It doesn't bother me 
not if it is the first few messages with a new match
If I try to engage in a proper conversation and it's dry then I give up

I checked it last week and it was the first account that came up when I typed his name in then when I went to go and add him after the date today it was gone. We spoke briefly once we had both got home and then he went to bed. The arrangements for tomorrow where only mentioned before we went our separate ways earlier. He does have insta but it's got nothing on it.

I just need to write this down to process it I think. It is going to sound very self absorbed but I need to vent.
I am honestly feeling very anxious about Thursday and beyond in the context of my relationship. We are only officially 2 months in (although had been talking on the phone for months daily previously) so it’s very new to us. I think four weeks will be difficult enough, but if they just keep extending it then I know I will be a mess. I understand that because it is the beginning of the relationship that I am feeling everything very intensely anyway, but I really don’t want to be away from him during this time. I know that we can meet outside one on one and go for a walk, but it isn’t the same as cuddling together on the sofa, cooking together or doing something fun. I am so worried that this lockdown will create distance between us, just because of the way the World is right now. I know that I need to think positively because negative thinking makes negative things happen, but it’s so hard to do that.
We went out for dinner outside last night (as I am in a Tier 2 area and you are still able to do that up until Thursday). It was really lovely and he seems to be the one shining star that I have in this whole World of darkness. I am terrified of losing him. While we were at dinner, he took my hands, looked me dead in the eyes and told me that “I mean the world to him” and that he ”isn’t going anywhere“. I believe him when he says this but I just feel that circumstances out of our control might force us apart. During the last lockdown we were living in different counties and I was in an abusive relationship wanting to leave and he was feeling suicidal due to lack of social life and a breakup three months prior which knocked him for six. We were there for each other throughout, so I think we can do it again, but there is more to lose now. Am I being stupid?

I Second this, have you? Fingers crossed..
I've been single 4 years and pretty happy on my own. But after lockdown was announced again I thought I'm never going to meet anyone so signed up to Internet dating.
I've progressed from my normal 'delete my account as soon as someone sends me a message' and actually chatted to 2 blokes (I only liked 2 back as couldn't cope with multiple messages
)
After an hour of chatting the first one he asked when we could meet, far too quick so I ignored him. After a few days of messaging a few times a day the 2nd has said he doesn't like apps and can we talk over the phone.
Is this normal?! I was looking forward to having a few Internet 'penpals' for a few weeks giving me time to decide if I liked them
I don't know if my expectations are wrong or I've managed to stumble across 2 super keen guys
Any tips appreciated!

I can’t bubble with him as since the last lockdown we have both moved back in with our parents. Him because of his mental health and me due to moving back home after leaving the previously mentioned abusive relationship.
I am not naive enough to think that we are the only couple in this predicament! It doesn’t make it any easier though.
