Other than that most of my hobbies are solitary, video games, reading, playing bass etc. I go to concerts sometimes too but rarely talk to people there.
I've tried both Tinder and OKcupid but it is very rare that anyone responds to my messages. Any advice?

Welcome to my world! Maybe we should become hair stylists?

Quite funny you say that mate LOL.

There a thread about a fella that gets called gay from EVERY woman that he turns down, I think in ^^^ workplace he could and would get called gay

He took an improv class at the local theater group. The best part is that he can now talk to anyone and he is hilarious and a lot of fun.

I did this too. It helped some, but not to this extent. Salsa classes are next...

There's no magic bullet. You have to take charge of your life and do some work to push past your inhibitions and comfort zone comfort.
Well, unless you have a relative who's good at setting people up. Tom Selleck, the actor generally considered to be a sex symbol in his earlier days, never could approach women. He said the only way he met a woman and got married was because friends set him up. Actor Wes Studi ("Geronimo"), met his (now ex-) wife in a theater improv class. That class led him to a highly successful film career, btw.

Good luck, OP.
