Due to Covid19 I gained a dog, anyone else have something unexpected happen due to covid19 that's positive?

Ended up realising the man I've been seeing for just over a year and I have got the serious feels for each other. Us having to be apart for this (We live separate cos reasons and his work means he's had a lot on lately) but we've been in touch every day, spoken several times a week and we're both smitten


Also bought awesome new bedsheets. Like really decent ones and my whole life has been changed by that. Sounds melodramatic but it's true. I sleep so good now


Also learned to knit and bake bread. Loving doing both, the knitting keeps my hands busy, I feel less inclined to stab everyone with the needles if I've got something I'm working hanging off them

My Dad has leukemia. Thankfully, it's a very rare treatable type and he's doing well. That said, I got to spend a lot of time with him indoors and during our 2am night-walks. I love my dad and I realize how precious every lingering moment with family is. So in a way, this situation helped us grow closer.

Honestly, if the feeling is mutual, I think you're good to go. Just don't rush anything and make one another feel uncomfortable and I think the rest will happen naturally. If there's chemistry, it'll happen someway.

Truly start enjoying one another's company like real friends before getting more serious. If you do stuff like get physical your first meeting this weekend, that might set things off on the wrong foot, intimidate him, etc.
Really get to know him first, and allow him to for you as well, and then decide if the feels are still there before proceeding, I say.

That’s the intent. I don’t want this to go too fast. But I also don’t want to stall out ya know?

Man, I have so many feels I’m drowning in them. The last comparable time I felt like this was years ago.

I'm confident it won't stall. In my experience, stalling only happens when you're too late to tell someone you really like your true feelings; it makes it awkward or might jeopardize said friendship. It's that dirty F-word the "Friendzone."
You both already know where you're at, it'll be fine. Just get to know him and spend some time together and go from there.

Lost my job at chick FIL a last February. Not die to corona but rather because the new management are total dicKtators who didn't like me wearing headphones while washing dishes.


Now the job I got afterwards I did lose covid. It was a bar that had to close Completely because of the outbreak.

Update: met him in person and it went awesome. Exclusive now, but want to take it slow to ease into being official and fully explore this. Will see him next week end hopefully. Wish a kiwi luck!

Nice!

Just remember to keep it moving slow, if some feelings or something happen. Becoming the best of friends first will make for the best kind of relationship. No need to rush it.

We just want to be each others intimate companions, no pressure. I want him to be happy and comfortable. I am going to ask about how much space he needs as he does need downtime and I don't want to be overbearing. I've had past boyfriends run the whole gamut as to how much space they need so it's fair to ask where he lands on this spectrum. Sweet talk but don't intimidate him.

Cool, it seems like you guys really have that sort of intimate personal chemistry. If more happens, great, but at worst, you still have someone really close to you.

It's funny how much I can relate right now, because I have something similar going on myself, I think.

Its always full of feels, these kinds of things. An interesting boat to be in.

I also got hired in a research lab focusing on developing COVID therapeutics. I got laid off as covid halted my old job in March.

I am working longer but making less money since Wuhan virus.

This is bullshit.

Also speaking of dating, bitch at work who has a bf wants me to ask her out but I declined. Drama ended right there and then.

That's all. I hope to god she doesn't rape me.

I've been cooking more often! I love experimenting with foods and seeing what fun combos I can quite literally cook up. Through this I discovered that apricot preserves on grilled meats is actual heaven and I was also able to make couscous for the first time. I'm really proud of everything I've done!

Except that one roast. We don't talk about that one roast.
