Thanks everyone, for your thoughts and encouragement. I think I am going to go ahead and go on this date.

For example, normal question "where do you work" and shameful answer I wouldn't want to give "I'm unemployed right now due to PTSD". Or "Tell me about your family" "Uh, I'd rather not, I have no contact with them, and I don't want to tell you why"
You're not gonna get a second date after those.
So, I guess, I'm just feeling discouraged and like I'm stuck being single forever. I don't know if there's any solution.
I realized how there is so much about my life that I'm ashamed of, that I try to hide from people. But when you date, people ask questions, and I am so ashamed of the answers to those questions, that is why I've been avoiding dating.
How do you ever date or get married when you have DID??
A friend wants to set me up, and I suddenly realized: who wants to date someone with child alters?

What would I talk about if I'm trying to be honest and real?
You're forgetting in a relationship its not just you, your life, your experiences... But you *and them*.
Meaning you would have a wooorld of things to talk about even if you had no ideas. Because the other person is there. With their own set of ideas to talk about, likely, too.
For a bit of positive news, I've been dating the girl I mentioned for 3 months and she now knows I have parts. It's not an issue
