Dating - Good/Bad Experiences

[premier3is]

Anyone actually been going out on dates recently? Some girl I met online wants to meet up this weekend and I'm hesitant... we been talking for a few weeks but I can tell she wants to meet now and I dont blame her.

I feel you on this. The girlfriend and I dated exclusively for a few months....closer to a year, before we decided to be "boyfriend/girlfriend." Hell I knew a guy who dated a girl for well over a year, then asked her to be his actual girlfriend and she ended it because she didn't want to be tied down.

Yours was exclusive, I doubt your friends was even though he may have been.
Admittedly I’m old so what do I know.
I assume nowadays it is not dating until agreed upon.

A lot of people don't want to be limited to one person anymore, and commitment is a thing of the past, sadly. Lots of people in "open relationships" where only one of them wants to be open. My guess is that particular girl had a side piece.

I have not. I live in a super "concerned" state and nobody at least from online apps wants to meet up.

Crazy thing is she had covid like 2-3 months ago.. She said she got an antibodies test done and has antibodies for covid now (not even sure how accurate having an antibody against covid is). Regardless, still feel a bit uneasy and not sure how to proceed.

I'm sure if I don't go meet now, it'll fade away and that's it lol.

You could always just meet up and do something distanced.

That has been my issue with where I live. People either think it's a hoax and want to hookup (not sure I'd trust those types), or they are super scared and don't even want to do something while distancing.

I think the right thing is somewhere in the middle, go on a hike or something and maintain distance (heck, you can do that at a brewery now) and then feel things out. If this chick is hooking up with a new guy every week on Tinder that might be a good way to get Covid haha.

She has a rooftop at her apartments she lives at, pretty fancy open rooftop with chairs and games I think. We could go up there, she suggested that too.

In the shop getting a few things done. The headers took 2 1/2 months to come in, and they didn't even start working till they arrived so it's been a long time.

Sounds like a good plan. Like I said it really depends. If she hooks up with a new person every week you might be the next infected guy lol.

Lol, I don't think she does and I don't think I'll be doing anything on the first date with her anyways. Fuck this covid shit.

What's up with this antibody shit though? Do some ppl develop that after getting covid so they can't really get it again?

Not getting it again is debatable, and so is the effectiveness of the test. So it really means nothing to me.

That's what I heard too, glad you feel the same lol. I'm leaning towards not meeting her so we'll see. She's flying out to the east coast to visit ppl the week after next and figured we can meet this weekend, but I'm getting more hesitant the more she seems to go out due to her "antibodies" and "I can't get it again!'

I believe that the thing now is that it isn't official until both parties update their relationship status on all of their social media accounts, but what does a married old geezer like me with no social media anything know about it?????

[wcr3d]

Right there with you, except the marriage part.
After 20+ years that ended.
So far out of the dating game I’m clueless.
See what I did there?
Only the old farts will get that.

Update: three days in, life is good

Wait, so I'm NOT old now???


Where are my pants???????

[wcr3d]

Oh you’re old alright!
And if you can’t find your pants I pity your family!
Look down, you might be wearing them, the mind plays tricks on us!

I looked down, I still didn't get it.

But you are right, I DID have them on! I guess that's good since HR moved into the building where my office is, and it's not that big of a building.
