Consider using online dating BUT expanding your search radius to people not in your area, and perhaps you could get a long distance relationship going.

On tinder, no luck. Ugh.. I'm ugly and have scars n burns from self harm. Without decent looks.. seems online dating seems pointless.

:(

I would probably consider a long distance relationship. Anxiety sucks.

Pretty much. I’d rather get another kidney stone than attempt online dating ever again.

I would consider it if the person was in a distance that was within at least a little over an hour.

The longer it takes for the event to happen, the less hopeful I feel about it.

They didn’t say why. Just that it’s been cancelled and “sorry for the inconvenience.”

I feel you, I have bad experiences with online dating as well.
But how you guys pull out a speed dating? Even for the thought of trying to compress myself to 7 minutes and repeat it several times I have cramps in my stomach :D

Frankly I think it’s a nightmare for aspies/introverts.

One has to be a super smooth talker and socially charming to succeed in this.
