Would you meet someone from Lit for coffee?

I know there is a lot of pent up frustration of wanting to get back out and interact with people but how much of the changes are permanent and how much of the changes will be forgotten soon?

If you meet someone, will it only be with a mask on?
What if the meeting has been a long time coming, would you be willing to kiss the other person?
What would it take from a getting to know a person standpoint before you would be willing to meet the person?
Do people even care anymore?

I live in Texas, and social distancing is already pretty much out the door. The gentleman’s clubs are open again, and I find it amusing that the waitress has to wear a mask, but you can a lap dance by a dancer who will literally get her mouth inches from yours while not wearing a mask.
 
Coffee!

Absolutely, value and miss social interaction more so now than ever. Love to meet a fellow Lit'ster over coffee.

Anyone in NYC/NJ, gimme a holler.
 
It really would depend on the person. If there was a connection and trust, I definitely would. No expectations of anything more=no disappointment and I’d be pretty okay, knowing I made an online friend into an offline friend. You never know if the offline attractions will be there if you choose to meet.... just my opinion.

I agree. :)
 
Maaaaybe. Like other say it depends on the person and probably location. More comfortable Meeting someone not in my home town.

The best relationship of my life started on line. We met in person about three weeks later and something immediately "clicked" between us. We both were still married to other people and had very demanding jobs but we managed to keep seeing one another about once a week. That beautiful relationship lasted for 16 years until her adult children persuaded her to dump me as "too much of a nerd."
Considering the hurdles that we jumped over to be with one another I imagine that I could find a way to stay safe with the right woman if she would come along now.

Wow, that is a long time to keep a relationship going. If both people have been careful and have practiced all of the things recommended and you had trust with that person I would see no reason not to meet for real.
 
We have met a nice couple from here, had a really great lunch and a leisurely evening. No expectations or anything, it was a great relaxed time. And we have met singles from here. There is a certain type of trust needed, that’s why we talk/chat a lot before hand.
 
If they happen to be in your town?

Assuming it would only be coffee?

Let’s find out!

Still wouldn't mind meeting but I instead of coffee I would meet in a park or some outside space that would be appropriate for social distancing with masks of course.
 
It’s hard enough to strike up a conversation with ladies based in the UK.

Historically, in another guise, I have met for coffee and it has been laden with good chat, laughter and then some intense mutual fun.
 
Many of the women I've become involved with all seemed to have started with a coffee! I like chilling in "third spaces", where social interaction with strangers, or just sitting on one's own, reading, sipping coffee, doing emails, whatever while letting the mind wander, watching others is the norm. I SO miss hanging out in my favorite cafes and shishal/hookah lounges...

Short answer - yes, always welcome an opportunity to get out, enjoy a different location, and explore possibilities - regardless of the intention, expectation, and even if we don't really click, always an opportunity to just get to know another person...
 
If only

I’d love to meet a few people from here for coffee or whiskey....but sadly I live in the middle of nowhere far from civilization!
