Is this irresponsible or a good solution for a date?

| I kind of did that the other day. I needed to drop something off at a friend's house so we sat more than six feet apart in their backyard and chatted for about an hour. I did not use their bathroom as I had known I would not. We did not hug as we normally would. It sure was nice to see someone I know and love after three weeks of self isolating at home, I am single. I don't know if it's technically "allowed" but I don't think it was any riskier than going to the grocery store. |

| Yes, I think it's fine. But why do you need to ask for our advice? |

If he is dating his patients, perhaps he cannot he trusted to maintain appropriate boundaries. It is definitely unethical, as PP said. I’d be cautious.
Please come back and explain, OP. |

OP here - Trust me, it's not as unethical as it sounds. I promise. I was only being treated for something for a few weeks (physical therapy). I MADE the move on my last day there knowing I would never see him again about getting together sometime. He reached out via a social media platform and asked for my number. |

I think the having a stranger over and him being your doctor recently seem dicey but the actual date seems fine.
Some reports are saying we should stay 20' apart. Do you have a megaphone, and do you want your neighbors hearing you holler at each other? |

Park bathrooms are closed, so there is still the same issue... |

| Where are you, OP? DC's order says you can only recreate with members of your own household... |

And now you're looking for a different kind of "physical therapy"... |

| Tell him it's alright to piss in the woods |

| What’s up with all this “what if he needs to piss”? Does he have a weak bladder or something? Is he over 60? If not then the guy can hold his urine for a few hours while he visits the OP. |

| Sheesh, you do realize if both of you do not have COVID-19 you're fine. Just find out of he's been in contact with a lot of people. If he's practicing social distancing as well and he's not sick there is no reason you cannot meet him. |

The only way they’d know is to get tested- you can be a carrier and not have any symptoms. If he’s currently seeing patients, he should not be socializing like this. And if he is, he’s not very responsible. |

OP, I know this is a tough sacrifice but I would wait until this ordeal is all said + done.
Reason being is that if you are so wildly attracted to this guy & you guys are drinking together..... There is too much of a risk that things may heat up and you both may get caught up in the heat of passion. Why put yourself in such a situation?? Plus since he works in the medical field, there will be a huge risk if you do end up even just kissing each other. |
