@CathyTea yeah but I can't even go into Toronto entirely on my own without either a)parents or b)day-program. How can I meet new people ever? The only way I could ever meet new people OR have my own adventures is to move elsewhere but that's not an option for a person on ODSP and i really want to date-I'm really behind on the dating department
Hmmm.... Well, romance can find a person anywhere, anytime! I met my boyfriend at a pizza party that I went to hoping to see somebody else (who didn't show up) and he went to it hoping to talk with the girl who threw the party (who was busy starting and then putting out a kitchen fire while baking the pizza!), so we ended up talking with each other... and that was ages ago, and we're still talking!
The point is... you can meet new people anywhere, and you never know when you might meet someone who can be a friend for life!
Some of my favorite places to meet people are the library, a coffee shop, or the food co-op.
I'm stuck in this little town where everyone knows me..so I'm not likely to meet anyone new-especially not any mates around here since I don't drink and I don't go to parties (technically there are none that I'm know of and even if there were I wouldn't be allowed to go not unless I had a girlfriend available and most of mine are either busy or live elsewhere ). If I'm not at the gym-I'm cooped up at home. And my Day-program is no use either since we now have a rule of "Can't have romantic relationships" outside of the Group..and that's basically the only place where I could have found someone..since I can't go farther than that on my own. Dating online is no good since 1)I can't use a real picture and 2)If I was to meet with someone from the online community of ANY gender I would try to bring a girlfriend along with me so it's safer.
