No, I've always thought dating apps and websites are dangerous and steered clear from them. On the other hand two of my cousin's met their boyfriend's through dating apps and websites and are now happy with their new partners. My one cousin even had two kids with the man she met so I guess they can't be all bad.

I think for me, I'd be happier going out and meeting someone face to face so I can hopefully judge their character correctly straight away. As I find it hard making friends though I don't see me going on a date for a long time.

Dating sites are geared towards women so you shouldn’t need to pay.
OkCupid for example only women can message

If you have no success on free dating sites, it's unlikely that paying for a premium membership will change that.

I was finding the identical men were on both paid and free sites. That being the case, why would I pay?

But that was ten years ago, which in Internet terms is a millennium. My advice might be out of date!

No I don't use any that requires payment because the age of the people on those apps are usually higher and I have no interest in dating anyone older than me, I want us to be in exactly the same place in life.

I've had no problem dating on free apps although you can tell some men there are not very serious but I avoid them and go for the ones who are similar to myself in personality and doesn't go out partying, drink much etc. and would like a serious relationship. I've never had a bad experience from online dating, the only psychopath i've dated I met in real life.

I used LOTS of free dating sites as well as paid 1s & I didn't have any luck on any of them. Kitty may be more likely to have good luck because there tends to be a lot less women on sites & guys are more accepting of disabled women than women accepting of disabled men. In general anyways.

So that's why you are struggling in dating, Cerebral Palsy is a serious condition.

Have you ever thought to interact guys in the Cerebral Palsy community?
