The advice I do hereby bestow upon thee comes as a question that I pose: Is it worth it, to sacrifice thine promised wizardry powers, powers these shunned by most, and yet, precious to those who learn to cherish it, when they loom so close to thine reality?

You stand close... close to the cusp. Thinketh carefully.

Ask your parents for a boyfriend.

Not worth it, OP. Dating is all drama and bs. Work, save money, work out, enjoy your hobbies, go to church, etc. You know the rest.

Never use dating apps. They're trash.

But what else if there if you do not have friends or hobbies?

>>34439732
Well then, you should stop focusing on dating so much and start getting some hobbies and friends then.

That will cause OP harm, not help him.

>What advice would you give to me, a total newb?
Be clear on what you are looking for. Be honest. Learn to listen. Don't interject your ideas into others' stories/lives/problems. Don't pretend to be something you aren't. Unless you are a raging asshole, in which case you should fix that before you inflict yourself on others.

Brutal, just brutal man

I have a bunch of friends who've met people through dating apps recently. I suspect your problem is that you are a raging asshole and aren't honest in your profile. Both of which are a you problem. Though dating apps tend to encourage dishonesty.

>What advice would you give to me, a total newb?
going to give advice since no one else is. I would say your first priority when it comes to dating should be this, get exposure. what I mean by this is dont make it your first goal to focus on trying to find one person to lock in on and start a relationship with, nor am I saying go out and hookup with as many people as possible. Simply your goal is to go out on simple dates with the goal of just spending time with someone new. If it goes farther than that cool, but dont get upset if you get ghosted its just part of the experience. To get max exposure do this:

>get on the most active dating app in your area. it could be tinder, bumble, hinge, who knows
>just state that you are interested in meeting new people and open to more if it goes that way
>outside of apps, try to get into a hobby outside of the house where you meet and interact with people
>could be a sport, could be a singles meetup for drink event at a bar

key thing is just get out there. the more people you meet the more opportunities you have and the more you experience you gain.
