One of my goals this year (it’s been a goal for a while just wasn’t confident enough before) is to get a girlfriend.
I haven’t dated anyone in like, a decade since high school.
Now that I’m older I see my friends and even coworkers casually dating or meeting people super easily. Meanwhile I feel like the odd one out sometimes even like a third wheel or a burden.
But honestly by late 2023 my confidence has leveled up big time and I’m proud of that. The last couple of years I’ve been getting out more hitting up conventions concerts and bars with friends. I even talk to new people and sometimes make friends but I’m still single.
I’ve tried pretty much every dating app out there but no luck. Bumble almost worked but nah.
Out of all my goals for the year dating again is the big one. I know I’ve got the confidence now just not sure what the next move is.

Maybe speed dating or a dating group would be fun.

It's frustrating how easy it seems for some people.
