1/ Probably the most common question I am asked by friends is whether or not it is "safe" to date during the pandemic.
While dating can be a high-risk activity, the cost of loneliness & missing social connection is also high.

2/ Some may see it as ridiculous to even think about dating as we are headed into a third surge in this country; & while I get that sentiment, risk mitigation is still the name of the game. Otherwise, people may just do it anyway but without tools for safety, which hurts us all.
3/ The basics here are the same.
Outdoors over indoors. Minimizing number of contacts in your social circle. Using regular testing to minimize the chance that you are unknowingly infected/infectious. Trust, of course, is key.
And, throwing digital options in the mix as well.

4/ Physical intimacy is pretty much high risk-- not going to get creative here but if you're indoors, face to face, and heavy breathing, that's high risk.
It just is- unless you both have been tested recently, which can *reduce* the risk, but not eliminate it altogether.
