What has your experience with dating been like? Does anyone else not really like it?

So like I’m a bit older and really just follow r/tinder for the lols. When I was younger I’d go out and say hi to every girl I saw chat for a bit and ask if they’d be up for a drink sometime and wanted to exchange numbers. Most would say no, some would say yes. We’d go for a few dates. Sometimes it would last longer. I did my best not to be creepy, was never drunk or high or whatever and things were fine. Not being an intrusive weirdo is key here. That’s how I met my now partner. Things have changed and it’s all apps now, but maybe give face to face interactions a try? You’ll know inside of ten seconds if you’re going to hit it off and save yourself what seems like a lot of hassle and insecurity fuel wondering if it’s something you said on an app or a shitty selfie. You have a lot to offer someone and you’ll be fine in the end. It’s all ahead of you pal ♥️
