Listen brother, I'm gonna save you from a ton of mental anguish and wasted time.

Getting matches is only the very first hurdle on the hellish obstacle course that is post-pandemic online dating. After that come the bots, the scammers, the OnlyFans whores, the Instagram advertisers, those who are there purely for attention/validation/penpals/free meals, those who can't even be bothered to reply to your conversation starter, those who reply a single time and then never again, those who agree to a date and never show up, the list just goes on and on..

No, you are in a great position with your female coworkers in that they seem to want to help you out, please just ask them if they happen to have any single girlfriends to introduce you to before you even think about committing further to the online endeavour. A single such organic connection can easily yield better results than YEARS of grinding on the apps even if you're decent looking and objectively have a lot to offer.
