Fellow #adhd singles, do you tell your dates about ADHD? If yes? At what point? What are your experiences?
It's official, I hate #dating, ... I went on my last and final date ever today. Don't get me wrong, the guy was really kind, cute and interesting, but I walked home thinking ' I can't do this again', because it feels too much like a job interview, (bleh) I don't want the creation of my interpersonal relationships to feel like this, (unless it's for an actual job)... You know what? just be my friend, the quickest way to my heart is through #friendship, and if it becomes more, cool, if not , also cool. 
Red-hot #dating advice from my Mum which I might actually start using...
"Maybe you should only ever agree to a second date after you've asked the man if he can tell you 3 things he's learnt about you during the evening."
In no particular order, here are some of my worries about potentially getting into a relationship for the first time in more than 15 years, and my first #queer relationship ever.

Some of you have been eagerly awaiting part 2 of my test date with Jack. HERE IT IS!
The conclusion: love yourself before you start #dating. You'll know you're ready to #date when you can accept rejection with a shrug and 'your loss!'.

Seen in a dating profile of someone currently traveling:
"I travel frequently for work."
What they probably mean: "You're not wasting your time liking me. I'm going to be in your area frequently."
What I understand: "Work sends me here and there. You'll be lucky if I'm in your area once a year. Lol!"
Top 10 things flirting taught me:
1. No means no
2. Honesty is hot
3. Brain is an erogenous zone
4. The power of a question
5. Imagination is a drug
6. People who do a good voicemail are my kind of people
7. I am the story (ht J. Winterson's "Powerbook")
8. Second chances are rarely worth it
9. It's OK for men to admit they hurt
10. The flow, and how to go with it
11 (bonus) multilinguals do it better, always
Good luck prompting your way to all that, I guess
First #Porn , Now #SkinCream ? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control
What started as a misguided attempt to protect minors from "explicit" content online has spiraled into a tangled mess of privacy-invasive #surveillance schemes affecting #skincare products, #dating apps, and even diet pills, threatening everyone’s right to #privacy.
#ageverification
Electronic Frontier Foundation · First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of ControlI’m old enough to remember when age verification bills were pitched as a way to ‘save the kids from porn’ and shield them from other vague dangers lurking in the digital world (like…“the transgender”). We have long cautioned about the dangers of these laws, and pointed out why they are likely to...
Genuinely blown away by how popular this post has been. Now that the internet is becoming more hostile to adult content, maybe I should pivot to #dating advice. I have lots to say!
Part 2 will go up on Wednesday next week - subscribe at the bottom of this post for updates.
I wonder if the Fediverse will ever create an app for dating and/or friendship? They’ve done just about everything else so far. 
A friend invited my wife out to see Colin James at the Port Theatre in #Nanaimo and has subsequently got sick so can’t go. My wife asked if I’d like to go with her. We’ve known each other 55 years and this might be the first time she’s asked me out on a date. I said yes. This could evolve into a long term relationship. #Blues #RockAndRoll #Dating #VancouverIsland #pnw
I didn't expect any men to take me up on my offer of doing a test #date for feedback but... someone did!
Meet Jack! And learn some fun stuff about #dating along the way: how to write a great first message, why positivity is key, and more...
Two friends attended a Coldplay concert together. One fronted the money for the tickets and later requested reimbursement. They ended up asking a Canadian small claims court to adjudicate whether the engagement had been a date, with mixed results.
Continued thread
I'd love this to get a lot of shares. It's SFW and I think genuinely helpful - some of Jack's mistakes are ones many make on #dating sites, and I have given useful advice on how to avoid making them. Especially proud of 'compliment, connect, question'. Make your first message stand out, innit.
![Compliment something on their profile, connect with them over it, then ask a question.
I love [name of band they have mentioned] and I saw them at a gig back in February! Amazing live act, would love to go again – possibly my gig of the year? What’s the best gig you went to last year?
Genuinely laughed out loud at your Monopoly joke, I’m also a bit of a board game nerd – that one’s my nemesis when there are so many better ones out there. Do you have a favourite? Any new ones I should check out?
That picture of you on a clifftop is iconic. I’m really into hiking too. Where was that photo taken and how long did it take you to get up there?](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/109/636/627/056/381/original/f817bd0698394047.png "Compliment something on their profile, connect with them over it, then ask a question.

"It’s hard to put yourself out there. It’s a challenge to be vulnerable. But you do have to do it if you want to get a date."
NEW BLOG! Remember when I said I'd do test #dates with blog readers & give feedback? Someone volunteered!
Meet Jack!
I opened OkCupid and they served me up a banner that says I should join Tinder. The end is near. Match.com has enshittified online dating. I guess it's time to join Feeld and FetLife. #dating #datingapps #tinder #okcupid. #feeld #fetlife #matchdotcom #enshitification #onlinedating
