For off, we are a year in to the pandemic - a YEAR! So, going on a date isn't the worst thing ever and it's been lonely AF this past year as single people. It's not any different to seeing a friend for a walk (minus the kiss haha).Okay gang I need some advice. So I got tinder (think I posted about this last weekend) anyway met two guys from there and have been texting, seem to get on really well with one. So I went on a date last night, we went for a distanced walk along the seafront, coffee then had dinner (takeaway fish and chips). We don’t know each other before at all but during the evening he grabbed me and kissed me. now I feel like we seemed “click” but I was really taken aback brazenness to kiss someone you don’t know, in a pandemic???? has anyone dealt with this before. I get he lives alone and isn’t seeing people (or so he says yanooo men lie) but I’m actually a bit he also has started to call me bub babe and baby in texts
(I know there’s a chance some may be angry I went on this date, if you’ve read my posts before please know it’s hard out here and I really do/ have done everything to obey the rules)
We’ve already said we want to see each other again and I have agreed to see him tomorrow but I don’t know I just feel some sort of way now this morning we kinda said we could end up bubbling too but I feel weird af this morning honestly. Also feels like we’ve done 0-50 in an evening.
On the 0-50 part, I get what you mean. I tend to freak out and panic when anything happens fast too. Try to think of it as if we weren't in a pandemic. Would you still feel like it's weird if 'bubbles' weren't a thing? If you were allowed to eat in a restaurant yesterday and have a glass of wine, would it of felt weird? I think the prospect of 'bubbles' and the whole 'social distancing/no touching' part makes it seem weirder in our minds.
If you two had a wicked date (as you did), and he kissed you when it wasn't breaking 'rules' then suggested a second date - would that feel weird?
I'm all for believing in our feelings and if made you feel weird, that would be different but if its just the whole pandemic and bubble part - then maybe just say yeah let's have a second date and see.
The bubs/babe/baby thing if you don't like it, just say I don't like pet names. I personally hate them and I say that when a guy uses them and it stops.
If that's a lot of rubbish rambles I'm sorry been out the dating game for a while and I'm so single I forget how to talk to men
