I (20)F have never had a boyfriend, talking stage, situation-ship, anything and I don’t know where to begin. I’m confident enough in my appearance to know I’m not “ugly” but I’m humble enough to know I won’t be on the cover of a magazine anytime soon. I just don’t know what to do or where to start. I get up everyday make myself presentable, keep my AirPods out, phone away, greet everyone with a smile, the works. I’m not an introvert but I’m also not an extrovert I’ve got a small tight knit group of friends who I adore (all girls with bf’s). I tried dating apps but I really don’t like how artificial it feels. I try to “put myself out there” but I also have no clue what that really means. If I see a guy I find attractive I try and position myself in his vicinity and just hope because I don’t know how to make the first move. My friends tell me my standards are too high which is probably true. (same religion, college educated, someone I’m attracted to). If they don’t check those boxes I write them off which is probably not helping my case, but I’m dating to find a life partner so if they don’t, I don’t want to waste their time or mine. Im just confused and feel like I’m doing everything wrong and any advice or guidance that’s not “it’ll happen when you least expect it!” Will be helpful.
