Hello
First off I live in a tier 1 covid area
I've met this guy online been talking for a month or so. Two weeks after we started talking we arranged a date but I was query covid so cancelled. We arrange another date but he was query covid so we cancelled again. Now both better he asked when I was free as he could do any day. I said Sunday and he replied he was busy then and could we do the week after?
I dont want a penpal. should I forget it?

If you want to meet up with him, agree the date that suits you both, if not, don't.

Doesn't sound like you've given it a particularly fair shot. Rather unfortunately you've both not been well for the first couple of times you've arranged. Fair enough.

The third time, it's a bit of a pain that he said he was free whenever then isn't for the time you actually were. Things do come up, and no-one is obliged to keep their whole week free while the other decides.

Try and at least get one meeting down. Obviously if he cancels/rearranges it for something else maybe that 'might' show where his priorities lie

What is ‘query Covid’ ?

You are thinking of binning him because he can't do Sunday? Is a week really too long for you to wait?

If this is typical of how you feel if someone has a prior engagement, then yes. Bin him. For his sake.

BTW what does 'query covid' mean? I've never heard that before.

He had plans and suggested Sunday next week he didn't fob you off.
Did you agree and set a time or place?
Its all compromising and making it work
If he seems worth it relax
I think to many have to many set ideas when we all have a life and he ma he dating others

Query covid means I had possible covid infection

Never heard that before. Is it medical terminology? Or regional?

Medical terminology
