Word salad below
So, I believe that I’m in a position to have an active social/dating life that is not on the internet. The one thing that’s plaguing me right now is what to do when I get hit with the, “I’m busy”, “I have no time”, “I have work” etc. In the past, people have mostly done that to me when I wanted to spend time with them. I.e the girl I mentioned back when I first got on this forum. I noticed that they do this with no other person at all. My goal for now is get into dating before sometime next year aside from me getting a car and living with roommate which was originally going to be me living in a place on my own.
This time I’m in a different setting, I’m working in a warehouse and not in high school anymore, with people who are around my age or slightly older mostly. Some of them are taking classes and have other obligations and what not. However, I plan on asking someone to hang out with me when I’m a little more familiar with them. I’m aiming to spend time with someone at most every other week. Let me know if that order is a little tall.
As far as dating goes, I’m no longer searching for a long term relationship at the moment with a male or female. I have many plans a goals in mind and it will not be a good idea to engage one nor will it last. At this point in time, I’m just looking for something casual and short term or no strings attached (NSA). Although I am still open for something long term. I am going to have to mention that at some point. I am currently doing online dating as well. I tried tinder and I got now responses at all, most because I didn’t have as many good photos of me. The other is OkCupid, I got some views on my profile and sent some messages, with no response, and some people have even like my profile which I can see who because pay wall.
I’m looking for something offline stuff as well. That’s where I’m going to have some trouble in. I’m in an unfamiliar area for the job I have now. I just want some pointers on how to go about that. Like where do I go and what venues would have mostly single women or men and how to avoid getting a number that does not every work? So all in all, how should I respond to people who say they're "busy" and/or won't set a different time for us? Thanks for reading!!
TL;DR I'm getting where I want to go in my life and I thnk I'm ready for a social/dating life.
