Being that I am at the dating stage of my life I have decided to start a thread that will discuss the moral, ethical, religious, and practical issues that addicts face when looking to find a soul-mate.

Well, I had hope to find someone who was right for me, meaning who didn't mind my addiction. But that is not how it will play out. Hashem will not give up on you like that. He will find you a wife who is perfect for you, for you-after-you-are-better. And through the marriage you will get better. This is important to understand because pornography you can kick, but you may view your wife as your sex slave, she will know that before you even get into bed, and that is the final problem that you will eventually have to get over.

I think it's irrelevant whether you tell her or not. A wife is already lined up for you.

If I'm not mistaken Rabbi A. J. Twerskey says that it is imperative that the girl be told... he says that many marriage has been lost simply because the girl feels that she was tricked in... (Besides that the actual Kidushin may be a mekach To'us??)

i also think in the past the halachik aspects have come up. you may want to consult a Rav. Also unless you have a strong recovery is it right to her what if you really mess up?
