Put yourself out there, try Meetup in groups that interest you, try online dating, look for new opportunities.
You will regret it when you are old and all alone.
There are no groups where I live, sans gang meet ups and drunks. lol I may meet someone when I move, which I plan to--move. Moving where nobody knows you and you can just start fresh is a big help. I live in a small rural area. There's nothing here. But the place I plan to move to is much better and bigger. Then I can just cast my line, and rejection won't be so bad when it's from guys I may never see again. As opposed to rejection of guys in school that I had classes with, and I was stuck around.
Just a little over 4 months, although two months ago I started dating again.
I'm not sure if I want to get in a relationship already just yet. I have met some really nice men where it just couldn't work, some not-so-nice guys who were just annoying, some guys who I knew couldn't be anything more than just FWB/FBs. I recently met a man who seems pretty nice and we have a good connection, but I'm not sure where it's going to go.
I know you didn't ask for all that detail but there it is.

At this point, I really don't give a . The one year of my life where I tried to date just brought frustration and heartache. I just don't want to be bothered anymore.

Nema, not everyone feels the need to be in a relationship or find someone you know.

Dating is a normal part of life that intimidates a lot of people, for many different reasons.
Those that choose not to participate must be prepared to live with the consequences.

It just is what it is!
Very true. If I recall correctly that poster (and forgive me if I'm wrong) found dating to be artificial and forced. Nothing could be, or should be, further from the truth. It is just spending time with someone you find attractive, or potentially attractive, doing fun things and getting to know each other. Nothing more. It is, when approached with the correct mindset, the most enjoyable thing in the world.

That wasn't me. However I find dating to be an incredible hassle and a power struggle. It feels like a job interview that ends even worse than getting passed over for a job.

Ok, sorry about that. I've had some bad dates that felt like interviews, but I wouldn't want a repeat of those. They're jobs I'd turn down. The good dates are like hanging out with a new friend with kissing Those, I like.
