To go on a date this weekend?

[RonSwanson1]

I’m currently single and have been for many many years. I’m on all the dating apps but I’ve never clicked with someone! Over the last year I’ve been on 3 dates. 2 socially distanced coffee/walks. 1 meal at a restaurant.

I’ve now been chatting to someone who I get on great with, Ive know them for years. They asked me to their place for dinner this Friday. Dinner may follow on to the bedroom. I follow all the lockdown rules! I’ve complied all this time.

AIBU to go on a date on Friday night and potentially sleep with this guy?

This isn’t about having sex on the first date... there is no issue with that in my eyes!

Go for it, your risk is low and you only live once. Have fun, use a condom!

@BeetyAxe thank you. And good reminder, I Will need to buy condoms that aren't expired... my supply probably is!

go for it and enjoy if you want to. You are both adults so form a bubble if you want to.

Go for it.

Hope it goes well. If it doesn't lead to anything that's fine, enjoy the shag!

@Paul72 yeh if we get on he can be in my bubble!

@NVision it’s been a while! Fingers crossed it’s enjoyable

And of course remember to tell someone where you’re going, conscious of safety etc. But mostly have fun, I’m super jealous

I wouldn't. If he's on a dating app how do you know he isn't doing this with someone different every week?
Have either of you had a vaccine?
A lot of people haven't seen their family indoors for a very long time. I don't think breaking the rules for a bit of sex is OK.

I understand others may not agree.

Go for it, have fun! You'll get some covid obsessed people on here giving you a hard time though 🙈

@starbrightstarlight8888 you know the vaccine isn't for preventing the spread don't you?

Actually experts feel it does reduce transmission and even if it didn't it would still stop them getting severely ill if they passed it to each other.

@Welllllllwellllllllwellllllll it does reduce transmission, but regardless of whether they’ve had it or not their risks are minuscule, people need to have a life worth living.

@starbrightstarlight8888 thanks for the link - there is still no hard evidence for that. As for not getting seriously ill or beyond is only a real issue if you are a clinically vulnerable person, I'm assuming OP's risks are low if they're happy to go and get laid.

@BeetyAxe I'd be interested to see confirmation of claims it actually does that. Otherwise I agree, a life worth living is a must.

@BeetyAxe thanks for another reminder - it’s been a while since I’ve done this so I’ve forgotten it all! I will text someone - who hopefully won’t judge - me the address!
