I am so glad that I'm not out there dating with no back up network of friends.

It's a harsh and sometimes pretty bleak state of affairs. It can be hard on your self worth, patience and energy levels. Trying to have multiple conversations and keep the interest up with strangers. It's really not natural. In real life, you would be putting your efforts into one person who had caught your eye, not 6.

I am tired and I really don't feel like I am getting anywhere. I feel apathy, and this should be exciting.

Maybe you can ask a friend to set you up on a blind date?

@Kuronekko have you tried doing the opposite of normal? 👀

@HeadAboveWater what's normal lol?

@Kuronekko like what your normal decisions/preferences are

@HeadAboveWater I try new things a lot, but I still wouldn't want to go on a date with someone I knew nothing about. Id feel panicked and they wouldn't get a very attractive version of me. I like to at least know im attracted to them before meeting. Otherwise you put yourself at risk of a very awkward time.

@Kuronekko thats very true - the big aspect of that is being able to trust that your friend knows you and what you like it.

Ideally, they'd set you up with someone that youre attracted to
