Thanks for posting in the newly minted LGBTQ+ forum! I'm sorry I don't know anything about this. But I noticed no one had yet replied to your post. So I thought I would.

It seems as though, more_&-more, people are meeting over the internet. Back in my day there was no internet. So, if one was going to have a relationship, one "chose" from the people who came into one's life in whatever way that happened to occur. Nowadays, with the internet, it seems as though there are, perhaps, almost too many options to choose from? I don't know... that's just my impression. I hope some other PC members, from the LGBTQ+ community, reply to your post.
