considering dating again. what do women enjoy for first dates? i prefer activities like walks, museums —spaces that allow for movement and connection. i don’t like food/drinks for the first date. feels too “job interview-y”. these general ideas are inspired by esther perel & logan ury.
@miguel Ahh I'm not much help I think, my partner and I met through friends / school. I feel like despite a lot of dates happening through apps, not much long-term datING happens that way. Apps encourage a sort of "fungible people" mindset I think. Building community is a good approach, and then also letting your friends know that you are looking / open to suggestions if they have other single friends / coworkers / etc. If you're learning new skills and making new friends, it's not time wasted 🤷♀️
@miguel I have tried to have it ON a few times, but sometimes always goes wrong. It’s supposed to speed up image delivery a lot, but the one thing I notice is missing photos over here on Mastodon.
my local NAMI chapter has asked me to do a webinar and Q&A about growing up with my mom and to talk about what children of schizophrenics need. This is the stuff that my soul sings for!!
