If I was single I wouldn’t want to date right now. I’m not even sure I would want to do any meet/date for a while.

I try to stay away from people until my wife gets vaccinated as she is in a high risk group.

Yup, that was the point of my post.

The country will not return to normalcy until atleast 2022 2nd half to be optimistic.
Not really asking about the vaccine protections timeline. Right now I should be protected. Some of us have no choice but to get it now due to our line of work. In the future the vaccine will probably be incorporated into the flue vaccine, so it shouldn't be much of an issue down the line. I agree that the country/world will probably not be back to normal until 2022, but I was just asking about dating. Also I'm not really concerned about fighting for a spot to get the vaccine again, I'm in the highest priority group.

Already had it, and haven't experienced any post covid issues, but I am aware that can happen.

I am very pleased to be vaccinated and I will be glad when my husband, my parents, etc. are vaccinated, too. But while I wait for that to happen - I'm just super happy to be vaccinated.

I get that it's winter but pick a day when the sun is out, the wind is light then bundle up and meet him for a walk and some coffee. Also, most places with outdoor seating have heat lamps. If you're dressed properly it will be tolerable. Do not go to his house.

Unless you've had the second dose and are two to three weeks beyond that date, you're only partly protected.

Yea, I've done it, it wasn't enjoyable for me. Those heat lamps can only do so much.

Not experiencing it myself, but, well, all you can be is understanding to your friends, family, & dates because they want to be cautious & w/ these new mutant COVID strains that are ven more contagious, all the more reason to be cautious. Things are going to still be like this for a long, long time. I was going to attend the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics...a dream, bucketlist vacation goal of mine I had started planning for since fall 2018 & of course that got postponed, but even this summer, it's still just some months away & I don't see it happening. Even if it did, I sure don't feel safe going. I've gotten back most of my money. My point is, we ALL wish things were different, but we have to do what's safe & sensible. I guess if that means not seeing friends as much & talking on the phone more, then so be it.

My Mom & I are very close. We live about 15 min from each other. In these last 10 mos, we've seen each other only 2x's on her birthday & Christmas, but we remained outdoors chatting in the backyard (in which I don't have to walk through the house to get in the back), kept our masks on & remained at a distance. I haven't hugged my Mom in 10 mos, which feels odd, but we do it. We've always talked on the phone daily anyway w/o fail even way pre-COVID, so we do the best we can!

Museums are open in your area? Not mine, but it's understandable.

This past week, they were saying to double-up on mask-wearing & I've done it in the past a few times in the past anyway or worn a face shield too, but now I'll double-up even more so or always.

Just do the best you can...enjoy life, but be cautious still.

I’ve been trying online chatting to. I feel like it’s a waste of time, since outside of tinder hook ups a lot women aren’t willing to come to my place or go to there’s for a first date. Guess I’m not handsome enough. What a shame how little trust we have in each other as human beings that we can’t enjoy a meal in each other’s company.

Even outside of a pandemic, most women aren't going to come to your house on a first date for safety reasons. You're a stranger.

Yup, has nothing to do with how handsome you are.
