COVID is the single BIGGEST dating/relationship OPPORTUNITY

Post Reply New Topic

of your entire life to date! Seriously. These were my thoughts while hitting the treadmill last night.

you say. Well, allow me to explain my thought process:

Everyone is social distancing so much they’re going to be quite out of practice playing nice with others when the world reopens fully and it’s time to get back into the dating game. People are going to make more social and dating mistakes than EVER, and that’s going to be the norm for a little while - THAT is your moment, your time to shine, your time to capitalize on the situation.

Pretty much everyone, to some degree or another, is going to come out of lockdown/social isolation just a little bit socially r-worded, and pretty much everyone is going to be more tolerant of others’ goofy mistakes. A combination of being socially withdrawn, perhaps not getting enough exercise or Vitamin D.. slip ups and mistakes are going to happen a-PLENTY, even by NT’s, soooo that will be the time for you to go on worry free first dates and be like “Meh, whatever - everyone’s a little weird right now, my eccentricities might just fly under the radar..”

Also, almost the entire world is on the internet right now that would normally be offline being human on their right planet. Prime opportunity to chat people up, make new friends, prospective dates/hookups/whatever you seek.

Personally, my daydreams remain daydreams, but I’ve at least been getting to known a boy a fair bit better chatting here and there on messenger. I’ve had a small thing for him every now and then since I met him about 5 years ago, but I am 99.99% certain it is not mutual and never will be. Nonetheless I’m getting to know that he’s Also beautiful on the inside and am pretty sure we will be a bit better friends vs casual party acquaintances - and there’s value in that to me. His birthday And anniversary of an important life event are near my birthday, and he’s aware that I’ve bought him a gift to celebrate that. Even if simply as friends, I intend to take him for dinner/drinks around then, which hopefully coincides with vaccines already been completed.

But anyways, do your thing, chat people up, get prepared to meet them when this crap is all over as you’ll have the single best chance in your life to date to make a good impression despite your quirks as people are going to be most forgiving of them the moment covid-times are over.

Also, don’t waste the last several months of covid-times sitting around like a bump on a log, either. Exercise! Eat healthily. Get yourself into reasonable shape to look good, feel good, and set yourself up for the best chance of success!

..and if things don’t work out like a Hollyweird movie ending, so what? You’ll at least have tried, and will be healthier and happier for having done the preparation work on yourself and life will go on less miserably than if you just sat around and didn’t take your shot at all. IMO.

No for supporting trump. Because doing so is deplorable.

For me it was an opportunity to reconnect with someone who has a dense social life. Their social life has slowed down a lot and they're hungry for the communication, which is to my advantage, they've got the time for me now. I'm doing all the relationship building I can right now, so when the pandemic is over we'll just transition to meeting in person. Perhaps it would have never been possible had the pandemic not happened.

I don't know. My prediction is that if an aspie ends up with an NT, it will last for a bit but will end once the NT's meet other NT's. The only way to confuse the NT would be to say that Covid left you "scared", that your personality just can't get back to the way it was. You've been permanently changed. They will leave eventually. Better for an aspie to be with another aspie.

Interesting. I have an issue with the vitamin D theory, LEDs are actually pretty good income of D vit, without as high level carcinogenic effect as other types light bulbs, so oil up, sunglasses, it's never too late to catch some LED tan.

The most effective way to gain vitamin D is through diet or supplementation and not skin exposure, though.

Covid also has made me even more broke and fatter. And by the time I manage to get those matters back under control the effect will have worn off.

It's strange but COVID seems to be an excuse for people to go more into their shells

COVID is more likely to generate more dating/relationships for NTs.
For a person with Aspergers/Autism, you still have communication/social skills issues and in person meetings are unlikely to generate offline chemistry/spark. Only a cure for Autism/Aspergers will remove the communication/social skill issues.
NTs still have the upper hand with superior communication/social skills. Inability to communicate effectively is the main reason relationships between NT and Aspergers/Autism do not last.

I think there are definite perks for people to develop online relationships during Covid. The drawback is that couples can't see each other or develop their relationship in person. The steps of getting to know a person are limited when you can't spend much time together. Some couples can't see each other at all.

Hey, goldfish, Ive been thinking, if you like simplicity that much and not bothering with human bonding or talking everything through and setting up dates, why not speed up the whole process and buy a male sex robot?
That would provide easy ready access anytime right at your home.

Nudity alert:

Show Spoiler

he's pretty hot
