In an article I read here https://flowingdata.com/2019/03/13/how-people-meet-their-partners/

Couples are around 2.5x more likely to meet through a friend than online. And as I think a lot of us know, making friends as an adult is hard, especially for homebodies. So we take to the internet in search of love only to be met with an onslaught of bots, scammers and the like. So why don't those of us that are human take to making friends of the opposite gender? Because even though someone may not be for you, they may know someone who is! I stand by there being someone for everyone simply because there are too many of us for that not to be the case.

So by just increasing the amount of people you know and can get along with, you can increase the amount of people you come in contact with giving you more of a chance to find someone you click with. If you're a weirdo like me and you'd rather take a nap with your dogs than go out to a bar, you pretty much have to find a way in increase your acquaintance network.

So instead of just trying to get in someone's pants right of the bat (which is fine if that's all you're after I guess) Why dont we get to know each other? Maybe you're a jerk but you remind me of someone I know who is also single that would eat that up. Anyway just trying to bounce ideas off you guys. ️
