Feel like I’m too awkward to make good conversation on dating/hookup apps and also too awkward in person to really attract someone…

I've found a simple "good morning" or "how's your day going" can do a lot to break down those barriers.

Also like what the fuck do people want on Grindr? Am I meant to just start with “sex now” like these creeps do?

But seriously can I just meet a nice cute nerd around my age who lives not a million miles away?

Know the feeling, everyone I get close to seems to live far away or just wants to be friends. It'll happen though so got to keep trying 😊

I agree. I'm too self conscious and have high anxiety to do the dating app thing. Plus I'm older so I'm over playing dating games. I enjoy the solitude of being free but I do get lonely at times. Also I prefer to meet people in person but at the same time I'm too shy 😩

I feel this like dating is hard and I feel like it takes a while for me to warm up 🫤
