Wanting to get into a relationship, where do I start?

I'm 22 and relationships have been something that have completely escaped me so far. As a concept it's something so completely out of my league that I'm not even quite sure how they work or where to begin even looking for one. So if I want to finally get into a relationship, what exactly do I even do, as it's something I have completely no experience with at all, so I wouldn't even know where to start.

Just finished my undergrad, now going onto doing a masters in September, however it's fully online. I also do work, but I'm self-employed.

First of all, you should find someone in your league. Then, try to be friends with him/her and make sure to know him/her well before proposing to him/her. But even before you go through that phase, give yourself enough room to think whether you're ready to take the shot or not. If you think you're ready, jump there. And you know the rest and what you need to do.

Hope it helps! 😊 Good luck! 🤞🏻

One thing at a time, how do I even find someone, or become friends with them?

u will find ur answer by answering mine
I guess the first thing would be to think how you're going to meet people. It could be online via eg tinder, it could be in person at eg a bar or club, or it could be via a shared interest group either online or in person (gaming, sports, music, etc). It really depends what you're into and the type of person you want to meet.

Look around yourself. You might find him/her. First, you can do what I told you in the previous post. So, try to figure out who's the right person and afterwards you can be a friend of him/her. Later on, others.

No I don't really go anywhere where there's others. Most I do with my time is either work, play games, or just go on walks to my local park alone.
