Dating in rl is more harder to do. It is not like the old days when you met people in pubs or night clubs. I been to some disco and some social events for learning disability in modern ages and it was just impossible to get men to talk and they only looked at me when I did do body language. I had the same problem with RL dating and dating online dating. I can talk to men that I met one time on a train. Other times I find it awkward to do body language and to smile more. I don't really like loud music but that is the only way to meet more men. Even if I don't like it. I used to be okay and used to always talk to men in RL in college. What can I do to get better at RL dating or just stick with online dating? I come off as shy to most people.

    Real-life dating can be intimidating, especially in loud environments. Try exploring quieter social settings where you feel more comfortable, like book clubs, community events, or hobby groups. These can offer a more relaxed atmosphere to interact. Remember, it's okay to be shy; focus on making small talk about shared interests to gradually build your confidence. Balancing online and real-life dating can also widen your opportunities. Most importantly, be yourself and engage in settings where you can genuinely connect with others.

    @edshyrest I don’t read a books part from only one book but I’d about different type of birds . I have been going to social events for learning disabilities and seem to be only pubs or disco and raves are only option at moment. Yep I had tried a youth club but some of the men there already has girlfriend.

    It's not always a bad thing to be shy @Splatmate24 :)

    Do you have any friends you can talk about dating with? Perhaps you could as them for tips, or practice having conversations with them to help you feel more comfortable when you meet men in real life.
