If Everyone's seeking someone, why are dating apps, reddit filled with lonely people??
I am 23M. Been in Bangalore for about an year for work. I ve had many conversations with my office peers, friends and all of them seem to have one common problem. They don't find or to put it in a better way, are struggling to get friends of opposite gender with or without the intention of dating. I myself too have had this problems and at times it irritates me. It's difficult to meet people or the idea of having a random conversation with a stranger is still seen as a superior effort in current scenario. I myself go to gym regularly for about 2 months and I haven't had any acquaintances or friends till date. Talked to few people but after a few days they act as if we've never spoken. I go to gym alone, workout and comeback. At times it gets frustrating, what special do I need to do to get this basic things. My office environment is good but severely lacks people of my age. I know it makes me seen as desperate but isn't having friends of the opposite gender a basic need in these times? I think we should have enough friends of opposite gender so that we just don't talk to them with the intention of dating. This scarcity of opposite gender friends have put a thought on my head that I won't get enough female friends, it's better I end up dating the one I ever find. I know it's wrong. I am at times severely bothered by the lack of female friends. I feel we should introduce people we know to our social circle not everytime, but often, for the benefit of acquaintances, networking... What's your thoughts people? How do u overcome this?
