There should be a social anxiety dating website

This is going to sound absolutely insane to many of you, but alot of us have a hard time dating because of our problem. However, knowing that the other person has SA also gives us such a common ground that I truly think a great relationship can come out of it. Give me your thoughts

You mean dating other people with SA? Personally I don't really think that's good for either person since it would seem double the frustration and emotional bagage. That and you could also drag eachother down since you would both feel inclined to avoid social situations together.

i have had a relationship with people with no problems,depression and social anxiety.I think it was alot easire with someone with the same problems as me we had more in common and could understand esch other. In other relationships i found it hard telling peple about my problems and sometimes they didnt understand

the thing with that site though, even though it looks cool, is tht noone knows about it. My major is business management and entrepreneurship, and nother would be more satisfying than owning my own dating service for people with SA.

I can see the good and bad of it.

Most of the people I have dated have been pretty outgoing, confident people. I think this helps add some sort of balance, but at the same time I think these people tend to get bored or frustrated by me. So, it adds some friction in the relationship.

I think I need someone who is more of an opposite of me. It is more fun, and I would prefer someone to be more aggressive.

But, at the same time, it'd be nice to date someone who understands and will not judge me or make comments about how I am.

It sounds like a good idea, although both partners might get worse rather than better. It would be nice to have a man who understood me though

HA HA i cant imagine seeing someone with agro/panic disorder...

wow could you imagine it... o it would be hell.! :lol: i piss myself off with this bloody condition having to deal with someone elses as well well i would go mad!

ive found that being with non sufferers almost gives you back that 'spark' you find the right one that doesnt pressure it can be a god send.

the only good thing would maybe be the exceptance in that relationship the 'i understand what your going through'

bad idea. we all need to get out more and get out of our comfort zone.

i think dating websites, in general, are a bad idea. it doesnt even mean you are less outgoing.

I know that having someone who i could relate to and had feelings for filled a gap, and therefore i was more complete and confident. I do agree that we need to get out of our comfort zone though. I have friends who have succeeded on dating websites, and others that have failed, but i look at is is that if it fails they just wont do it again, but for the poeple it helped look how much happiness they were able to get out of it.

it's generalising, something as simple as entering the website scares me to death! (what if someone see?), but i agree this is not hope for cure, just a way to find people who may understand

As others have said, you need a more outgoing person as your other half, as they can push you to do more things, but this isnt nessercarily bad as once your fully comfortable with your other half you will go to these places outta your comfort zone with them and they will usually ease you with their prescence anyway.

It sounds silly to have a person non-sa, as they don't usually understand... for example I try explaining everyday my anxiety and mental issues to my outgoing, amazing, hard-working, carefree boyfriend... He knows the score, he knows i'm not normal, but can't understand to some extent. But it can work, I promise, with a few disagreements (but everyone has disagreements). We have child though, so makes it more of a thing for him to want to be with me.

There was one bad time though that after an argument my boyfriend was saying i'm mentally ill and asking if I was going to overdose that night, which has made me even more self-conscious about the illness.

If we have severe SA (I have), what kind of a person (even fellow SA sufferers) do you think will be able to tolerate being with us, and what kind of a relationship is it going to be? Being negative, but don't think it would be very long, or a very good one.
