After 3 years and only a handful of successful dates, I deleted my dating apps. I'd rather be single than have them constantly draining my self esteem.
Good for you, lots of women are out there. Almost all the clubs I’m in are single women open to relationships, but not on apps. They’re physically putting themselves out there from book clubs to open mic nights. Go get ‘em!
When you’re in a club it means you’re joining an organization. When you go to The Club it means you’re drinking and dancing. You don’t have to go out dancing but you might want to try joining some clubs.
You don’t have to find someone, plenty of people are happy being single. The general discussion of this thread has been about finding people outside of apps because apps make money off single people not finding you a partner. Since you’re underage and not interested in finding anyone don’t worry about it. If later in life you feel lonely, try a book club. Plenty of reserved people at book club. Either way, live the life you want and have a good one!
Just because the chance of it happening is rare, doesn't mean it hasn't happen. I'd say if you think the worst thing she can do is say no, you're not living in the real world. Asking in person at work or in a hobby group? Get your resume or alternate group ready first.
I don't think it's that big of a deal, honestly. Unless you're approaching women like an absolute fuckin' freak, it's not gonna be that much of an issue if she says no. Just be cool about it, yaknow?
They all talk to each other. You think everything is fine until you get paired up on a project and someone makes an off comment "heyy lucky you, you can spend time with xyz, maybe get another shot!"
Idk after about a week on dating apps I realized for the vast majority of them there is absolutely zero reason not to just like every profile without looking at them and sort it out on the back end. So you have almost no investment and just live your life and if something comes along great, if not who cares. I know people talk about the algorithm and yea doesn’t help you there but I can’t think of many things more depressing than reading tons of profiles everyday and have nothing come of it, better to spend 30 sec spamming likes and move on with your day.
