I've been single for about 6 years, last bf was in high-school, and now that I'm almost 26yo literally all my friends have a couple, they advised me to improve my appearance and "get out there" so I started using dating apps like Bumble or Boo. Tbh we all know those apps are full of men looking for casual encounters, but I want to meet new people and have new experiences.

So far, I have been using these apps for about 3 months and I haven't been able to meet a guy in person yet. Not bc I'm rejecting them, but simply bc no one is asking me out? I found a guy with excellent job, same age, he is actually into a very niche geek community I'm also a part of, and we clicked when we started talking, but the guy lost interest and he stopped replying to the conversation after a week. I felt like I was being too pushy and maybe looking desperate bc I was always the one initiating the conversations.

Last Friday I started talking to another guy, really handsome, he is very creative overall so we started talking from there. He really looked interested in knowing more about me, but last message was from almost 2 days ago and now that I'm reading the messages, I'm also the one always starting the topics. I feel like in order for a conversation to work, one should ask a question, then the other one follows, and so on, but in both times it has been a one-sided chat.

Is this normal with these apps, or am I just not pretty enough for them? Am I overthinking it too much? And how can I subtly ask for them to go out without sounding too desperate? I know the real connections are out there in person, but I work night shifts with little free time, so online interactions are my only way of socializing at the moment. I turned down an afternoon going out with my friends to go instead to an in-person activity during a Sunday (like a fast-blind date type of thing in a restaurant) and it was a complete failure, I didn't click with anyone.

Pensaría que la opción obvia es a la Municipalidad, pero pregunto ya que este caso es algo extraño. Yo vivo en una calle sin salida que no tiene portones de entrada ni nada por el estilo. Es una calle pública y hasta sale en Google Maps como transitable y como parte del mapa del barrio. Llevo viviendo aquí desde que la hicieron hace 25 años. Siempre la calle ha sido arreglada con concreto por algún vecino que decide ayudar, pero me parece que si es calle pública debería ser administrado por la Muni, o me equivoco?

El problema es que la última vez que se le hizo mantenimiento a esta calle fue en 2015, y justo el vecino del fondo maneja trailer y tiene taller, entonces en todos estos años la calle se ha llenado de huecos por el tráfico de carros y se está empozando por las lluvias. El mae no se quiere responsabilizar por pavimentar porque dice que la calle es de todos y sería mejor juntar plata entre todas las casas para que se haga el arreglo, pero creo que más bien le corresponde a otra entidad. Esto no es un residencial o condominio privado, porque si fuera calle privada ahí sí ya tocaría de parte de los dueños.

Alguno ha pasado por esto mismo? Cómo se inicia el proceso, solo envío una carta a la Muni o es al Mopt? Sorry es que nunca he hecho algo así jaja
