    Think you're reading way too much into it/applying too much pressure. What's wrong with just having another walk, then ask if you fancy chatting later over a drink online? It's probably the best you can do atm.

    Another walk but this time with STREET FOOD? That way you tick the food boxes, if you have any.

    The face to face stuff is essential as mentioned. I don't do any online dating stuff, that would be awkward as hell! Been on a couple of walks lately and I must say I'm not overly keen on them. I'd rather get drunk in a bar and I think with too many sober outdoor dates things will definitely become friends zone for me past a certain point.

    She likes fighting games and would kick my arse. I don't want to lose to a girl.

    Also more seriously again it will be online so don't get to "progress" or you are inviting her back to your place which is awkward.

    Trying to think of a better word than progress. You know the 2nd date stuff where you have got over the initial awkwardness of the 1st date enough that you know you want to see each other again so you want a bit more time together to see if there is chemistry etc and body language and face to face time are pretty essential.
    Get some Tesco value cider and invite her down the playground to get pissed. Nothing says 'meet cute' like holding her hair back as she pukes down a kiddies slide

    Not wanting to lose a videogame to a girl is something I'd probably look at first tbh

    Yeah she sounds great. Maybe worth taking your time with rather than wanting to progress to banging at the next opportunity.
    At the end of the day, we're (hopefully) coming to an end of these strange times. It'd be nice to come out of them with someone.

    Ah right.

    Get in there then!

    But just treat it slow. You can never go slow enough. What's the rush

    I saw a tv news story about a pandemic couple who had found love online.
    He had wooed her with deliveries of Gin and toilet roll.
    "Here you go you lush. Have a nice shit, it's 3ply" .

    A river walk and talk of a second date sounds promising after that.

    If you keep worrying so much about how it is going to go wrong then it will go wrong.

    Chill, make sure you tell her how you feel and that you have been a bit nervous but you like her.

    Keep the communication up with her.

    If she is responding to your texts and sending texts of her own without prompting it means she is interested. That doesn't mean its a done deal though, maybe she is interested in you, but she has a few dates in the same state.

    IME people tend to be quite brutal at dating these days. If she genuinely wasn't interested in you at all then she would have cut you off after the walk.

    Talk about favourite hotels, for example.

    Honestly, trying to engineer a situation where you could get physical would be way more stressful than building up a friendship/trust over a common interest. When things get easier and you can meet more often in person then it'll feel less awkward. Let the feelings grow, take it slow. I believe in you Ryan!
    Or just take her for a ride to a romantic spot and give it your best shot!

    Or just act yourself and see where it goes. No point bigging it up if you're not being yourself.

    You should definitely panic and consider proposing.

    If you do it publicly she's more likely to say yes

    Pull the power move and ask her what she is cooking you for dinner. That way you've clearly established the gender roles from the get go.

    Say.

    "You do the vegetables and I'll bring the sausage"

    Soaking wet quim.

    Coincidentally 'soaking wet quim' is the name of Quaddies band

    Actually went down well live.

    Maybe start a conversation about how many headboards your head has been smashed against.

    Gooooood. You gotta get through this Ryan. This thread is counting on you. DO NOT DISAPPOINT US (or yourself, but more importantly us).

    But to chime in with the others, she is probably thinking similarly about the annoyances of restrictions - cut yourself a bit of slack there. Bike rides/walks sounds good. You could be really naughty and share a pot of hummus in park. Just make sure you're careful when you cut the hole in the bottom to avoid any sharp edges lacerating your DS Lite..

    Is that a bizarre euphemism I'm not familiar with?

    Pretty standard behaviour. You just need to get with the times Joe.

    Stop being a pussy and get straight to the boning. You can decide if you like each other once that's out of the way

    Funny* story. I do actually have a restraining order. Or I did. Probably expired now, was against an ex in 2005 or so.

    *may not actually be a funny story
