Honest question, no negative anything intended:


If you read over your post and you see what you've done, and why, as a mature adult woman, do you honestly think you're ready for the dating scene?


My personal opinion is no, because essentially you've just described hurting yourself over not only potential dates, but other random people in a chat group. (That doesn't exactly scream mature dating material), and can put you in very harmful situations, should you actually date someone. Because people screw up, intentionally or not.


I know you said T is not an option because you don't drive and stuff, but maybe just consider working on yourself a bit more before seeking out Mr Right, as it will go a long way towards your personal safety.
