Hi all, please can I solicit some views on something?

So... as I've been posting, I have been escalatingly 'coming out' to people I am friends with about being a spanko / tickling-fetishist. Last night I had a lengthy and life-affirming chat with someone I've known for a while (and frankly, kinda suspected this about) who basically responded with something along the lines of 'uh... same!' and I've connected with others who... have overlapping interests.

Now, the question comes to meeting people (you know what for). I have such a TBC meeting arranged with someone for the unconfirmed time/date of 'when possible [in the current situation]' and left it at that.

Btw, I am not currently on this post discussing the safety issue of meeting strangers. The person I am considering meeting is not a stranger to me. So that's not the issue here.

But... I... hmm. I don't want to put them on the spot by asking how comfortable they are meeting [in the current pandemic situation] before they're happy. But... So... how do you judge when it's ok?

Currently in the UK gatherings are now being allowed again, shops are opening, pubs are open... you can go round people's houses but it's still suggested you keep 1+ metres from people (and don't hug etc) unless they're in your 'social bubble'.

I also happen to live in a county that has one of the lowest infection rates in the UK.

I'm still working from home, and to be honest, don't go out much. I've been meeting my parents (whom I am 'socially bubbled' with and going to the supermarket. I haven't yet gone to any other types of shops or pubs etc since they re-opened.)

So... what's your opinion on this specific type of safety concern?

(One thing as well is. I have a lot of leave I need to use from work between now and the end of Aug).

Sigh. I feel so unsure how to judge this. Help please.

Thanks.
