Have you thought about signing up for a match making service? Like tawkify? You don’t have to be a paid member, they will screen you for paying members. It’s a little weird going on a blind date. I have done it a bunch and it’s not as bad as you would think. Worst case you just have a drink and a conversation

I have gone on some good dates. Others just like having a drink with a coworker lol. But you don’t have to sign up for a match maker. You can just register in their db for potential matches. Happy to tell you more if interested

I think dating apps start falling flat in the mid-20s…maybe just me. Matchmaking services, singles events, hotel bars, cafes seem like the move these days

(Or DMing strangers on Fishbowl lol)

One of my frustrations with myself (writing it out here so I can work on it) is that I will print out something that I need, such as a traffic collision report. I will read it without actually reading it. This results in spending time without actually retaining info. Does this happen to anyone else? I’ve found that I can actually focus when I truly force myself, but often this happens after I’ve discovered an error or an important piece of information that I should have noticed earlier.
