I met someone on a dating site and we’ve become pen pals until the pandemic dies down. We’ve never met in real life. We’re both divorced with young kids and both a little broken and we acknowledge it. When this is all over we want to go dancing together. If there no quarantine I would have danced with him right away because I’d rather meet people in person. But here we are, right?

How can I build rapport with him over email without meeting in person? I don’t want it to fizzle out. But I also don’t want my imagination to build him into something he’s not so when we do finally meet I’m not disappointed, and he’s not disappointed in me either.

The 36 questions that lead to love come to mind, is there something like that I could follow?

Thank you!
