therewasnoreply Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm 24, male, shy, artist. looking for people with those same kinda qualities. but there are precious, precious few people around my area with the same interests as me. looking online, I do find plenty, but they're all hundreds of miles away. And especially on sites like OKC, the tide of competition and harassment only makes establishing a consistent line of communication that much harder, as I assume the vast majority of girls are looking for people in close proximity anyway and have zero interest or motivation to even talk to anyone who isn't within 50 miles. (this is my experience so far anyways) honestly, what the hell do I do? Is this one of those things where I'm SOL until I get out of school and move to a more populated area? irregardless of advice I'm going to be persistent in my search, just hoping there's some kind of advice or place to look for people like me* to raise my chances of finding people either willing to travel for dating, or allow some kind of online only relationship. I've been successful in this before, by sheer luck and I wasn't really looking for it, I'd just asked out a girl who I'd been friends with for years online and we hooked up over a REALLY long distance. But that's a VERY time consuming process only to find out when we meet in person there isn't any REAL romantic chemistry. just. I dunno. any thoughts at all? *besides the usual suspects of Deviantart and others, I'm already a member of most of them Link to post Share on other sites
Lobouspo Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Keep plugging away, searching . Having said that, moving from your current locale eventually might be your best bet to expand the dating pool. IME, starting an LDR online is not the ideal situation, and it sounds like you've already experienced some of those pitfalls. Remember it only takes one though, billions of people, numerous interactions . Good luck on finding love!! Link to post Share on other sites
Beach Guy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Maybe get out and do your art creation, like painting?, in public (inside if too cold outside), perhaps in a mall food court or public library lobby. You'll get lots of looks and maybe some passing compliments, and just might connect with others with a similar passion. Link to post Share on other sites
