Love in the time of Corona.

K was my girlfriend in late HS and early college. I Facebook friended her. We were chatting yesterday and she flat out asked if I still loved her. I weaseled out of a firm comittment because I’m a weasel. It’s really nice to still be loved 45 years later.

Heard someone tell about how she is all over online dating sites these days. Apparently she enjoys all the attention and compliments. When asked if she would actually meet anyone, she was horrified by the idea, what with the viral plague and all.

I finally chose to not be a weasel and told her I had other plans. I chose to not list them for her or y’all. My life is too complex already.

There might be something to that. I’m on a couple dating sites and right now I’m chatting with more women at one time than I ever have before.

I dunno. I had a guy flirt with me while I was on my walk today. Or maybe it was more of a pass. Frick. I have enough going on in my life right now. I don’t think I can handle anything else, especially something at least 6 feet away.

You did the right thing, dropzone.

As a blobby non-photogenic middle-aged white guy, I can say that the virus and lockdown, etc, have put whatever shambling remnants of a love life I might have had on hold for, like, the rest of time…

You’d be amazed if you keep your eyes and options open.

I would not have the first clue as to how to re-enter the dating world

I’d start a thread where Dopers put themselves out there, into the market, except it’s almost breakfast and I’d just lose interest.

I have a date tonight

As a blobby non-photogenic middle-aged woman, I’m in the same position.

I’m curious. Are you actually meeting in person?
