7 Cups is *not* a dating site.

At 7 Cups, my area of specialty is relationships and sexuality. Therefore, I only handle those types of situations. I continue to find individuals who come to me utterly distraught about a relationship they found on 7 Cups.

This isn't something new, but certainly worth repeating. If you're looking for a date or a relationship, 7 Cups is not that place. Many sites and apps are available for that purpose.

Dating on a mental health support website may not be the best idea for a few reasons:

Boundary Confusion

7 Cups is designed for support and therapeutic discussions, not romantic engagements. Mixing romantic intentions with this platform could blur boundaries and potentially harm the support environment.

Vulnerability

People on 7 Cups might be in a vulnerable state. Exploiting this vulnerability for romantic or personal gain could be manipulative or harmful.

Recovery Interference

Entering a romantic relationship could complicate a person's healing journey. If the relationship doesn't work out, it may exacerbate existing mental health issues.

Shared Struggles

Dating someone with similar mental health issues can be challenging. Both individuals may be dealing with their own struggles and unable to support the other adequately.

It's crucial to respect the intended purpose and boundaries of 7 Cups. If you want a romantic relationship, consider using a dedicated dating site or app instead.
