I'm on a dating hiatus bc I can't deal with potential partners who don't feel the gravity of the pandemic. No I will not go out to eat, or go indoors anywhere, or kiss you, or be close with you, when you're not taking the same precautions I am to save my own life. 1/4
Unrelentingly for the past two years it's felt like dates have, on the whole, simply decided that my day-to-day life in isolation (except for work) is not enough. There's always the "well how long do you want to zoom/talk on the phone/chat without meeting?" 2/4
When I answer - until I feel safe again - that's never satisfactory. Which is fine that's their prerogative. But it's still hurtful. My life is fun and purposeful and delightful even without in-person socialization/intimacy. Partnership does not require physical presence. 3/4
Starting to wonder if I can only ever move comfortably in disabled circles. And wondering if I will ever find a partner capable of valuing my life regardless of my bodily limitations. 4/4 #DisabilityTwitter
