A fellow trans masc contacted me on grindr asking if I wanted to hang out and smoke weed.

Fuckit, sure.

We ended up just hanging out in my car. It turns out he was on the brink and using grindr to find some community. He had been homeless and struggled with severe addiction, and he felt disconnected.

We ended up just holding hands and hugging for two hours. I invited him to a queer community event today.

This was my first grindr date and I think I'm going to keep using it to find guys to hold hands with. It's nice.
