Is the thought of online dating horrifying to anyone else? I tend to only be romantically interested in people I already know as friends or people I am familiar with/have a connection with.

Going through a super similar thing right now. My NT sister is also encouraging me to online date, and I’m trying- but I literally cannot comprehend how to do it successfully. I just don’t understand what people’s intentions are when they swipe, what my criteria should be, how to start a conversation, etc. I’ve only been excited about a select few people (who either ghosted me or never responded to my message) and a few have been people I know in real life.

It definitely got me to think about the people in my life I’m not considering and makes me wonder if I really am better off dating irl.

I also am really weird about vibes. I just cannot grasp what type of person someone is by just a picture and vague bio. Like, I NEED to observe someone for at least a week for me to get a good idea of their personality. So in that way, it feels completely pointless.
