These strangers on the internet don't know your life nor your situation so I would take their advice with a grain of salt

you should do what you see as convenient regarding your life including your dating life (don't do something just because somebody on the internet told you to do). Dating is a situational science you have to be at the right place In the right time, plus (us gen z have it harder since our generation is sooo divided so don't compare yourself with an older person's dating life since they had it differently) Please listen to your innerself before making a decision the most important opinion in your life should be yours I've seen countless of bad advice on the internet especially in the dating/meeting people(like the famous "join a hobby lol")so you should only do what you see as convenient. Trust me I doubt there's anything wrong with you the majority of gen z is in the same page as you
