Corona virus - dating

[enigma18]

Been seeing someone for a few weeks. If we’re not showing symptoms, ok to go to each other’s homes?

Depends on many factors I guess. If either of you want to socially distance due to loved ones, if you’ve been in contact with a such person. If the other person wants to? If you intend on just sitting in doors or not

Well considering we arent supposed to even socialise with friends, no.

I'd put the dating on hold a few months.

Yes, just stay in.

Yes, just intending to stay in.

This diagram should help. Crack on OP... as long as you stay 1.5m apart

The thing is, even if you both stay in it still potentially adds to the chain of the spread.

Because you dont know who he has and who he will come to contact with over the next few weeks and the same for yourself.

Chances are it would be fine and, there are ppl taking worse risks but the less contact with others the better.

Stupid picture won't attach!

Depends on your relationship - no way are we staying apart, I'm going there and staying. Also depends on family situation, we are both working but aren't considered vulnerable, was planning on moving in a few months anyway

I wouldn’t. How do you know the other person doesn’t have it?

No. It's time to do old fashioned courting by sending messages :)

Please don't. Video calls and sexting to keep in touch x

This is my situation:
MrS is a guy that I've been seeing he's lovely, kind caring(so far) I've known him 10 years through friends and got back in touch months ago and been dating 2 months, but with life and this CV now only met up 3 times, The other night we went for a drink only a few to a very quiet local place, taking precautions etc and there was only like 6 people in there. After a lot to drink he came back over to mine and ending up staying we didn't have sex though🙃 only kissed he's very keen and is taking all necessary precautions in his own life as I am mine.

My question is: before all this goes into lock down do you think it would be ok for him to come over ? As long as he isn't going anywhere else he has just been to work(driver) and home but will be off now and looked after his dd who is 2 for a day. We both have no symptoms and before lockdown happens and we can't even leave our homes full STOP. I really like this guy and he wants it to go somewhere but obviously I'm trying to follow guidelines and avoid risks. We both have mild asthma with no admissions etc but young n healthy otherwise any advice welcome x 🙏🏻 xxx

Nope. We're supposed to be avoiding unnecessary social contact, and this is unnecessary. They closed all the bars etc and those would've been full of people who felt 'healthy'- they could still spread it etc. Some people don't even get symptoms.

Boring, I know.

I don’t even know why this even needs to be a question. Why can’t people hold themselves accountable and be selfless in a time that it’s really absolutely needed. To the PP who has said she absolutely will be going to see her DP it’s people like you who are spreading this awful illness as all you care about is yourself. Drives me absolutely insane.

Me and my family have been in self isolation now for 5 days as my DH is quite poorly with corona symptoms, none of us, not my 5 year old or myself have left the house. If my 5 year old can do it without any issues or drama then I’m damn sure a grown adult can who should understand the gravity of the situation.

Are people still dating? Really. What are people not getting about this. I haven't been out socialising since 21 feb. I go out if I absolutely have to. Families are being torn apart. I haven't seen my elderly mum in nearly a week and wont be for a while. I've made decisions that severely impact my finances and lifestyle, ar the detriment of my mental health. I'm doing it to protect my children, my family and to mitigate my individual impact on society.
Am I really doing all this so that people can continue to date blokes they have known a matter of weeks.

I think it all depends on circumstance.
A lot of people, in their day to day life (eg large households with numerous people coming and going , no idea who they’re seeing etc) are far more likely to spread the virus than having one person over (who sees very few other people & works at home) once every week or 2.

It’s really tough but I think the advice is clear: everyone is supposed to practise social distancing. I’m not sure people are coming and going that freely any more - certainly not in London - most people I know are working from home - our office of nearly 1000 people has been closed.

You can make excuses all you like Op but personally I think it's about mitigating exposure and risk as much as possible. I'm making every sacrifice possible, I have no time for anyone who is my doing the same. It's that simple.

What part of social distancing, do you not get?

Why do some people think that the measures don’t apply to them.

Look at what’s happening in Italy.

My elderly neighbours have had at least 3 visitors today.
Fucking stupid.
