To never meet men?

I'm probably just not looking hard enough.
I work in an office where there are a lot of men, there are two who I think are cute but neither are single. The last one who was single and who I was interested in claimed he 'doesn't date in the office ' (yeah whatever) another guy I seem to have a spark with but he's far too young sadly.

People suggest Parkrun, I go there and I never seem to see men on their own there, or if they are they don't exactly seem approachable.

I'm 32. I don't drink and sadly don't really have a big group I can go out with. I do have friends but it's more individuals as such. Also without sounding rude, I don't want to go to an event where there are a ton of thirsty men there who are just desperate.

Feel a bit down, I just find it so hard to meet anyone who's attractive to me, available and kind.

I've never had much luck with online apps for some reason, and I know people will say keep trying, I am done with sifting through thousands of grim, sleazy men to potentially find one decent one.

I just worry it's too late now. It would've probably been easier when I was at uni, though statistically most people are unlikely to stay with the people they meet in their early 20s.

I am not super picky either, I don't necessarily go for the most incredible-looking men who earn 6 figures and own a mansion or anything ridiculous. I just want someone I'm attracted to, stuff in common with, we can laugh together, honest and decent and more importantly somebody who's a friend.

You don't drink? But you where so drunk on your other thread today you had a one night stand?

But you haven't said what you do like to do, apart from work?

What do you do that you enjoy?

I’m glad you raised this because I thought I had mixed two people up, but I haven’t.

Almost everyone I know with a partner in your age group met online or at work. I think you need to keep going with the apps!

Don't drink ? 🤔

A lot of people don't date in the workplace.

But given your other thread reveals you going to a colleague's house party, getting drunk, and shagging their housemate in one of the rooms, I'd suggest you reassess your outlook.
