Falling in love during COVID-19

35 Replies

After 6 years of failed dating, I am one month into a budding relationship and really happy in the middle of all this craziness.

I’m curious, what good is happening to you in spite of all this chaos?💛

It is interesting being home from work and with each other so much of the time. We are learning as we go. How are you?

It's just a silly sports thing, but like you said, any news other than the virus is helpful.

I’m glad he’s moving elsewhere. Gonna be good for him. He’s been with us for too long. It’d be fantastic to play against him next season

Hello nc007.

Congratulations. Good timing too! That is so nice for you and I am sure falling in love makes this period much less boring. I suppose years from now you may celebrate when you first met and you will remember Covid19. ha ha ! Just being silly.

Let’s see, Good things..... I got back from a lovely trip, I then got sick, I got over a bad head cold in a 4 days ( doubt it was the virus). I am in the old category. I did not panic, and I did not die. I also realize now that I was getting more depressed as usual because I was physically ill. I had forgotten my tendency to do that. I got to write in to lots of people on this site and might have helped some. I watch a good movie or two on Netflix with my husband. I still have a few rolls of t p left.

Sorry, I haven’t t done much. Not too exciting around here, but that is o k . We will get through this. I am truly happy for you.

Good post ! Thank you for asking.

in reply to Poodie

Sometimes less excitement is better. Finding joy in the day to day routine of it all is the hardest sometimes but good job for reaching out on here. It really helps me.

Truly happy for you. 💜

I wont ruin a good thread with my sorry sad story... 😃😃....but I will wish you an abundance of happiness, good health and success in all things you want out of life. Were all in this craziness together, stay safe. 🌻🌺

I too weirdly think I am experiencing the same thing. 😊 My neighbor let me come and stay with him for a few weeks due to a rocky divorce, and I was forced me to sell my house. We were always close (since he was going through something similar with his ex), but it seems like we're all the more closer now. 😊Not being able to go out to restaurants has made us stay in and cook more together. Hang out and watch T. V. Things that maybe normal relationships should be doing, but with everything shutdown, it definitely gives your life pause and helps you get back to things that make you close with a person.

in reply to NoNo19

That’s an awesome story. It’s amazing how good things can happen unexpectedly

I am happy for you.

That was quick. Didn't you just start dating websites a month ago?

Congratulations. You got taken off the market quick. 😁

in reply to Marshall64

I wish it was quick lol...actually I had online dated on and off for over 6 years. I finally figured out what I really wanted and I had done so much work to heal past trauma and manage my depression and anxiety. Now this new guy just seems to fit. I’m appreciative I had all that challenging dating experience. It helped me learn how to be open to be in a new relationship. I’m hopeful

Happy for you! Me meh it's only 3 months since my split so no dates just mates accept one icth I can't scratch.

Also I only missed the outside once I was told I could not go out even though I had not been out in over a year previously. Yer.
