Hey y’all
I’ve recently moved to a new city which means I don’t have a ton of friends, and the ones I have made are in serious relationships (and by extension, any possible connections there are also usually in relationships). I’ve tried meeting people out and about and am just not having much luck, which is leading me back to OLD.
My biggest issue is THE APPS SUCK!!!!!!!
I feel like tinder/hinge/bumble are so overflowing with hookups that it’s not even worth it, so I’ve been off the apps for at least 6+months now. Tried okCupid, but the men seemed old (I’m 26 for reference, they were all easily 30+) or really weird. Any other suggestions? I’m trying to find one that still resonate with the younger crowds but has a more serious tone, which is why im thinking off-the-beaten-path type apps might be better. I’m even considering speed dating, but the organization holds the event for 21-50 yr olds, obviously going to be sifting though nonsense there.
Thanks in advance xxx
Stop actively looking. And stop doing things for the purpose of dating/meeting people.
Follow your passions and interests. Join a local/social sport, go to an art exhibition, etc. Follow the hobbies that fill your cup and you can meet people organically there. When you’re in your element, it is easier for people who are of the same wavelength to find you.
I hate to break it to you, but they all suck.
Speaking of speed dating,I don't like it either because of the age ranges they put. I'm 35. Why in the hell would I be interested in someone 10 years older or 10 years younger than me?????
OLD is a dumpster fire. I mean you could try using the Burned Haystack Dating Method, but you’re still going to be blocking thousands of scrote men (not exaggerating). It’s a waste of time and energy.
Put your energy into pursuing your own interests and in leveling up your career, education and hobbies. Be social (with HV friends) and eventually a HV man will come along (maybe?! Lol there aren’t enough HV men to go around, so it’s honestly a crap shoot).
