How do i force myself to date?

I am 26M and i have never dated in my life. I have a full time job, car and an apartment. I have been living alone in since i was 18. Because of this, i have grown very accustomed to living alone and i am afraid i am not ready to be in a relationship. To be honest, i find the thought of dating frightning. I have my whole childhood been a introverted guy who prioritised hanging out with my usual friends and playing games online than socialising with different people and i am afraid i don't have what it takes to be "interesting" to a potential partner.

I forced myself to install Tinder today and i made an account. I have 5 "likes" already and now i feel obligated to swipe since even though my body says i am not ready, my mind has wanted a companion i can travel, hike and play games with for so long. I just have no confidence i can maintain a healthy relationship. If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

What is a good upgrade from the Audeze Maxwell?

Hi. I am looking for some new headphones (not headset) which can replace my gen 1 Audeze Maxwell. I am switching them out because it hurts with glasses on and they move a lot on my head. My top priority is sound, but comfort also. It can be both wired or wireless and both open or closed.

  • Budget and location - €600. I live in Norway.
  • Preferred tonal balance - I prefer punchy sounds with a good balance of bass and tremble and since i play a lot of open world games, soundstage is also quite important. I like that open feeling sound. I listen to lots of different music types, but mostly 90s rock and EDM.
  • How the gear will be used - At home only.
  • Past gear experience - I have had the HiFiMan Sundara, the quality on the headphones was very bad. I have had the Steelseries Nova Pro, i liked them, but the sound was very tame.

The Maxwells are the best sounding headset/phones i have heard so that is the "template" of what sound i like, i do like a bit more openness if possible.

Thanks!
