Dating outside the fellowship
Hi everyone, I'm in a situation and I'm not sure how to approach it. I've put myself back out there now that I have a reasonable amount of clean time out there. I'm not rushing into anything but I'm also ready to explore my options. I reluctantly decided to do a dating app again. I put in my profile that I don't do drugs or drink, and made mention of how I am in a transitional period involving various areas of self-improvement such as education and health. I did not explicitly state that I am in recovery. Furthermore, I currently live in sober housing and plan on doing it until I finish my degree.
So now I have a few matches, including someone who seems like they could be a great fit for me. I'm just wondering if I should info dump that I'm in recovery, that I live in sober housing, no car, busy with school, and work a "get well" job. There are two ways to go about it, as I see it. Break the ice, and then after a few messages back and forth I tell her all these potential deal-breakers, and let her know there are no hard feelings if I sound like I'm not for her, or I could just get to know her, and not mention the "bad" stuff until it becomes a necessity. I'm leaning towards the first choice, but any insight would be welcome. My sponsor and his friends are all too old for me to bring this up with, lol.
