You don't feel comfortable with receiving a hug?
Follow your instincts.

If someone touches someone when they dont want to be touched it's not nice.

How nice that someone wants to hug you ! How dangerous and disrespectful if he does ! So rules have to be agreed - have a nice walk somewhere - no hand holding etc . Hope it goes well x

I’d say that for the future wellbeing of a potential relationship you must do absolutely whatever you feel comfortable with and not be coerced into anything.

What does he mean by cant resist, he needs to resist if you dont want to. Virus or no virus.

I met someone online and saw him twice before lockdown. Since then we have spoken every night on Skype and get on really well. He has suggested meeting up again but said he doesnt think he can see me without giving me a hug. I haven't seen anyone inside my house or touched anyone since lockdown and although I would love to see him I dont want to take any risks. Should I see him and refuse to hug or should I hold on till it is safe. I feel that he is thinking I am trying to put off seeing him.
