Does anyone else prefer IRL dating?

I guess I have been lucky that I live in a smaller European country - can't imagine the fake wannabe stars promoting themselves online etc.. but yea, I like IRL dating WAY more than online.

It can be scary for sure, as a guy I get a lot of rejections and it's difficult to be charming all the time but I have gotten better at it over time.

The key is to accept yourself and what is coming out of your mouth is "good enough". What I mean is that so many people blank out when meeting new people IRL because they over analyze everything they are about to say etc and then just freeze (I got a lot of help with this freezing problem from this guidee - the chapter about using impro in conversations is gold).

When i approach some girl I like IRL I pretty much feel the vibe of that girls straight away and don't have to deal with being ghosted or talking for weeks before meeting and then realizing I don't have any chemistry..
