Hello SJay! I know the idea of getting back out there after being on your own for so long is challenging. I’m a introvert also and spent the last 6 years basically single. I would dip my toes in here and there but nothing ever got past a couple dates. I got very comfortable being single and independent, but miss that companionship also. There’s several online dating apps you could try for free (bumble, coffee meets bagel) or even some paid sites. Unfortunately with Covid going on and being an introvert, meeting someone online makes the most sense. I’d ask any friends or even family you have to help look into it and see their experiences. You’ll just need to jump into it and start chatting with people, then you can get a feel if they’re worth getting to know more. I know the status quo feels comfortable, but you posted the thoughts for a reason, so it’s something you still want. Don’t let the fear of the unknown stop you from exploring things further.
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
