How much can I do with him?
I am meeting my boyfriend of six months for the first time tomorrow! We met on Tinder back in the early days of quarantine. Our states were pretty hard hit so we decided to hold off on meeting. He went home for the summer. He’s coming back for university and since things don’t seem to be getting better we have planned on meeting tomorrow. A big concern stems from the fact that he just flew in yesterday from DC. The plane ride and what he could’ve gotten from it is what worries my family and I the most.
My family has taken social distancing super seriously. We have been limiting contact with others to as little as possible. I am 18 and still live with my parents so I have to keep them in mind as well. They are both older and have some health risks, and I really don’t want to risk them getting sick.
The plan is for my boyfriend and I to meet in the park and then stay 6 feet away with masks on. Romantic, I know. Does anyone think getting any closer would be safe or okay? I’ve been dying to hug him (among other things) for months and it’s going to be hard not to. My impulsive brain tells me that one little hug can’t hurt, but I really don’t want to risk my family getting sick. I really want to meet him, though. I just need someone else to knock some sense into me, so please be as harsh as possible. What is safe and what isn’t safe to do?
