Dating in Lockdown

[Somethingmavelous]

I'm single, just finished a short-term FWB type relationship and I'd like to start swiping/messaging again, but is there any point?
Previous to my FWB I was single for a few years, looking after an elderly relative who has since moved into a care home, so I feel this is my time (mid-40s, no children).

I'm really lonely, I would love to meet someone, even just for some nice sex and comfort in these difficult times. It's so frustrating to finally get my life back and ready to date, I imagine we won't be out of lockdown until the summer.

However 'dating' obviously this goes against the spirit of lockdown, I WFH so even if I caught COVID I wouldn't be likely to pass it on.

Anyone got any advice? I feel so low at the moment. (I know everyone does - but I am literally alone!)

I'm a single mum, with my DC part of the time, alone the rest.
My family live 200 miles away, I moved here to be with my now EH.
I don't have a support bubble as any friends I have that I would have bubbled with all have either a parent who lives on their own, a single sibling or a closer friend.
I have worked from home since March, I can go days without seeing anyone so I can fully understand why you might want to date, find a FWB or someone to spend time with indoors.
