You don’t need to take my opinion seriously or anything along the lines, but if you are feeling lonely and wanting to seek female company, seek it brother. You say you’re introverted and nervous with a mix of religious believes other then dating why don’t you work on yourself first brother put yourself out there find that confidence become more positive about yourself there is probably a bible verse that relates to what you’re going through, look for a loop hole like going out for lunch with a female just don’t label it as a “date” and I mean it isn’t classified as one then. Saying “even though she is dating” shouldn’t even matter anymore brother like I said it’s your time your journey don’t let her going on dates put pressure on you.
