I tried chatting on some of the recommended apps on Reddit and I can confirm that none of them work.

Which bring me to the following question: How do you find people who are interested in long-term relationships online?

Note: Please don't suggest looking in the real life.

This isn't so easy although it does happen. Most people aren't meant to be in your life long-term IMHO and this typically isn't the expectation that others will have when talking to randoms online. I met my wife on a porn site, although I wouldn't recommend attempting to execute such a strategy for example. I recommend online activities that encourage interacting with a small group ofpeople on a consistent basis, such as a DND group, rolepaying, or perhaps writing short stories where you get the chance to know each other better while enjoying an activity that already makes you happy if you can find one.

You cant leave us hanging like this, should they make it into a Hallmark movie ? Performer? was she a performer or were you, both ? Or both just fellow connisuers?

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 36 points 1 day ago

Sorry! No, we're not performers nor especially attractive. In the interest of keeping it family-friendly we have a special interest and we connected because we were both fans of the same performer who is associated with and known for that special interest content that not many people like to enjoy. We are also avid writers so we wrote stories based on that special interest, and then we ended up getting to know each other through that writing. Writing is how we expressed those feelings that we can't share with other people who don't understand us as easily. After about a year of hanging out virtually I took a week off work and came to visit.

I gotta say, that's really sweet.

Even if it's because of some 11/10 degen shit that kicked it off. Maybe especially because of it.

I'd watch this documentary.

I can't be the only one itching to know what kind of degen shit it was, can I?

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 16 points 1 day ago

I mean, sure, but they very carefully spent most of that big assed paragraph not saying it, it would be rude to press further.

[-] datavoid@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

Why press? This is the time for wild speculation
