Difference in opinion - do I go on this date?

[NowWhatUsernameShallIHave]

Background: I am 3 years single out of a mentally and abusive relationship. I am also clinically vulnerable.

In the past year I have been on a few dates but nothing I wanted to pursue.

I have met a man online and from the get go we have clicked and get on so well.
Except for the fact that he is a staunch anti Vaxxer and thinks COVID is fake. He said his uncle died from the vaccine.
From so many men I’ve matched with and spoken to he is otherwise really really respectful and understanding. He respects my POV.

Before I knew this I was so looking forward to meeting him but now I have to decide whether to go ahead.

I could not date someone who thought Covid was fake. To me that is ignorant.

I couldn't date anyone with those views. I'd wonder what other ignorant opinions they held. It would be an immediate turn off for me.

No.

Absolutely not.
Stupidity is not attractive.

I would question his intelligence but would enjoy the educational opportunity! (Science geek here). Is he anti-vaxx in general or just covid?

Nah. Bitch be cray cray.

@Scottishgirl85
Just COVID

I don't see how you can, he would readily put you at risk.

@bloodywhitecat
He said that it’s upto me

How can he be a staunch anti vaxxer but only with covid.

Fwiw, I’d go. Triple jabbed people can still pass on the virus. I suppose it depends on whether he thinks mask wearing and hand washing isn’t needed either. That’d definitely be gross!

No. The problem is believes something that is demonstrably untrue. He’s either deeply stupid, or mentally ill. No other option exists.

Don’t waste your time on something that can’t end well.

He’s either deeply stupid, or mentally ill. No other option exists.
Absolutely this. No I wouldn’t go.

Not for me, personally.

No

🤣🤣 No bloody way.

Sorry Op, to clarify no bloody way would I go on a date with him.

I could make allowances for someone who had made a personal decision not to gave the vaccine (although whether you should spend time with him as CV is another thing) but Covid is fake? I couldn't be with someone that stupid.

I think regardless of how respectful you both were of each other’s views, it would be unviable as a relationship. Sorry OP.

Run a mile

No way. I don't think I can connect with someone who lacks basic understanding of science and facts, on personal level. Acquaintance, fine but no more than that.

Hell no @NowWhatUsernameShallIHave.

Reality is what it is, and he is detached from it.

You can't respect that.

Couples can have different views on absolutely everything - but you both need to be living in the same reality.

Aside from the increased risk of him being unwell with Covid and transmitting it to you, the kicker for me would be his lack of critical thinking and common sense.

Not. A. Chance.

No way. You already know he is waste of time, don’t waste another minute on him.

NEXT!
