I fear rejection should I join a dating app?

[Anonymous]

I have never dated because I am very timid and shy. However i am 25 now and i have been thinking that i should join a dating app. I am very insecure and i take comments about me personally, and these comments affect me deeply they even trigger eating disorders. I avoid dating and joining dating apps to protect myself from unnecessary comments and to avoid triggering myself. Would it be a good idea for me to join?

No. Dating apps are brutal, so if you have a sensitive psyche you should avoid them. Instead find something that interests you where those you might be interested would also attend. As one example, I love museums and have met several ladies at places like Bowers or the Getty or on the Laguna Beach Art Walk.

Best thing is that by doing something you are interested in, there is an easy topic starter.

Well theoretically yea, but for me it was easier to find people in a non-dating apps.

How is a dating app going to help you?

[Starrrboy]

You can always try and increase your chances.. but if you're very timid and shy , dating apps might be a rough experience for you..
