I Wrote Something
Well, it seems I'm still trying, I guess. Haven't gone on a date in about 2 months (and the last 5 months before that), but snagged a potential date with someone on the usual dating app. She seems nice and pretty outgoing, and I seem to have more chemistry with outgoing people rather than, well, people like me, because I have an easier time reacting and playing off people than initiating conversation and such. So I have moderate hopes. She's only 20, though, to my 25 now, which I guess since I don't really date much didn't strike me at first, but now that I think of it, she's still in college, and college is less and less a recent memory for me. Still, didn't really seem to have any issues connecting through text, so we'll see how the in person meeting goes. I guess I should just be used to going through stages of giving up and trying again, and right now, it feels terribly important to try, as Buddy Glass would say. Wish me luck!
