Giver her a week or 2 weeks. If she lasts for a month, she’s genuine.
She is not asking me for my address. She wants to converse with me. She doesn’t want to relocate right now. What she means is if we converse and if she likes me, then she could visit the place. It doesn’t mean she will visit just like that, without friendship and due course of time.

Yup, con artists don’t have the patience because they want to cash in immediately and move on to the next victim.
Depends how wealthy they think the victim is.

She doesn’t klnow I have schizophrenia!
Is it that hard you think to get women interested? Haha you are a freaking disbeliever!
Maybe she’s genuine.
But there’s a chance she isn’t.
She could be catfishing. Using someone else as a photo of her. It happened to some1 I know so these things really do happen.
So my advice is, if you really think it’s worth pursuing, just be cautious.
I guess if it is a scam thn you will learn from it.
If not, then congrats.

That is a good one. Tell her you have schizophrenia and see what her reaction is.

Why would I tell her that?
Besides, I am symptom-free now.

Fair enough. But you have to tell us. How long have you known her for? It’s always good at the beginning of introductions.

I have known her for a week. Mind you, if it is a verified profile, then the person is real.
Also, she says she wants to know me and talk with me. It is not what you are thinking, that she will visit just like that. When I told her I don’t live in the US, then she asked me where I live…and believe me where I live all the scammers are here. Women don’t really expect to squeeze money out of people from here…they would rather try with people who live in wealthier places.

Anyone with social anxiety can perhaps provide constructive feedback?
I have social anxiety. I feel much better when I am open about something as serious as psychosis. But we are all different. I guess

First of all, it doesn’t take much to get verified, even for a scammer.
Second of all, for people in poorer parts of the world, anywhere in the us is wealthy enough.
But I suggest take it slow.
Tell her you want to get to know her, to be sure the chemistry is right, before you talk on the phone or meet in person.
Stick to messaging through the website for a while, and then maybe move to instant messaging later when you’ve built a level of trust and familiarity

I don’t think disclosing that is a good idea.
I have schizoaffective which is in between Bipolar and Schizophrenia anyway. But, yeah, I have had psychosis…disclosing is never a good idea. I am not looking to marry someone, just a fling or a relationship you know.
Yeah, instead of chasing women on the internet - visit your local pub and club and meet a woman there IN PERSON.
You sound way too involved after just receiving a few chat messages and a probably recycled photo off the internet.

You think that is easier with social anxiety?

I agree. But, if I were to talk with her, what sort of a conversation would I make. I am not really into small talk anyway. This is the issue. Social Anxiety gets in the way.
