If you had Covid, would you want someone you’re talking to to check in everyday?

I just started talking to this guy a few weeks ago and our first date was so good, we made another one that night. All our plans were stopped though because he got Covid the day before our date. We’re relying on texting and possibly FaceTiming, but it’s been one day and I already feel like I’m annoying him because I’m just not a good texter (bad at keeping conversation going, try to keep it lighthearted and make a lot of jokes but he likes deeper talks, etc.). I don’t want to keep bombarding him and asking how he’s doing so I wasn’t going to text everyday, just every so often (every other day), but does that come off like I don’t care?

Yeah everyday is fine

No a few times a week is better

Depends, if he is feeling really sick he might not be up to it every day if he doesn’t feel good

B. That would be nice but not necessary.

Does he initiate conversations?

[DragonRider18]

He does, it’s very equal on who starts it but with him being sick I rather just wait and see if he wants to initiate

If he's initiating conversations , you're good and don't have to worry about being annoying.

Thanks for the advice :) towards the end of the conversation I could sense it was dying down so I just reacted to his last text. Should I just wait until he starts it up again?

[Opinion Owner]

You can wait for him but if two days goes by with him not texting. You can initiate contact because there's a possibility he's feeling the same way you are. Lol

Should I offer tomorrow to cook him something or is that too much lol

He has covid. Keep your butt away from him 😂.

You can offer to send food (delivery) for him If you want. But read the situation, you only started talking to him a few weeks.

😂 you’re right thanks. I just have horrible anxiety and I’m honestly just overthinking it. His texts were a lot more delayed today and he didn’t put any heart emojis at the end of the conversation that’s why I’m just panicked but like also seeing it written out I can definitely tell I’m just being extra lol

Text makes you overthink because you can't tell the person's tone/mood/emotions like you would do through face to face conversations. I get how you feel.

Just play it cool and let him put in some work. You're probably a dime piece ( no offense) but let him chase too. Lol
