I (M36) was in a relationship basically my entire adult life, having not really dated before that either.

I’m not the most socially active person, I don’t feel very appealing on account of just the sheer lack of response in dating sites, and I absolutely do not want to be a sitcom still horn dog. I would die if I ever made anyone feel like I was some kind of creep or predator, or even uncomfortable really.

How do I meet people? How do I approach them especially? Women, would you rather some random jerk try to talk to you at a gym or a bookstore?

I am currently pretty down about things, but trying my best to stay positive. I feel like I have a lot to offer, it’s just harder getting there, you know? Back end worth, I guess?
