I feel dating kinda sucks, a large portion of my generation is chronically online and i feel many don’t know how to socialize in person.
I recently was eating at a local dinner, and saw somebody eating by themself. I walked up and ask if this seat was taken and they said no. But looked like a rabbit in a wolfs den, i introduced myself and we both got to know each other. I gave her my number but never got any call or text.
I feel lots of people around me are unappealing, yes i know that sounds seminaristic. Ive tried a foss dating app called alovoa, because i feel every other dating app would steal your liver if they legally could. The app has brought me miniscule success, i have made one friend whom i occasionally chat with.
But it kinda leaves me in a state of i want to meet new people, because at least where i live. The dating pool is really small, and my job isnt a public facing job (machine shop)
Any advise from the elders of lemmy?
Not everyone here is on Lemmy, and this is a Redditism that I wish we’d leave behind.
You can deny it if you want, but anyone who can view this is a Lemmy user.
Or a PieFed user or an Mbin user.
But this community is on Lemmy. No matter where you’re accessing it from, you’re using Lemmy in the end. You might use Lemmy with a piefed or mbin frontend.
