Before I begin, this is all theory. We're in a global pandemic. I'm wondering for after things become cleaner.
Anyways, I stumbled across this interview with a dating coach that seemed interesting. I do a search on him, and he shows up in /r/cringe. Watching the clips. I don't disagree. Every comment is decrying don't do this. Pickup is weird and annoying.
It seems like online dating is the way you're supposed to do things; however, it's brutal and doesn't seem worth it. Matches are rare. The matches that do occur don't respond. I've had my most success with online dating; however, even with that I've only had four dates over the course of a year and a half.
Another theory I've heard is hobbies with a lot of social interaction. I got into an improv scene, and it was amazing for my social life. I'm in a community. I've met plenty of friends. My closest friends through quarantine have been from this. This, however, hasn't really done anything for my dating life. I met three single women through this and got one date. I actually met plenty of amazing women this way, they were all just married or in relationships.
So, I guess where am I supposed to actually go? What am I supposed to actually do if I want to meet women offline (after the pandemic) if online dating is ineffective and approaching women in public is considered distasteful and ineffective?
...is it bars and clubs? I've heard that's a stereotype. I've never been to a club, so I don't know what that life is really like. I would go to bars with comedy shows or music shows but haven't really made a direct effort to interact with strangers, so that's probably the answer. Make an effort at those.
I feel lost and am curious what does everyone else does. People in relationships or who lead a successful dating life, what do you do?
