Marking this as 18+ cause I want to talk to other adults about it. I’m bi so I feel like dating only one gender could limit my sexuality, but I also am terrified of men on dating apps because of all the horror stories: stalking, unsolicited nudes, them matching with you just to insult you, etc etc.

I was with my ex all my adult life, so haven’t gotten a chance to date and really want to… but I need advice on this. To date or not to date men from the apps…

Also what apps do you guys use too?

EDIT: Thank you for all your perspectives! I’ve come to the conclusion I’m NOT going to date men on dating apps and only will date men I meet out in life through hobbies or school (if they pass the vibe check of course).

I have severe ulcerative colitis, and possibly lupus (still trying to figure that one out). I’m in a flare right now where my whole body just aches.

I’ve been out of work due to autoimmune for 3 years now, and my goal is to try to figure out next steps this year.

I’m curious what you all do for your jobs. I think I need something where I can sit down a lot (doesn’t have to be wfh) and can have flexibility for time off when it comes to doctors appointments or flares. Good benefits/health insurance is necessary since I’m on biologics.

I have thought about going back to school, but that makes me nervous for the same reasons and I don’t really know what I’d want to do or what field would be good for me.

Any insight would be so appreciated!
