Dating? What's that? If it wasn't for the internet I'd have no love life.
Edit: that said, I didn't have one anyway before coming out, so.

I was in 7th grade, a few days after my birthday I got a message from a girl wishing me a "late happy birthday" and started flirting with me. She was a friend of a friend. I liked her back and we hit it off, but as soon as we met we didn't have anything to talk about. That continued for every other meetup. I didn't wanna rush into a relationship without knowing if we can even communicate normally. She didn't understand and was pushing me into a relationship (like asking every single day), that bugged me off, so I ended communication. I think her friends hate me now.
Finding someone who actually likes you is hard.

the last relationship i was in was 2 years ago. I haven't been able to go on a date since then and i can't stop thinking about that dude. I've tried dates since then, maybe had 2 but they didn't lead to anything at all. I kinda just gave up on trying and am focused on money and my career, no time for heartbreaks or bullshit.
doesn't stop me from feeling lonely af tho.

I actively try to not think about dating. I have to not think about it, for my own sake.
Thankfully, there's no pressure for me to think about it, so I almost never do.
I'm a sex-repulsed asexual, and it's impossible to find any positivity about people like me dating. It's always "we had to open our relationship to make it work" or something.
Asexual-centered spaces are no good for this either. In fact, they're the worst environments you could ever ask for. They're all 25% people talking about sex, 25% echo chambers of hopelessness and self-loathing, 25% "some asexuals have sex," and 25% "please help me break up with my asexual partner I'm so miserable."
Sorry for the negativity. u_u I've never seen anyone else talk about this, though. Maybe it'll help someone feel less alone. *shrug*

I guess I have never tried it.
I don't really think I'm mature enough to be dating anyone anyways right now, despite the fact that I am 22. I dunno, I'm a little childish and clingy to the past so it's would probably be a drag to date me right now.
I think I should grow up mentally a little before I go for it. Actually have a home of my own or something first.

If you're having trouble finding someone to start a relationship with or at least go on a date with, why not try different dating sites? I've heard good reviews on russian brides dating website, and there are many other websites, including for lgbtk+ people. I'm sure you'll be able to meet someone now without too much trouble.
