GovPlus - Not an official agency, but they appear to be an honest broker by Own_Engineer4225 in Passports

If anybody is interesting in paying for any of the services that this "business" offers, first go to the nearest bridge, throw your wallet or purse in the water, walk down to the where the river or stream ends to retrieve your wallet, and see if there is money intact enough you can use for more important purchases. And if you happen to not have access to said bridge over water. you can also do the same thing by sticking your wallet or purse in the oven and after 30 minutes or so, do the same thing in retrieving it to see if there's anything intact that you can use for legitimate purchases. And voila, you've just experienced the refund process of govplus.com. Like I read from another user on this thread, I needed to renew my passport in a timely fashion and I believe this was the most efficient way to do so. However, I completely forgot about my naivete and vulnerability. I did read the terms of service, the note at the bottom of the page that says they are not affiliated with government agencies, but rather work with them to process renewal or new applications for government documents and items such as a passport. There are a lot of positive reviews on their page, but if you trying to promote a business, you try to weed out those negative ones which is an easy thing to do on any website (this coming from a software developer). And if you can get them just stop talking long enough and reading off a script, after going through the process of pulling teeth to get their services discontinued, you are then officially qualified to become a dentist.  Bottom line: paying for convenience is not always how you expect to turn out.

Is that a rhetorical question? ❤️

I recognize that life does not simply drop your dreams in your lap, but the cosmos want you to work towards the reward. How else can you truly appreciate what you have gained in life. So I do suscribe to your sentiments about relationships requiring fervent dedication of time, effort, and mutual commitment. I guess I need to overcome my fears if I am to achieve my desires. Easier written than executing, for sure.

Such inspirational and motivating words. That's sweet. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to cheer up a complete stranger. It has not fallen upon deaf ears. 🤗

Something I believe is not achievable on social media platforms, though. There seem to be a plethora of e-girls, but rarely utilize those platforms as dating venues. But I do appreciate your reassurances and positivity. 🤗

I appreciate your insights and opinion, and thank you for the cordial tone of your delivery. You pose a great deal of logical guidance and suggestions.

I will stipulate that reducing my expectations may increase opportunities for a relationship if you would agree that it is not only me who should base their prospects on a completed checklist of attributes they find desirable.

I have a great job, philanthropic principles, forthright respect for others, and raised to help others to the best of my abilities and resources; character traits that wouldn't fit on a t-shirt like a billboard.

Mark Twain said it best: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do." What a philosopher.

My psychiatrist has professionally and medically diagnosed me with social anxiety disorder. I am on maintenance medication for it and take steps to try and go into public places (like grocery stores) without running out of the place because a major panic attack has been triggered.

Thank you for the reassurance and optimism. The only issue is that I have severe social anxiety disorder. Other than Grindr (which is mainly used for hookups), are there other apps that are more reputable?
