Hello. Sorry if this post is in the wrong place.
I am new to all of this. I'm in my mid-30's, average-looking, but have just never really had serious relationships or hook-ups due to depression/anxiety. So I've been thinking about giving this a try, but I have a few questions...
First, obviously, how do I not end up in fucking jail or murdered or missing a kidney? How many of these posts are real?
Is Eros trustworthy? There's someone I've seen on that site from a neighboring state that I would be willing to try this with, but I have no idea if she's some sort of trap (the Ackbar kind). Does the fact that she shows her face a red flag or is that just preference? Is the fact that she's not on this site a red flag? I searched for her in her state's forum, but she didn't come up.
I keep seeing the Preferred411 site, but apparently they stopped taking new members. Most women ask for references, but I'm not sure how to do that without involving my private life (which I will NOT do). I realize that these women are also trying not to get arrested or killed or worse...
Thanks for any advice.
EDIT: Well, after using the Search function, I found this thread, which is definitely helpful.
