I met someone online that wants to meet up. We've only chatted online for a week. I know the risks but it's been so long since I've been with anyone. I'm not sure I would enjoy sex if I was concerned about the virus. Any thoughts?
I feel your pain. I've got a similar opportunity coming up as well. Part of me wants to go for it. The logical side says it's risky. I'd suggest discussing it with the person. How have they been living through the pandemic. Do they take it seriously or think it's no big deal? Maybe you both could get a test too.
I would and do take the chance. Go for it without concerning yourself with catching a virus, STD, or anything else. Testing for anything is an after the fact proposition. You can get tested, wait a few days for the results, and become infected in the meantime. Ask what the odds are of becoming infected other than having an infectious time of a fantastic relationship with a beautiful woman who is interested in you. They are slim to none compared to having a great time getting to know or finding that someone special. I'm not saying to throw caution to the wind but if you keep hiding in a cave you will never find that gem that is out there.
