The having no expectations with women - I've basically done that all my life lol. But that was out of insecurities and low self-worth. I can definitely have friendly chats with women and that's never been a huge issue. But, the advice is on point. I need to get out there and just be more social when the opportunity arises.

I've not been on FB for a long time, but I'll see what I can find on singles groups. There used to be Meetups, but that app is no longer available. I'll have to do some digging.

good suggestions as well. we do have a city sports and fun activities groups and i need to see if they're back up now. you're right that being authentic is the key.

thanks for sharing that experience. i'll have to bring out some of my natural extroversion and see how that goes. I do have opportunities at the climbing gym, but i haven't been back since the pandemic. I can definitely start up convos there.
With all these excellent suggestions, I'm feeling pretty good about it
