๐ thank you for making this comment so I didn't have to.
Any groups or anything near where you are? Usually people make clubs or anything, even if it's something you hate you'll usually find it fun if there are good people there. Also just going to a park (if there is one) and reading, you can find some cool people who want to chat.
As for dating coworkers, you know your situation better than me, but most people won't care that much if you just say hey this coffee shop is pretty good if you want to go, gives them an easy out (I'm busy) and doesn't put too much out there.
Thanks! I sometimes end up a little verbose but its nice that my inclination to ramble about this stuff is appreciated!
There are groups I'm already a part of, they don't meet that often though and in both groups I go to they're kind of not fertile ground for dating. I probably just need to expand a bit but there is a mental barrier to going somewhere new and worrying about being the newbie. New habits are hard to form.
The situation at my work place is messy for a number of reasons. Its a very small non-profit and there is even some ambiguity over if one woman I'm into and whether she is a "boss" or just an assistant to the real boss. Obviously if she has any real authority trying to date her is a massive no no but its not explicitly clear. And I mean, that's kind of frustrating just on the work side of things too if I'm honest.
Hey I'm in pretty much the same boat so here's hoping for both of us ๐ sometimes you just gotta pick a day and go do it I guess :<
I actually met some pretty cool people in a language class I took after college, don't know if there are any near you but class environments are generally pretty low stress.
Ah I gotcha that's a bit rough lol, maybe if you are able to find some cool people, it'll get you used to it so you'll be able to talk more easily with the boss-not-boss xp
