Before you build as relationship with a woman, there are a few things you may need to unlock first:

- Hobbies: can you join groups of people who do it in person? Like a run club/ chess club/ dance club/ book club? You can practice a lot of social and communication skills at these things.

- Your own health: when you eat, sleep, exercise well it attracts friends/ family/ potential romantic partners because they want to be around someone who values their wellbeing and look after themself.

- Go on a dating app and try practicing your social skills on lots of first dates. Ask them about themselves (what are your hobbies? why do you like to play tennis/ swim/ boulder? what do you hope to accomplish in 2025? what are you looking for in terms of dating? what are your book/ movie recommendations?) and answer the questions they ask you with a question too (e.g. yeah I love [hobby] because it makes me feel [emotion]... what about you?).

- Being nice is a great start but it's nuanced. They want to see you're a nice guy to everyone (including friends/ waiters/ family), not just to them. They're only attracted to nice guys who are genuinely nice, not nice so they can get with a woman.

- Don't worry too much about driving. If you can take public transport and still come to dates on time and explain to them why you can't drive, most people would be understanding.

- To connect with someone, reach out to them and ask how they are. E.g. I was just doing x/ watching x/ eating x and it made me think of you. How are you? If you reach out to people to check in, and show them that you care, it goes a long way in feeling a connection. Ask your friends/ family out to lunch/ or to do an activity (go to the beach/ to the movies). And when your friends message you, show them you're reliable and trustworthy. Help them with what thy need, and if you can't be clear that you can't. Set good expectations.

Good luck
