Dating & Romance Rant

[Claviusnex]

I'm coming at this from an old codgers perspective so take it as you wish. To meet someone it helps to have a large social circle. This needs to be people nearby where you have an opportunity to interact in person. Why not online? To me this is more like trying to keep a remote relationship alive long term which is rarely successful. The reason for the large circle is it allows you to meet more people and start relationships without the pressure of it having to be romantic. They don't have to be close friends or confidants but should generally be people you like to be around and where you have some common interests. While you might find someone within the group, just as likely is people in the group will know others who might be compatible. Keep it light and over time you will find someone or be pointed to someone who would be worth trying to get to know. Another advantage is this should help you become more outgoing as you become comfortable around the group.
