Is this quite a definitive no second date message?

[Lnaaa]

Went on a date with someone and chatted for about 4.5 hours, he paid for food and drinks and insinuated us seeing each other again. I wasn't sure if he fancied me but the conversation flowed really well and we chatted about some quite deep issues on both sides.

Messaged after to say Id had fun and get home safe and he replied saying "Was great fun, yeah. I'm on the bus now and there's no-one else on it!! Night Lnaa x!" I haven't responded and have had nothing all day today, normally he is quite a frequent messenger. Am I correct to assume that's a pretty final message?

Really? I thought we were in the midst of a pandemic...

Is this a flashback to March? Have you not been outside since?

I'm in Scotland & no I haven't been out much since March as per the guidelines. Certainly wouldn't be meeting random strangers atm

Guidelines in England allow you to meet anyone you like in a pub or restaurant as long as it isn’t more than 6 people or 2 households. OP is perfectly within their rights to go on dates.

You might not be, but op is

And quite within the guidelines

Keep up

You can meet up to three households inside now in Scotland. So I hardly think a date with one other person is a big deal lol.

I don't need to keep up thanks I don't live in England

And good news OP - I’m online dating myself and that’s actually a good reminder to me to not make negative assumptions immediately about no/low contact

In the nicest way possible, you sound like one of those girls who message their friends when they've had a bust up with their partner, all the friends say nasty stuff and you reply later on saying you're back together.

Ah I was following, delighted, enjoy op

I mean this kindly...are you sure you're ready to date? If someone messaged me in the morning I wouldn't get back to them until I was home due to not having the time at work to text etc. Plus if I'm working with any service users on the floor we can't have our phones as they all have cameras and we should be giving our full attention to the residents.

Can't we have one thread, just one where someone isn't blowing a gasket over people daring to do things within the guidelines?!

They can see their chance to be the big rule enforcer is disappearing but they haven't quite caught on yet. It's odd how they appear to have internet yet don't get the news.

You lot are so clever. Just amazes me how clever folks can't see what's staring them in the face

Hueandcry I don't really understand what you're trying to insinuate. I do however understand about the reality of the virus since I work in a care home. We locked down very early and touch wood have kept it out so far. However people are allowed to be around each other so I'm not sure why you've come on the thread just to put the OP down but not actually contribute anything of value to the thread.
