Just start dating a man who is introduced by a common friend. He seems nice, and we chat a week and meet at a park. We walk with 6 feet distance for an hour. Then he asked me for hiking next week. I am wondering how I can prevent the infection of covid-19 during the dating? Really bord and sad recently, want to find a bf to move on.

There is no magic pill.  You don’t know him but hiking side by side violates 6 feeet rule and walking behind the other kills conversation.

For starters, you may want to find out how he and those close to him are managing the lock downs.  Are they careful or are they the kind who go about their business as if it's situation normal?   You can discuss this in a general conversation way as opposed to giving him the 3rd degree.

If he passes this test, then find out if you even enjoy his company face to face.   

Then worry about the next steps.

It will be hard to keep dating with the virus not gone yet

Some people might lie though in order to meet.

I literally spoke to a new person today. And already he was asking to meet. I mentioned its not safe etc etc..but he was trying his damn hardest to convince me its all good. 

He was like lets go for a drive. I was thinking no way. Be in a strangers car. In n enclosed space.

Well, at least you didn't have to ask him how he's managing social distancing

If you’re that worried, just don’t go on a date yet. I think standing 6 feet away from each other on a date kind of defeats its whole point. Just cam

There's nothing about dating and social distancing that JIVE IMO............I just wouldn't go if I was that conflicted about it
