Real talk though: the whole process fucking sucks.
People want to find someone, but there are bullshit societal conventions, it takes a shit load of courage and rejection, don’t want to make anyone else uncomfortable/feel harassed; and how do you even find a good match? If anything happens to my marriage, then I have no interest in jumping into this process. A friend has been going through this for years including a bad breakup recently after a short relationship… I got nothing to offer to make it better 🤷♂️
Edit: even worse when you meet someone who is good at this process. “Just act natural, take it easy. It’s about body language. You get a feel for who is interested and it’s just about being confident”… Ok, black magic, gotcha.
