Dear Anna,
My sex/love life has taken a couple of below-the-belt hits during the pandemic and I find myself single ... again. I've begun dating again and even went out with a pretty funny, attractive guy last week. I met him on the internet (yes, again) and our email exchanges pre-date were some of the more exciting and interesting ones I've had in a while. Now I find myself thinking about him and waiting to hear from him more than I'm comfortable with after one date. I fear that my desire for love and a partner are going to make me leap into something just because it's there. What do I do? — Trying Not to Desperately Seek Someone
Dear TNDSS,
