Online dating

I’m 31 with one DS12. I’ve been single for around 3 years and I’d like to dip my toe into online dating. I’ve only done it very briefly in the past but I’m definitely ready to invest a bit more in it now.

I’m really just looking for a friend with benefits type of relationship. I wouldn’t sleep around or anything but I don’t want the responsibility of a full relationship just now. Honestly I just want sex/affection/human touch with someone I’m attracted to and like without having to fully involve them in my life. I wouldn’t want them to come to my home where my child lives, I wouldn’t want to see them more than once or twice a week max but I also don’t want to just meet them online and go straight to their house 🫠. Ideally I’d like to go for a couple of dog walks/coffee/drinks or something first to make sure the “friend” bit is there before the benefits bit. AIBU to try and find this? If not, can anyone recommend apps/websites?

Pick a paid site, post some good pictures and be very clear about what you want. First date in a public place and look for red flags, slagging off ex’s, not seeing children, casual racism etc.

If you’re going for friends with benefits, would you be happy if they had other “friends?” If so safe sex only.

Would you be better off in a relationship that has clear boundaries?
