Anonymous Chat Bot

for anonymous chat with gender and age preferences.

🔎 How It Works

1. User starts with /start.
2. Bot asks for gender → user selects.
3. Bot asks for age → user enters a number between 18–99.
4. Bot asks for preferred partner’s gender → user selects.
5. Bot asks for preferred partner’s age range → user selects.
6. User is added to the waiting queue.
7. Bot searches for a matching partner:
   • Gender preferences must align.
   • Age must fit within both users’ chosen ranges.
8. If a match is found → both users are connected anonymously.
9. Messages are forwarded between users until one ends the chat.
10. Chat can be ended via button “End Chat” or /stop.
