Good luck, I hate people I don’t want to have anything to do with them.
I’ve maybe tried 1 or 2 online dating websites and that’s it. Just gave up on it because online dating is not my thing. I’d rather meet a girl from school or through friends but that was a long time ago. I’m not sure if I am interested in meeting a girl now that I know I could pass on the schizophrenic gene onto my kids.
Been in these sites for a while and the conclusion is that I am trash, no woman would take me seriously.
I’ll have to be rich to find a partner who will be kind enough to tolerate me. That probably wouldn’t happen

I disclosed after about 3 dates. All is well
I disclose my illness if/when it comes up in conversation.
I don’t want to lie about it.
But if I feel it might become something more, I steer the conversation towards it. It might be manipulative, but I’d rather be honest and upfront about it and avoid the person feeling like I lied to them or kept vital information from them.
I wouldn’t like it if someone had something life- and behavior-altering and didn’t tell me.
Yeah… it’s sort of important to just demonstrate who you are at first…
I guess that’s what I look out for. If I’ve already left a good impression on someone… then I usually feel fine letting them know I’ve schizophrenia…

I was upfront about it early on but that’s because I didn’t want them to find out and then they turn around and say they want nothing to do with me. After two years of dating and finding idiots I found this one and even if it doesn’t work out I gained a very understanding friend. I mentioned early on to save myself the heartache. And weeded out ones worthwhile getting to know.
I would keep it to myself. i’d just try to be myself and see what people think of me. will they think something is wrong or will they even notice? there are a lot eccentric people who get away with being different without any stigmas. you deserve the same treatment at least, and really it’s only your business anyways
the only time it would come up for discussion would be if it got serious and there was a possibility of having children.
im considering online dating myself, i dont think im apealing though lol. Its not really my style, i usually prefer to go to bars or certain places to meet people. hope whoever uses it finds something~
EDIT: o yea, and bout the illness…i would tell them straight up. It wouldnt be my first line but it would most likeley be on the first date. I try to be honest, some people may even freak out or think the wrong thing if you tell them. If they do, ask if they would want to be friends then.

i may have an extreme view, to me online dating seems like a bad move. i mean, you want someone who has things in common with you, what about someone you went to school with? or someone you have frequent real life contact with? call me old fashioned, but i think that’s better. though online dating works miracles for many people
