I've only ever been in one relationship which was a serious one, but despite that it was on and off for 6 years. My first relationship begun very organically with us being legitimate friends and then falling in love later on. I hate dating, because it feels very inorganic, and on the blue moon when a man shows interest in me, he is very creepy/desperate and I end up having to block. I'm very bad at meeting people and even my friendship circle is very small. I don't get out much at all, and I really don't know how to meet people in general. I am very reserved and quiet at first when I meet someone and then open up later on; this is just who I am. I'm too high strung for a lot of men my age, and people rarely show interest in me. I have been told I am intimidating(this is not on purpose)and I know that makes me hard to approach. I've tried tinder and bumble, with no significant luck. I know what kind of person I would like to be with, but it seems like he doesn't exist. I don't feel like I'm unattractive by any means, but I know I'm a particular flavor. I have been single for well over a year now, and I just wish I could meet someone. How should I go about meeting someone with these factors in mind?
