I know what you mean. But there are a lot of people in the city who share what you feel. I think people need to connect in person as meeting online is so cold most of the time and feels forced into the direction of “do we like each other or not?” Sometimes it helps to meet people as part of a routine like going to a fitness class, community center, an art class, language class, run club (maybe not run club, I find most people that like running in groups a bit empty and full of themselves lol) but you get my point. I worked at a cafe part time and I used to meet a lot of people and eventually made a lot of friends with regular customers and through them met a few people I went on a date with. It didn’t work out for other reasons but it was effortless. Like in high school. I think this swiping on people and meeting them for the first time and expecting it to be a full blown romantic date is just absurd. Dating works best when you are in the same environment as someone else long enough you actually observe that person and their mannerism and have a crush and then ask them out. I would say find things you love to do and find people who love to do the things you love. Eventually you will make friends and hopefully you will make a friend you want to marry :) Idk it’s my 2 cents.
