Dating🤷🏻♀️❤️!?
The story
I'm a single girly and I'm curious about the bestest ways to meet people. I recently am able to drive around and got my ID's and stuff... Super jazzed about that. But I'm curious, since these days most people just suggest dating apps... And I've tried them...😑.
They didn't work out🫠. Plus, even though money isn't technically an issue for me anymore... It's annoying as all heck to have to pay to find love or at least a compatible relationship😒.
I'm also new to the area I live in, and I don't know what people would recommend meeting people😅. Especially in this day and age.
I'm totally open to meeting people, even if it's just to make friendos... But it's hard to tell if people would be open to being friends with a stranger🫠. Life ain't like the movies where there's a convention meet-cute and we all dance around the fire and sing kumbya🤪!!
I think my mental health has gotten better, I eat better, and exercise more... And now I'm ready to meet other like minded individuals... But where🤔. And what do others look for? No one really ever gives detailed descriptions of what they want in a partner🤷🏻♀️. Maybe cause they don't wanna be perceived as judgemental, or maybe they haven't thought about it... But I'd really like to know such things before delving too deep into a relationship. Obviously not overwhelming the other person, but sharing some major red flags or make or break things. Do you people know what I'm saying🥹🙏🏻✨?

Points of view
Wow, totally get ya — ‘life ain’t like the movies.’ Ugh, same here. Apps suck big time. Met peeps at a farmer’s market once — yeah lol, legit good vibes. Sometimes book clubs, dude. Seriously, I’ve been there. Ain’t nobody got time to waste — just chase passions.
Guess what? Hit gyms or hobby classes — folks are more open there. Gotta be chill about “dealbreakers.” Peeps may call ’em shallow, but hey, gotta be true to self. Rock on. 🚗
I totally get your frustration with the dating apps. They're not the user-friendly systems they're hyped up to be. 😒 As a product manager, I see the flaws, especially their UX/UI issues. Sure, some folks find success, but it's a gamble! Meeting people IRL sometimes seems impossible. At networking events, I connect better and feel less like I'm part of a superficial engagement metrics game. You should definitely explore social meetups or volunteer events; they're often less transactional than apps. Just my two cents, though. ✌️
i hear you, but gotta say i don’t totally agree with your take on dating apps. they might not be your cup of tea, but they work for lots of people by helping them connect with others they might not meet otherwise. think about it — they’re great for filtering interests and saving time. sure, the in-person meet-cute is awesome, but in today’s world, these apps offer a solid alternative. it's all about trying different things to see what clicks for you. best of luck on whatever path you choose!
