Weird Covid situationship- wwyd?

[CaliforniaPeaches]

I'm 31, nearly 32, and if I'm being honest, I'm totally fed up of being single and I'd love to settle down.

I had matched with a man in September/October (I think? when was lockdown 2?). We've been on around 10 walks but they're so not like any dates I've ever been on. He's also quite strictly following covid guidelines, which I suppose you can't really complain about

Would you have the awkward conversation asap or wait until after a few proper dates?

Speak to him now, this does sound an odd situation. if he is someone right for you, you would be able to talk him openly

I would ask him what he's looking for - you don't want to be wasting your time with someone who isn't on the same page as you.

Sounds like it might have just evolved into a friendship? I agree you need to talk to him to see where he thinks this is going. I know the Covid situation makes things difficult but I guess at some point you’d have to move things along, form a bubble or something. Don’t waste any more time if this isn’t going anywhere. It’s good that he’s taking Covid rules seriously but I would have thought anyone dating during this time would be aware that at some point walks in the park just aren’t going to be enough!

If a man had been on ten walks with me and he didn't feel the need to rip my clothes off or even talk to me about ripping my clothes off this would be a no go.

He said he’s really enjoying getting to know me. What does this mean?!

Friendship?
I would have a really frank conversation about whether there is a mutual attraction and his expectations of moving forward and at what pace. June is a long way away and you might end up disappointed.
Do you fancy him?
Has he maintained social distancing on your walks?

I think ‘getting to know’ you sounds like he’s stalling for time. After 10 meetings he should feel like he knows you surely? And knows whether he wants to pursue a relationship or not. You need to actually ask him if he wants to be in a relationship with you, now, and if not I think you need to move on.

I like him. There isn’t a huge sexual spark but that has always developed for me, and I also feel like we’ve never been on a proper date, got dressed up, had drinks etc.

I feel like I can’t think straight at the moment either- one best friend just had a baby and another announced her pregnancy. I certainly don’t want to settle and I don’t have time to waste, but we get on well, he’s very kind, he works hard and he’s from the same cultural/ religious background as me.
