I take covid seriously so I don't want to go to a bar, and even if I took it less seriously I wouldn't want to date the kind of person who spends their time at a bar fielding romantic inquiries during a pandemic. I've tried dating apps and have not had any good experiences to speak of. I unfortunately have to work but I assure you that during a shift of hard manual labor in sometimes over 100 degree conditions and extremely high humidity, the last thing I'm thinking about is whether that guy who is literally soaked head to toe in sweat, dirt, miscellaneous grease, and potentially hazardous chemicals is cute.
How does this even work? The last time I was around people I could just freely interact with and try my luck I was in my first year of high school, when I had a crush on a girl 3 years older than me which was a prospect so doomed to fail that even I knew better than to pursue it.
Seems like the question is essentially what social groups you could become involved in while still respecting Covid boundaries
Yeah, that's a good way to put it.
I have not figured that out yet, please share if you do. I'm a bit of a nomad and the only thing I've really come up with is that if I'm going to meet up with romantic friends that I'll need the mask off for, I'm going to be asking that we both take tests beforehand.
Any chance there are outdoor events near you the occur regularly? Farmers’ markets maybe?
