As a disclaimer I did not read your entire post, but I have learned dating apps are for a subset of people. While they’re attractive for the wide swath of people you have access to, it’s very surface level. In terms if f improving your life find some hobbies that inherently have you meeting people. Personally dancing helped me a lot in that regard. The best connections I’ve had with people is meeting them and not even thinking of dating them. Granted that does happen naturally, but putting yourself around people that you find attractive ia a very good way to handle the emotions you had in your post. My DMs are open BTW

Yeah, I’m trying to find more local groups to be a part of. So far the book clubs haven’t been all that great, someone told me about one that’s a silent reading group so I night try that next. I also tried two hiking clubs, it was fun being around people but the pace was really slow, any time I felt like I was starting to fall into a good pace it was time to stop for the stragglers to catch up. Usually I don’t hike or read to socialize though, so that could be part of it.
Thank you though. It’s good to know finding hobbies and groups to socialize is the right path forward. I just need to find some more sociable hobbies, haha.
