Giving up dating!

So OLD is not working out for me, my company is too small to meet anyone, none of my friends have single friends and eyes meeting over a crowded bar doesn't happen.
I'm running out of options to meet someone...what am I missing?

Didn't want to read and run.
OLD is hard. Unless you can go out to some hobby groups then this tends to be the way people meet.
How long have you been trying for, have you had matches, dates?

Are you trying any hobby groups and what's going on with OLD? Are you being honest with yourself about what you want and whether you're likely to have things in common with the people you're going for?

I felt like this so I definitely understand but met DP eventually.

OLD probably exposes you to the most people with the least investment as it can take time to get involved in a walking club etc, not to say both aren't worthwhile but if you want to meet someone i wouldn't abandon OLD just yet, just have a careful think about how you're going ab or it it and take regular breaks.

Unless you are attractive, your options in meeting people through OLD become much more limited.

That’s just the way it is with these platforms.

OP, try looking up the dating expert Logan Ury on YouTube. I’ve been watching her stuff and she has some new and interesting takes on saying that may help.

Dating, not saying 🙄
