Dating is never something you should force yourself to do. The right person will come along when the time is right. It sounds cliche, but it's the absolute truth. And who says you have to go out to meet someone new? I met my fiance online - not on a dating website, but on facebook. I left a comment on a page we both liked and he added me. Don't worry about telling someone you have depression or social anxiety. The right person will either sense it or you will feel comfortable telling them. In the mean time, work on yourself. Work on making yourself happy and confident. The rest will fall into place with time.

I asked my Psychiatrist that question and he said to tell the person what your illness is. if they have a problem then run.

Starting to date someone new is kind of like a trial to see if you're even gonna click. I think, to me, info like that should wait until there is a reason to tell your date. Why cause a rift if u don't have to. If things go well and it seems u will b seeing a lot of each other,, then yes, sit down with plenty of time and disgust you're health. Then he can either stay or go,, but at least u r honest with him and if he stays then, u know he truly cares.
