I just try to get out and about when I can. Mainly I am just focusing on going out with friends and doing things I enjoy. Tried the dating apps a few times, and not a lot of great stories for me personally, but have had some friends that are in great relationships now from using them.

Ngl I hit up an old flame from college. She was a good girl I was just immature. We did long distance for a while & ended up moving in together so it ended up working out.

I try to go out on weekends with some friends and meet people, sometimes I'd rather just sit at home on my couch but it's important to put yourself out there when you can. I also try to use dating apps like Hinge or Bumble and have gone a few dates that went really well.

Just try to socialize, in whatever context. Go to parties, hang out with friends, get involved with activities outside work. Doing pro bono or charity work is a good way to meet people (it's happened for me, so I know). Right now there are political campaigns looking for volunteers, that's always a fun way to meet people.

join a club for a hobby that you really like, meet people whether that's organically or thru dating apps. i'm very much a "for the plot" kind of person so i'll go on a date just for that reason and 9 out of 10 times, it's a good or outright funny experience that i love recounting to friends

Random confession: My husband has been in the US for 5 yrs & currently on his second consulting firm working as a Java Software Engineer. English is his second language and I am always amazed at how he conducts himself during meetings when he has to explain his technical work. Consulting can be hard and mentally draining at times. I’ve always been my own worst critic but watching him work from home during the pandemic has given me the motivation to always try my best and give myself grace.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
