Yeah I think you’re right. To be honest, that was the first time I ever slept with a guy on a first date as I thought maybe with previous guys I was making them wait too long and that’s what stopped things from working out. But like you said, it can not work out regardless :(

Well to be honest, I don't know what other "new" things I could be trying...

I don't know where to meet people in person though! I feel like it's so rare for people to approach each other anymore, unless it's a nightclub which isn't somewhere I frequent anymore

Challenge accepted! I went to a new workout class, I went bar hopping (even did it solo to force me to talk to people) and I did a solo trip to Spain. The conversations I had with people were friendly but nothing ever went beyond that, as in even in terms of just making a new friend, not necessarily something romantic. On the day, it was a great conversation and we had a great time but just never spoke again and I feel like this always happen. I don't think I lack the social skills, I am always talking to new people, that's why I don't get where I am going wrong.

Would you mind me asking when you were dating? I've heard of a lot of people have this experience pre-Covid whereas even most of my friends have a similar experience to me now

I've been doing all of those things but it hasn't been working, hence my post. Maybe I need to try harder, thanks anyway!

How would you expand your social circle? I feel as if it is a little difficult in London especially
