Been a while since I dated. I'm a 24 year old male, haven't dated since late 2014, so a decent chunk of my life has passed since then. Thing is, I currently work exclusively with men, all but one of my friends are male, and I don't go out much (not really an introvert, I'm always up for going out etc, I just don't initiate that much, I've grown very accustomed to being alone). My friends don't really like going clubbing or whatever, so I feel like my only option is Tinder (which is the only active dating app where I live).
However, I absolutely abhor text communication with strangers. I feel like it's all so forced, everyone (including me) overthinks every sentence et cetera. Part of why I hate it is that I'm pretty shy with flirting, along with the fact that I just don't know how to uphold an interesting text conversation. It also really doesn't help that usually girls don't have anything in their bio here, usually only their snapchat and instagram, and I use neither of those, subsequently, it's hard to make an interesting conversation out of it.

Weird thing about it is, I'm pretty confident about my personality and my looks, I just don't know how to get people to meet me in person, that part feels like the most difficult one by far.
