He does go to the gym regularly and I asked him if there are any nice looking girls there that he could strike up a conversation, but he told me,”That’s creepy mom!”
Yea, this is not considered appropriate. Most women are there to work out and do not appreciate advances in this context.

Its much healthier to date people around you, in person but social media is ruining that too.

Discord is basically a private message board service. Each server can be for unique purposes and the specific boards on the server are called channels.
With Discord, each server is private and invite only. I’m on a Montgomery County discord server where people locally may try to get together.
Discord also has DM capabilities to direct message people outside of the servers.

What it the world is discord? (I'm old, I guess). Like message boards?
It’s a chat room like AIM but you can make entire “servers” (think of it like a community space online) where many people in a community can access different chat rooms (channels) about different subjects. You can also private message people. There’s also a voice and video call function as well as a livestream function. It’s often used to talk to friends while playing games.
It’s a good way to keep up with a longer distance online relationship. Ultimately though relationships need to be in person to see if they work.

my, currently 28 yo, daughter is marrying in Sept.
She had never dated in HS or College, always very dedicated to her studies. She came back home to live after college. She whined about how to meet someone and asked me to set her up with someone as she trusts my judgement (lol, umm, hell no, I'd never hear the end of it). Whining turned to crying sometimes. Yes I worried for her being 30 yo and "never been kissed".
Then at 24 yo, She decided to go off to Law School 1/2 way across the country. She was always busy studying and always news of "no boys" when I asked...until...
In her last year at Law school she tried an online dating app specific to her religion (as that's important to her). I think she had a date or 2 before meeting her now fiance. They are perfect for eachother.
I'd have vehemently discouraged that. I don't want my kids marrying the first person they date! I want them to date at least a few people, and see what they like and don't like.
Why? If someone finds a good partner, they should just discard them and wait until they've experienced half a dozen broken relationships and then just go with that person? She is a 28 year old practicing lawyer, not a 17 year old high school girl. If experience is such a miracle, why couples with previous relationship and marriage experience break up?
She doesn't know what her options are. How does she know he's a good partner? She's never created the opportunity (by dating other guys) to compare him to any other partners. Experience teaches you about yourself, your values, your boundaries, your desires in a partner, etc.
Does it? I think 28 years on earth should be enough to know all that. Its roughly 15 years past puberty.
I met my husband 26 years ago in our first year of college. (We were at a dance and I said hi to a woman from a class and he knew her and also came over to say hi so she introduced us.) He was 17 and I was 19. He’d dated one person in high school. I’d gone on a few dates with a few people but had never had a boyfriend. I definitely didn’t expect to meet someone that young. But (I’ve said this before on this forum) I compare it to ice cream. If the first flavor I had was mint chip, so I give that up to try strawberry or cookie dough etc? It’s possible there’s a flavor I would like more, or possibly not. I don’t need to know that this is the very best possible as long as it makes me happy it seems like it could be the best possible.

it seems to me it is more like the old chat rooms, except you're actually chatting and not typing (but don't quote me)

It's called romance and somehow socially acceptable while parents introducing them to someone local for dating is seen as an attempt to arrange marriage.

Basically online foreign brides and grooms looking for American nationality who connect with idiots playing online video games.

My son (26) is soon-to-be engaged to his GF - they met during undergrad and started seriously dating while he was in grad school. They are well matched and have many shared interests. My other DC is dating in a big city in another part of the country. This DC has dated both through apps and friends. This way seems much trickier - although they have met many good people and gone on many dates, it seems harder to align values and location preferences post college.
