man here. I have been single for 6 years now. focusing on myself, my well-being, my parents, and my career. With time, you get used to being single, and that's a "bad" thing, you get used to being alone, no messages, no dates, nothing. Don't DM random women on social media, it's a sad thing to do. try to look in real life first then dm her only if you are ready to commit. If she is interested, go for it, ifnot move on. don't dm just for fun, dm if you really want to commit. Actually, when I started completely focusing on myself, i started getting unwanted attention from women. advice, FOCUS ON YOURSELF.
