Dating advice
26m, need some advice. I'm curious what approach to take. A general consensus between my friends is that I'm great at making friends, but horrid at initiating relationships which is where my question is. If I were to be bullshittin with you at the bar and you seem cool, would you rather I be straight up as in hey I think you're cool, I'm single and looking for something at the moment if you're free next week, or would you rather us hangout as friends a few times before I ask if you're available for a date? The last girlfriend I had was 6 years ago so I haven't had much experience dating being a bit older now. I haven't had much luck with dating apps so I don't use them but as far as shooting my shot goes I've asked maybe 4 or 5 people out the past year and all have been a negative.
