May I invite a friend to take a walk?

So, even though I live with a spouse and children, I am lonely. Would it be OK to ask a friend -- or even a somewhat friendly acquaintance who lives nearby -- to take a walk around the neighborhood with me for 20 minutes or so? (More inside)

Surely I am not the only person who -- despite not living alone! -- feels alone and socially isolated. Is it OK to spend time with someone else for 20 minutes or so walking around outside in the suburbs, especially if masks are worn and there is reasonable social distancing? If someone texted you and said, "I haven't seen you (or almost anyone else) in a while, let's take a walk," does the invitation violate social norms in the C19 era? Would you find such an invitation intrusive or rude or demanding, or might you welcome it? I appreciate that I am overthinking this, and I don't want to come across as needy either in IRL or on this page, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE A FRIEND OCCASIONALLY. Thank you.
