?

I’ve had one patio drink date (not worth it in my opinion). Highly recommend walks in the park with coffee or with cocktail in a to go cup🥤bonus if theres a dog to take with.

Love it! So any single men in Chicago looking to take a cocktail walk this week?

Let’s do it! Just tried to start a chat but it noted you weren’t available. I’m new to this forum, so may be doing it wrong.

FML. I’ve been dating someone for 8 months and have been having doubts about the longevity of the relationship. This week he tells me he is thinking about leaving our city and working remotely. Even though I was already thinking about ending it, this hurts. I know I’m being childish - being rejected by someone who I was planning to reject! And I know he isn’t the right guy for me in the long term. So why does this hurt?! 😭😭😭

How do I politely decline that I’m not okay to make out in the first date or when the guy calls me over to his place after we meet/eat/drink? I want to take things slowly & know the person before getting physical. Not everyone might like this but that’s what I am & this whole thing appears off-putting.
