To think this can’t work?

I know this isn’t really much of a problem compared to what other people are having to face at the moment.

I started talking to someone on a dating app about a week before lockdown was announced, great timing! We’ve talked everyday since then, have a lot in common and have talked about going on a date when lockdown has eased.

I thought things would just fizzle out since we haven’t actually met and have no idea when we can! But we’re still talking all the time so I started thinking about this seriously a few days ago.

AIBU to think it won’t work and should I end it? He lives with his dad who has a lung condition. I’m staying with family one of whom is working in a hospital, one in a shop and have a brother with a heart condition.

I have no where else I can stay or move to and nor does he. Social distancing rules are likely to stay in place for some time and I don’t really want to go into his house because I feel I’m more of a risk particularly with a family member working in a hospital. The man I’ve been talking to is also still working, although not frontline, so I wouldn’t really want him coming to my house and bringing increased risk with him. So we either just go on walks for months? Or agree it can’t work?

Going for socially distant walks for months sounds lovely! Like old fashioned courting. You’ll have nothing to lose if you do this and potentially a relationship to gain.
