Matched with this girl on a Thursday, had a first date two weeks ago, hit it off, went back to mine and she spent the night. We didn’t have sex but got each other off and it was super hot. She texted me an hour after I dropped her off in the morning how she liked it when I did X last night.

After her shift that following day she texted she just took a bath and all she needed was a cuddle buddy and I said I could make that happen. Spent Saturday at hers and again didn’t have sex (my choice) but got super intimate with some role play and BDSM and it was solid for both of us again.

Next morning she’s up early for work and it’s her birthday. She apologizes for not inviting me out to her party since it’s just close friends and we just met. Again she texts me an hour after I get home with some dirty talk, I write her a short erotic poem which she loves and says how wet I make her. I don’t hear from her the rest of the day.

We had made plans to meet up on Monday after our Friday date, but then Saturday happened as a bonus (she originally had plans and canceled them to have me over) so I texted her Monday to see how hungover she was after her birthday and tell her what time I’d pick her up later that night. She ended up canceling and saying she needed a full me-day and that we could hang out Wednesday or Thursday after her work. Okay fine cool.

We keep texting lightly throughout the week and Wednesday rolls around and is a shit show at her work so I don’t even ask to meet up. Thursday comes around and we’re exchanging selfies and chatting but she’s feeling burned out and doesn’t want to meet up again because she has to open Friday now.

Friday was supposed to be a day off for her and she had to pick up a shift. Saturday we’re texting in the morning while she’s at work- she responds right away almost all the time and didn’t respond when I asked what she had going on later. After her shift she asks if she can call quick but then immediately says oops wrong person. I say that she’s going to get some spankings for that (she like sub) and she says cool but is too exhausted to meet up that night. Sunday we don’t text each other at all...

Monday night she texts asking how I’ve been feeling and that she’s been sick and just got a covid test. I’d been feeling fine and told her as much, and that I’d get tested which I did the next day.

Tuesday I ask how she’s feeling and she says same as the day before and that it was cool I got tested. Wednesday we don’t text each other at all.

Thursday I get my covid test results back and they’re negative. I text her my results and she replies that she was positive. I ask how she’s feeling and she says same as before and I say hang in there. That’s the last we’ve texted.

She has an OnlyFans that she’s been updating again now that her hours were cut at work, and she hasn’t been posting as much to her Instagram. So she’s definitely not going at full speed.

We both talked about wanting a LTR the first date (two weeks ago) and really hit it off. Obviously she’s sick with covid and it’s hard to focus on other people, and it’s not like we can meet up (well we could but she’s into health and me risking covid would be a turn off) but it seems weird that we aren’t texting at all.

She has been very responsive to when I text her, and she initiated texts over that first weekend so I know she can do it. So why no communication now?

Do I give her space and let her text me when she’s ready? At this point we both expressed interest in seeing other again- and now with covid there’s no real reason to text if she’s not feeling well or talkative.

Obv abundance mindset and remove attention to get attention. I’m in the best shape I ever have been and have been coming off the best 6 months of dating in my life so far (34)- 3 notches before this one including my first 10 so I know more will come around but this one is super rad and my type for LTR.

So what’s my move now- wait her out for her to come back around when she’s feeling better? Say fuck it and get myself some covid booty?

TL;DR new hookup was on the same page about wanting a LTR went cold after passionate weekend, turns out has covid a week later and now I’m wondering what to do next.

It’s been two weeks since meeting. She’s not initiating texts but responds immediately when I text her. She’s posting to her OnlyFans/IG so I know she’s not dead but also don’t want to push her away by texting too much.
