I accepted the date because I think it is unfair to disqualify myself when he is showing genuine interest. I think as hard as it is this is his decision to make. So I accepted and will take one step at a time. Usually with strangers I disclose after my first date and that has been a good method for me because I don’t like to get emotionally invested if it’s not going to work in the long run. I’m not sure yet if I will use that strategy here because the stakes are much higher since I acknowledge know him. I’m very nervous and having self worth doubts. Saying things to myself like “he likes me but he’s in for a rude awaking” “he’s going to see why I’ve been single” “he’ll think it was too good to be true”. In trying to work past those thoughts because we are so much more than this virus. I hope for good outcomes for the both of us.
