I have a first meeting with a new woman scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and a date with a regular partner in two weeks.
For those of you who have dates coming up soon, how are you planning to handle close contact?
I’m Meg, a female member.
I assume you’re asking because you’re worried about the novel coronavirus.
Thankfully, I’m currently in Japan. But when SARS was spreading, I was living in Hong Kong and raising young children. The streets were full of people wearing masks, and I couldn’t even return home.
Some of those returning from Wuhan may have small children with them. My heart aches imagining what they must be going through. I sincerely hope this ends as soon as possible.
That was my serious answer.
Of course, no matter how worried we are, we can’t suddenly change our everyday lives. At most, we can wear a mask while traveling as a precaution.
Close contact?
If you want to avoid it, reschedule!
Deep kisses?
Bring it on, anywhere!
A date with an ongoing papa (male supporter)?
I wouldn’t hesitate—I’d go see him!

Its virulence is probably about the same as a regular seasonal flu. The media is just making a fuss because it’s sensational.
Just take the usual precautions against the flu.

“Close physical contact that needs to be dealt with”?
You’ll need to be a little more specific.
Do you mean, “I want to touch them during dinner, but how can I hold myself back?”
Or, “How can I deep-kiss them in an elevator without people around us giving us strange looks?”
Or something else?
I honestly have no idea what you mean >＜

Wasn’t it “close contact” with someone infected with the novel coronavirus?
Which is it??
We’re gradually learning that, compared with SARS, its fatality rate is only about one-fifth and closer to that of the flu, and that children apparently don’t develop symptoms. It seems less threatening than we initially thought.
Still, there’s no way to prevent it on dates.
Wasn’t it this one??
P.S. Am I the only one who feels like the person asking the questions is almost always Mr. A??

By “close physical contact,” do you mean something like going bare?
I think it’s safest for both of you to use condoms ^^;
Sorry if I misunderstood your question.
