CalvinM Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 We've been on four dates, the 5th one was supposed to be Saturday, but she asked if we could postpone until Monday night. She also suffers from vertigo (wears a medic alert bracelet), which I'm guessing only exacerbates her current condition. I know it's probably too early for me to be over during an episode/attack (not sure what the right word is). Anyone on here suffer from it willing to give tips on how to be supportive?
Omei Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Just send a get well text. You dont have to do much more than that 4 dates in. 3

Fever means infection. Vertigo is horrible. I've had it and the first time it happened to me, I had no idea what was going on--just that I couldn't control my eye movement. It was very upsetting to me. Send her a "feel better" message and tell her that if she needs anything, to let you know. 2
Els Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I'm confused, Calvin. Weren't you asking about 'encouraging your new gf to wear glasses' a week ago? But now she is your 'date'? If the two of you are bf and gf already (as opposed to just casually dating), I don't actually think it's inappropriate for you to drop by with something nice - her favourite food or something. Vertigo isn't infectious, so there should be no issues with you heading over. Just be sure to only stay for a few minutes to drop off your care package and give her time to rest, unless she explicitly asks you to stay longer. 2
kendahke Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Vertigo isn't infectious, so there should be no issues with you heading over. The vertigo may be manifesting because of a sinus infection or ear infection, which would explain her fever. 1
d0nnivain Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 If she has vertigo physical support is actually what's needed. Take her arm when you walk. Always walk upstairs behind her & downstairs in front of her. Height / elevation changes aggravate the condition & make suffers more dizzy so knowing she can land on you if she falls is reassuring. 2

Date number 4, and we are exclusive. But I'm not confident we're at a point where I can drop by unannounced. She went for a run (her stats post to facebook), but I'm waiting to hear back from her, since she had suggested tonight for a rain check for Saturday.
Author CalvinM Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 The vertigo may be manifesting because of a sinus infection or ear infection, which would explain her fever. This was my thought too. I sent her a single text before work yesterday night letting her know I was thinking of her and hoping she was feeling better. I'd like to be supportive, but not clingy. She responded a bit later with a .

Didn't mean to confuse you. We are exclusive, but it's very early ( Saturday's date would've been number five). When I asked how she was feeling on Sunday morning she said "I would love to see you today, but it is probably in both of our better interest to wait until Monday-would that work for you?" I'm off today (Monday), so I said "Sure, I'm free." I'm guessing since I already checked in yesterday night, that the ball is in her court to confirm?
