I wear N95 masks and have been wearing them since August. I don't touch them at all when I am wearing them.
There is no need to remove them when I am outside.
I eat at home and don't meet anyone from outside other than one single person who has absolutely no outside contacts.
I work from home and most of the things I need, I have delivered to my home address. I also don't go anywhere near people who are not wearing masks or have their noses stick out. I give them pretty nasty looks.
Masks haven't affected my life per se. Corona in general has.
I am considering wearing these masks even when the pandemic is over during cold/ flu and allergy season. It has been very pleasant without contracting pesky colds for a whole year and without polen allergy.
I made a new friend in the middle of the summer. She had her mask on while we walked around park trails, and I didn't. Looking back, I'm not sure why I felt comfortable enough to do that. She only took her mask off to eat a slice of pizza.
The next time I hung out with someone I didn't live with was in November. We spent hours to together, and we both kept our masks on the entire time.
I'd stick with keeping a mask on if I were to be around a friend again.
I always wear masks when I go out, cause it's necessary and I see a lot of people not wearing one.
But I hate wearing masks cause it makes my nose itchy. So I found a loophole, I just stopped going out to meet people. The only time I got out I a couple blocks away from my house to a store. I reduce that too with grocery delivery apps.
So I for the most part stay at home.
There is nobody in my family that is high-risk, and all of my friends who have someone in their families who are high-risk are already self-isolating. So when I hang out with my remaining friends, there's no reason for us to wear masks unless we have to in order to get into a building.

I just haven't been dating during this time. And I rarely see my friends in person. When the weather was nice sometimes I would have a friend come over and we'd sit outside 10 feet apart. Now that it's cold we either video chat, or keep our inside visists short and rare and wear masks around each other the whole time.
Ehh? You’re Italian and you smoke? Jean don’t become a cliché...
The only friends I’ve seen in person are the ones I have at work. My fiancé and I don’t have our masks on at home because, well.. we’re at home? We kiss and whatnot so masking up around each (when it’s just us) would make no sense.
s Lately I only have been going out 2 or 3 times a month. The last time I was with two of my friends we all were wearing masks. I only took mine to wipe my nose and my friend took hers to drink water.
I don't have to worry about dating since I'm single.
We’re in lockdown, do we cannot meet anyone not in our household.
I wear a mask walking to and from places outside, wear it in shops, and 100% of the time at work.
My boyfriend is part of my ‘household bubble’, so neither of us need a mask if he visits.
I do not understand the temperature BS because anybody can have a fever but it does not mean you have the virus. Why not do a rapid test instead? Then not only will people not get turned away from a public place because they suspect they have the virus and also everyone can go unmasked inside if they all get a negative on the rapid test.
I don't wear a mask for medical reasons, I wear them as a sign of my rank in a certain clan structure that also entails the concept of face that goes for my hair-length getting longer too to keep myself rising in that hierarchy. So when other people wear masks in public, it is considered fraud to that same clan structure, and we are about as vocal as it gets while still maintaining face.
well sadly you have to handle face masks in dating , relationships or friendships due to this bad disease which is coronavirus but a way you can handle wearing masks is meeting indoors inside your house so you won't have to wear mask.
I think you're doing it right. What if she's asymptomatic? No test can tell that she is, with reasonable certainty.
I don't bother with face masks - unless forced to by law or regulation - as they are utterly useless against viruses. One would need a close-fitting, activated charcoal, organic vapour mask to obtain any level of decent protection.
Very carefully. I don't eat with others, so that is not a problem.
My boy friends and girl friends take off their face masks whenever they can. I don't like it anymore and I don't wear it when I don't have to.
I dont
Am single and haven't hang out since Corona. These days am catching up on old series and animes
I wear masks only when required, if I don't have to then I won't, and in my state, we only have to wear them in crowded spaces and buildings.
I wear masks when out. Not inside my home with my boyfriend. I take off when I’m eating or drinking. I hung out with my best friend who had covid and didn’t know we actually shared an appetizer... I luckily did not catch covid from her.
Doesn't make a difference to me. I'm single, but a mask doesn't effect my friendships at all.
I don't wear mask. And I am a combat medic, combat surgeon, I was helping in writing books "Fałszywa Pandemia", "Fałszywa Pandemia 2", "Fałszywa Pandemia 3". I am medically educated, and I know that masks doesn't work, even in 1%.
Hard to see if people are smiling or pissed off when talking to them. Then again, I dont talk to others in school
When we’re alone or inside out houses which is like 90 percent of the time we keep it off but when we go out in public we leave it on unless we are going to eat or drink.
i don't wear them. i stay at home when i'm sick and i trust the people i know or date to do the same.
