I second what @Holly said! I am very socially awkward but dating sites give me the time I need to think through my responses and you can carefully choose your photos and play with the angles when taking photos. It's a lot less pressure in my opinion
To be honest I feel the same way. Just thinking about it stresses me out. I meet my daughter’s father when I was in high school and my younger daughter at work. My kids are 10 years apart. I’ve been in long relationships. Now the thought of starting over again makes me feel sick. That’s why I haven’t tried.
I would say use dating apps, because then you can talk to a few people, build up your confidence more, and where you are behind a screen it reduces the pressure
