What is dating during corona like? Is there any etiquette I need to be aware of? I stopped dating when the pandemic started, and just recently rejoined a dating app and have a first date this week. I know we both go outside and socialize with friends and neighbors (I’ve been careful and selective, not sure about him) so do I assume it will be like always?

Well done! This is PC (post Covid) dating

Talk to him on the phone and let him tell on himself. I thought a guy was cool until he admitted to being potentially exposed and knowingly hanging out with friends before getting tested 🤮. At this point, I’m close to to waiting it out and trying to meet someone organically in person post-pandemic.

There are 5 bases now. The new first base is removing your face mask which is then succeeded by the original 4.

Honestly you need to date very selectively. As in just one person at a time. Take time to really build trust with that person. If you both take the precautions as much as possible, hopefully you’ll be fine!

Personally I would talk to him.

Let's take this to the next level.

Send him like 5 Nest camera and record him 24/7 for about 21 days just to be safe.

Maybe an Nest Temp probe. Get real time body temp streamed your Iphone.

I feel I know you so well these past 21 days.

Monitoring your daily patterns, watching how you sleep.

I have a sense of the temperature between us.

I really can trust you. ❤️

Hi. How are you doing?😏☺️

Why not have him do a swab test before the date?


I would expose him with intense UV radiation before any kissing.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Is it crazy to leave my job at EY to take a lower paying position in industry? I'm a recently promoted tax manager making about 140k.

Honestly, the $20k difference isn't that much, but I've also been considering taking job that pay maybe $90k and doing work on the side (my own "firm"). But it also feels strange to accept such a lower salary. Thoughts?
