• Don’t let selection bias put you off. These stories are filtered by “worst date” and then you’ll basically only read the top ten over the top versions of those.

    I guess most dates are around “fine” to “meh” and not traumatizing.

      Is just too much to handle and if it ends bad feels like a death sentence

        You don’t go into it looking to find a loneliness cure, you go into it looking to make a new friend. Maybe that friend can be more, but maybe not. The worst case scenario is the same as not trying, a decent outcome is a new friend (which can lead to expanding your pool of datable people!), and maybe you find a partner along the way.

        I’ve been married for about a decade now, what I miss most about the dating scene is all the new friends I’d make and experiences I’d have.

          I honestly don’t want friends. I just don’t wanna socialise, is just too much for me, I want to be engaged with a single woman and maybe create a family in a far future. That’s it
