    Got a date tonight, first one in over a year-and-a-half of being single. Macedonian woman who lives in Munich, connected with her on OK Cupid on Saturday. She asked me out (and not vice-versa), within maybe half an hour of us chatting. She's attractive, seems interesting, so I happily agreed.

    And now that it's the day, all I want to do is stay home, chill, eat something awesome ... on my own. I'm dog-tired from everything that's happened this year ... pestilence, being unemployed since Jan, changes everywhere, not having had proper holidays in three years. It's all too much, and I just don't feel like I've got tonight in me.

    I'll go anyway, just because I don't want to be an arsehole, but still. Ugh.

    • Feel the same when having to meet somebody these days. It's like we're sick of humans. But do it, push it, you might meet your future wife lol

    • But don't marry, it's a trap ofc

    • Earlier I mentioned about a date I went on recently. We went for walks in the park which was generally uncomfortable. No touch or general ease with...Ianbolton
    • each other due to things which were way beyond our control. But in the same way I know I was probably tired and restless. Do what feels right man.Ianbolton
    • I think what surprises me is just how profoundly exhausted I feel; like I simply don't have energy for anything. But, hey, like graf said, I should go ...Continuity
    • ... anyway, and push through it. If nothing else, it's an evening with human interaction. Being holed up solitary isn't healthy long-term.Continuity
    • @Ianbolton Had a date recently, the idea was to walk her home after, we barely made it half way and I called for an Uber...

    • Well, that fills me with the utmost confidence tonight will go swimmingly ...

      Ugh, guys.

    • You'll find the energy to get out and yo'ull be glad you did.monospaced
    • This is what it's like with kids. You are perpetually exhausted — think YEARS — but the option to do nothing doesn't exist like it does if you don't have kids.monospaced
    • Il'l do my best!Continuity
    • I understand you 100%. 2020 blues.SimonFFM
    • @graf dating in 2020 is ridiculous. Everybody seems to have been lobotomised by COVID.Ianbolton
    • Yes go anyway and take it easy
      ********
    • Nothing to loose... Try to forget this pest for a moment, sure she wants the same. Qbn energy on the way!! Have a blast and make us proud ;)OBBTKN
    • @Ianbolton 100%

    • Are you back yet?dee-dubs
    • ^fuck you
      ********
    • Go for it!garbage
    • FFS. Turns out, I ended up being into her way more than she evidently was into me. Net result, staying home would still have been the better option. Fuck this.Continuity
    • Bit of a twist I wasn't expecting.Continuity
    • Imagine the same situation but you've been married a few years to this lady. And all you want is a night to yourself, chill, cook something good.shapesalad
    • Instead you got to play good husband and chit chat at dinner she cooks,, but you don't like...shapesalad
    • oh, sorry to hear that @cont! chin up man.renderedred
    • Don’t forget to brush your teeth.
      Good luck man!

    • Don't beat yourself up @Cont, you have to try. You never know what comes out of something like this.pseud
    • Cheers, lads. At least I got out of the house, and met a real human being, so there's that much gained.Continuity
    • How you feeling @Continuity?Ianbolton
    • Good question. Actually, I was a bit miffed that I ended up being more into her than her into me. It's pretty typical for me when that happens.Continuity
    • Which is especially ironic, when you consider I wasn't feeling like going.

      But yeah, dating in 2020 sucks.
