contel3 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I am single right now, and while I don't think I will be in complete isolation for many more months to come, for me dating right now means risking infecting people I care about…. So dating and any kind of physical contact is probably off the table for the rest of the year. Maybe longer. While not being able to have sex doesn't affect me that much, I have been daydreaming about hugging, or just touching someone. I have been thinking about getting a pet when things start to open again. How do you guys deal with lack of physical contact?
Blind-Sided Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I feel for you on that. I guess I'm kind of lucky. I have my kids, and although the "Hugs" you talk about are very different... I can still give them a squeeze when I'm feeling alone. But then again... I have to play "School Teacher" all day now, and that keeps my mind on life.
the tank Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I agree I missed having hugging with someone, I tried OLD but ending in long text message conversation is not for me . I need physical contact while dating. Right now I tried to not think about it and work to improve myself.

Juha Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I am single love sex it's been far too long since I have seen my fwb and it will probably be far longer for me. Even though I am single I help care for my mom who is older and in the worst demographic for Covid 19 I do not want to get her sick so I am not sure how I am going to work moving forward, do things with friends, try to date, fwb, etc.. Have no idea on how I am going to handle this but the no sex is going to kill me LOL

Trying to better myself more. I’m busy working and homeschooling so I don’t have too much time to think about it. But it would be nice to have someone to share it with. Unfortunately OLD is a waste of time right now, so...
mortensorchid Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 I am not even attempting to try during this time. What's the point if you can't go anywhere? But I have let this time serve me well- I cleaned out a lot of drawers and tackled the sea of papers around me, going to start cleaning the closet soon, vacuumed, baked cookies, etc. I can work from home so I never see people (save for my parents who live a mile away). But truth be told I am at a point now where I like being alone and by myself, not having to deal with people is nice in general but you get that way when you get older.
