Dating Advice

Hey, I'm 28 and live in Blackpool, but struggling to get anywhere with dating.

​

I've got a pretty stable job, and been single a couple of years and only had fairly long term relationships in the past. I'm finding that I'm getting absolutely nowhere on the dating apps. I do prefer meeting people organically anyway but I've looked into clubs/groups etc but the options are pretty limited. Not particularly any options at work either.

​

I think possibly my biggest problem is confidence as I have a moderate level of social anxiety and am on the ASD spectrum. I'm willing to go outside my comfort zone though where I can and try new things. I have a decent circle of friends but many are LGBT+ and I'm very supportive of them (so much so I often get mistaken for being gay 🤣)

​

Any stories to share on what worked for you? Really appreciate any advice! Also happy to dm if anyone has tips, cheers!
