2 Dating 2 Relationships Thread II: The Squeakquel NSFW • Page 223

it’s fuckin rough out here man. trying to emotionally disconnect from my previous relationship while simultaneously finding the online dating game exhausting and not even remotely worth my time. there has to be a better way, and from what I hear from my women friends, many of them would much rather have a man approach them IRL than use an app. Problem is, where tf am I supposed to be approaching these women?? My coworker suggested shitty dive bars in the part of the city I live in but my days off are Monday and Tuesday and the last time I went to one of those places on a Monday night there was hardly any sort of crowd to speak of, let alone one teeming with single women. Sucks working every single weekend and being the age where I’m too tired after work to actually go do anything.

 

Im right there with you. On almost every point you hit. In fact on Wednesday I did something I haven’t done in over 20 years and approached a woman and tried to start a conversation with the intention of getting to know them. Me and my brother had some drinks at a shitty dive bar and there was this group of friends that were like the only people there really. Nobody seemed to be “together” and it was a mix of women and men, some non heterosexual. It was outdoor and hot af and one of them had a water gun. So this girl turns around and pretends like she’s gonna shoot me so I say go ahead. We had a laugh of it. I didn’t want to approach her group but at the end of the night she was the only there. So I figured I’d try to introduce myself and the first thing out of her mouth was “well that’s a lame way to start a conversation” with such attitude. And my brother offered to buy her a shot and she was like “what am I 16?” And just started arguing. So I just excused myself from the situation and said to myself well maybe I am not ready for this.
