Yeah I know dating apps bad etc

I paid 17 dollars for the week pass allowing me unlimited likes 💀 of course because I’m desperate and they force you into that choice because using it for free you only get 5 free likes a day lmao. The problem is NOBODY fucking responds back to my messages, I’ve had 2 conversations out of 20 matches, one of the convos died after I asked them out, the other convo just ended abruptly for no apparent reason. It’s really demoralizing to say the least but I just don’t understand, if they don’t like me and accidentally sent a like they should just unmatch right away but they don’t.

The future is grim. How does anyone meet anyone anymore?

How does anyone meet anyone anymore?

You have to just find 1 friend with a healthy social life and everything becomes instantly easier since you'll regularly meet their friends, which is the most common way people get dates and new friends

Going from 0 -> 1 is always infinitely way harder to go from 1 -> 10

Guess I need to find better friends because I have a couple of these and I've never met any of their friends lmao

Hmm, they may also just think you don't vibe with their other friends tbh

Like I rarely host big social functions myself despite saying the above tbh because my friends are just so different from each other. Like I do not want to have a party with extroverted liberal tech bros, introverted straight edge career artists, chronically online ex-4chan commies, druggie "burnouts", etc.

I've had small 2-4 people hangouts before and they usually don't go that well even when I try to pick people that I think would vibe well with each other

This is all true and what I figure to be the case too. Just feels like maybe I don't truly vibe with anyone and that I'm just the token "weird" friend.

Then again, a couple of them have also said they'd introduce me to some potential dates but then just never brought it up again so idk.

If it makes you feel better I rarely get invited to big social functions either lmao, maybe like once every few months

I'm just making friends with a bunch of other weirdos who accept my weirdness but also recognize I cannot vibe with most people
