Ok so the 2 relationships I’ve been in have been friends I’ve met online, so I feel like I kindof “skipped” the dating phase, if that makes sense. And by dating I mean meeting people, approaching, asking someone out, etc, trying to find someone to be your long term partner.

Ohh I see. Well if you want better “dating experiences” I’d say just be more social with people who are near by. Like maybe dating apps for near by people or go to places and find people to talk to. Online dating isn’t always the best option so going out and actually being with people irl is definitely the way to go in getting more dating experience

I guess what I struggle with is knowing when an appropriate time / place to approach / flirt with someone is. I feel like flirting isn’t real I just kindof go around and try to have good vibes. I find it hard to know when is appropriate to say something I guess

Me personally im the type of girl to need to be friends with a man first before dating I can’t just jump into the talking stage and dating. That’s how me and my bf met we became friends through a mutual and ended up developing feelings from there. So I think just going to a club maybe or when meeting people just stay friendly and make it a goal to be just friends and maybe it’ll develop into dating in the future if you just let it be friends a while before doing anything

My philosophy is kindof like this currently, a sort of “have good vibes and let people come if they want”, and I think I would also need to be friends first really. But I feel like I can be more active in doing that. There have been a couple times though where I’ve been friends with someone but didn’t want to risk the friendship by maybe stating my feelings. Or the opposite, come across like I only like someone romantically and not as a friend. Ig that’s situational. I love all ur advice 🫶
