Best strategy for dating in uni holidays?
I've come out of a relationship of just under 5 months (I ended it). Now i'm back in the game. I forgot how **** dating apps were, where I met my ex. I'm a university student and its 50/50 in terms of girls i've met on dating apps and those who i met IRL. I'm home til like late september or early october and i don't really go out at home because all my friends are in different parts of the country. Downloaded hinge, tinder etc, don't really get many matches even though objectively speaking, I am a pretty attractive guy, and really tall. Was talking to a girl for a couple days and thought about meeting her but just woke up this morning to find she had unadded me on everything. I did try and make moves on a girl at my work, just asked for her socials after we'd been talking for a while, but she never added me back. What should I do? In terms of talking to girls on apps i'm not sure if i'm that interesting, a lot of girls say they want someone "funny" but I feel like if they're not really saying that much or not even asking me questions back what am I even supposed to say? A lot of the girls I am attracted to aren't actually attracted to me

There isn’t really a magic strategy. See if you can find someone like minded to go out with to looking around once a week. Do some volunteering or find a short term hobby where you’ll meet new people. See if friends and acquaintances can introduce you to someone. Learn from more successful friends. Unfortunately blow outs are very common, also as everyone goes after the most attractive girls so they are spoilt for choice. Keep at it and something with pop up.

Hard. You will need to go out alone. Maybe go in a festival etc, where you can meet people online with an objective of going together to the event. So you will not be alone and meet new people
