    • I work from home
    • My hobbies are solitary
    • I refuse to use proprietary platforms (discord)

    Being a recluse sucks, thankfully I live with my fiancee but it often isn’t enough.

    I understand this doesn’t work for everyone and you need to be careful but truly I met my partner through discord

      yeah, i did with my last partner too but i wouldn’t exactly recommend it as the first option considering how unsafe it was & some of the experiences my friends have had up there

        oh yeah, i’ve heard of a lot toxic behaviour coming from discord but it truly depends on the circles you run in. for the record i had made a brief attempt at dating while on reddit (i know) and that was pretty disastrous.

    I met my SO playing online games. We played pretty much every day together for 6 years then moved in together.

    Meet people in online social places. I met my wife in school but I also have a great friend who I flirt with, my wife knows, who I met playing an MMO. We do want to meet up but she lives half the country away and she’s still in college. Just fine a community you like and eventually you’ll open up to someone.
