[quote=Anonymous]I can identify in a lot of ways, OP, but I remember a Youtuber, Shallon Lester (I highly recommend for hilarity and helpful advice) said the only women she knew who remained single, actively chose to be single. That made me realize I had been "dating" extremely passively: waiting for a man to randomly see me and ask me out, trying online dating for just a few months, etc.

I then decided to view dating as a hobby- something I was committing to and investing my time and effort. I learned how to do my hair and make-up, how to dress for a date, and I changed my mindset. Going on a date would not be this big, momentous occasion where I might meet "The One"; it would be a fun way to explore new neighborhoods/bars/restaurants and to practice and improve my dating skills. Suddenly there wasn't any pressure, and I knew that if I went on a terrible date then I would have a great story to tell friends. I made a lot of mistakes early on during fledgling relationships, but I learned so much from them so that I did better later.

This is not an ideal time to date, but I definitely don't think it's time to give up. [/quote]
