    I’m sorry to say I don’t have any advice to help find others, but I will warn against trusting dating apps.

For what it’s worth this internet stranger hopes you safely find what you’re looking for.

      Someone actually recomended datapps to me to find queers so thank you for this warning. Though I would skip them anyway because they’re such a privacy nightmare.
