I think its gotten a lot better from how I’ve been treated by my young generation. My friends don’t care at all. This is the only person that is a prospective date that I’ve told and to be honest I’m surprised by how little he cares

In the future, it is best if you build a connection with the person before disclosing your illness. This way they will have gotten a taste of who you really are as a person and if they are a decent human being, it shouldn’t affect their decision all that much to have you in their lives (assuming they like you as a person)
This is something A psychologist had told me to do from that point on, as I would tell people right away that I had Bipolar Disorder and I could have seen many times in the past, that these people would think certain things about me and distance themselves from me or completely ex me out of their lives.
When I took the Pdocs advice, and let the person get to know me, especially a romantic interest, I would disclose after some time when I am comfortable with them. It has never backfired on me. Never had I known a girl to tell me it’s over because of my illness, having shown who I was first.
Granted, I have Bipolar and not Schizophrenia, which may pose less of a threat in the minds of others, I am sure this approach will work for you or anyone else in the future just as well.
You have to remember that even though it is withholding information at the beginning of a relationship, you are not lieing to the other person, you are simply allowing a connection to build before revealing this information about yourself, so that they may see who you really are, before forming an image of you in their minds.

Oh trust me I don’t normally tell a prospective partner until we get to know each other. He just opened up about his mentall illness up front and I followed suit.

Good luck and have fun! 
Haha, that is nice! Good luck with the date!
I have had pretty good luck lately… Makes me a bit nervous tbh. I’ve not been sleeping lately so we’ll see how I do for now. Worried the stress from volunteering is causing this
