Just Put Yourself Out There

I made a joke about the lack of dating I’ve experienced this year and it was followed up with someone saying that I need to put myself out there. Where is “out there” anyway? No one knows. We had a good laugh about it which is better than the alternative, I must say.

So where should one position themselves for optimal dating potential? Lots of people would say the grocery store. That’s sort of a classic answer but I don’t really believe women want to be hit on in the grocery store. How about church? Again, that’s a hard no. In the gym. OK, we all know that’s a terrible idea. So I’m left with women in the car next to me on the road! “How did you meet?” They’ll ask. “Well, I was stuck and traffic and he held up a sign that asked, ‘Want to carpool next time?'”

Yeah, that’s not creepy at all. 🤪

So I’ll say it again, like I’ve said before: If you’re married, try with all your might to stay married because dating is one of the least fun experiences people can have in 2025. I’ve only had 2 first-dates all year and both women almost immediately went back to an ex. Good for them. Bad for me.

What’s a guy gotta do to get a girl in this town? The answer is rather elusive, I’m afraid.
