Feel silly asking .

[Kop1983]

Hi 37 year old male asking for a honest opinion.
I have just started seeing a lovely woman I met online . 4 dates in a more planned . She seems keen to carry on meeting .
I’m naturally shy and with Covid around has made me even more awkward. Nothing has happened yet physically ( not even a hug ) .
I really don’t want her to think I’m not interested but not sure how to approach physical contact. Would be great to cuddle on the sofa or a goodbye hug. It doesn’t seem very romantic to ask but I just feel in the current climate it’s not right to just go for it ?

I think you would need to discuss this first due to covid you could just say I would love a hug how do you feel about that?

I agree, in the current climate, I think you need to ask her. @pessimistic’s suggestion is good.

Don't feel silly, that is so kind and thoughtful... I second @pessimistic's suggestion too.

I hope it turns well for you guys.

I would say to her exactly what you have told us. "I would love to have a cuddle, what are your thoughts on that?". Make it lighthearted.
Good luck.

People are dying and iit's illegal.

People's lives are more important than a hug/shag. Don't do it.

Talk. Use your words. Be yourself.

Wait what? Hugging is illegal in the UK?

Yes, hugging is against the rules. You can meet with other households (except in the areas that have extended lockdown like the north east) but you just remain socially distant.

How do people not know these are still the rules?

(But it's not actually illegal unless you try to hug six other people at the sane time).

Just say 'I'd love to give you a hug but with all this covid stuff, I'm not sure if that's ok?'

She'll either hug you or tell you she'd rather keep her distance for the moment.

But you are being thoughtful and considerate. That's lovely.

I agree with what @Pessismistic said. It doesn’t matter if you don’t hug due to the Covid rules. She may want to stick to those rules too. You just need to let her know you would like a hug. At least she will know then that you’re interested!
