I got an engagement notice from someone today.

Obviously parties are off.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

FWIW, NASI is telling people not to date.

I'm no rabbi, I'm no doctor.

Get engaged. Get married. More and more and more simchas!

For me - only if it's someone getting married in Crown Heights, unless it's first circle family or mechutonim.

But this really is a question for doctors and rabbis, though I might say the question should be *how* to go about it not *if*.

Any ideas for places to date during these times? Obviously would have to be outdoors...
