Well you could have just blocked everyone and then contacted the people you were interested in rather than letting them contact you.

Honestly, though, social media and dating apps can keep your personal information (even after you've deleted your profile) and sell it. I wouldn't advise anyone to sign up for one. If someone absolutely has to meet people online, there are better spaces.

I never try coffee meet bagel, why the funny name.


I like the name. I think it's trying to create a cosy, intimate feeling of association and also a play on words. Like burger and chips or pastrama on rye, things that fit well together Boy meets girl= bagel meets coffee. It actually conjures up to me a nice, safe, familiar picture that's very smart :) It gives you a subliminal image of meeting a guy over coffee and bagels and you proceed with making dates on the site with this conditioning they have planted in your brain. TMI I know :D


You probably right, I will try the dating site.


I still think you would be better off meeting real people in a safe environment in your own community Kitty.


This is a bad advice.

She explained before that she can’t go out much and has no social life; dating app is her only way to communicate with men and to have a chance to find someone.

It is as if you are telling her “stop it; just give up.”


Hmmm okay, I can see the logic in that. My only concern is that Kitty meets scammers all the time and the chances for anyone to find a decent long-term partner online are not great. I am more concerned for her safety than anything else.


I have more pain in my leg, my feet can hurt too, alot of the time it hurt to walk. I would love to get out & go walking someday, but I cannot now. And it not safe in my town with alot of STUPID people that won’t wear masks & socialize from a distance. If I could meet men in my town, I don’t like the idea wearing a mask to meet men. I talked to good men before, my ex-boyfriend is a good guy.

Hope you feel better Kitty. I don't live in America I should not give advice really because I don't really understand your environment. It seems that you have exercised pretty sound judgement with identifying scammers. I hope you meet someone who is worthy of you soon. :heart: Let us know how you like the new dating site.

What did you expect? The ratio of men and women is about 10 to 1 there just because it's unlikely to emotional connect over internet as most NT women expect to do.


Not only NTs or women. There is a definite need to connect in real-life because you cannot do that only by texting, not even by using video chats. If you form a connection online it probably won't survive a real-life meeting if you are ND.
