I live at my moms house still, I am attempting to move into a subsidized place since I'm on SSI and can't afford to on my own. But haven't heard back on that so not sure how long it will take to figure that out or if I'm I'll figure out something else before then.
Anyways, when I met my current boyfriend he was sleeping on the living room floor of his friends apartment, and I didn't care about that. I also did date a guy who still lived at home before that and he broke it off with me pretty much. Basically its not impossible even if you have a less then desirable living situation...unfortunately there are plenty of people that do see that as a factor but not everyones like that. Also do you have your own room/personal area and are you working or getting some sort of income? and whilst its not good to be judged generally speaking you don't want to delve into financial stuff or complain about it before you've even gone on a date...best to stick to finding out what simular interests you have, what kinds of things they like and things that aren't stressful.
Also they could have taken it as you want someone to depend on financially or that you are depending on your mom and not working or anything which are things that could make things complicated. I even waited a bit before bringing up that I was on SSI when I started dating my boyfriend...and he seemed nervous to tell me about his living situation, but yeah neither of us where judgmental about that.
You could move out if you can afford it though, though I imagine you'll need room-mates because of the cost of living. Or accept that some of them will jude you for that, and remind yourself they wouldn't be worth your time anyways...and continue approaching females IRL and/or online if you want. I know my boyfriend said he had some terrible dates before meeting me but if he had entirely quit trying then we wouldn't have met.
