I don’t know Dan I have met people but have not had a date. I guess when I’m ready God will provide. Meanwhile I am just hanging on for the ride. They say anything you put before your program will be the first thing you lose.
Great question!
I know that feeling also,I will have 25 years on February 28 and I am finding it really hard to date,I have tried online dating and all I find is women asking me for money

Honestly, it was rough at first, but once you start owning your recovery and truly love yourself it’s been almost easier to go on dates than when I was drinking.
I can’t speak for anyone else, especially women, but you’d be surprised at how many people find doing something out of the ordinary more fun and memorable than drinks at a bar.
My go-to: I suggest bowling, an art museum (I’m a member of the Whitney so free admission) or exploring a new park if the weather cooperates. In my experience not drinking is a green flag not a red one and going on a fun, different first date is refreshing for everyone sick of the usual cocktails and small talk . And when it comes to opening up, I simply say living clean is a lifestyle choice that allows me to be my best self. It’s technically true, doesn’t carry the stigma of addiction, and again is a green flag.
Most importantly: don’t force it. Companionship that comes out of desperation never works out. You’ll be surprised at where and when and how you meet someone who could become a long-term partner!

Just put yourself in social situations. It’s a numbers game. Don’t ask 1 person out, ask 20. Don’t take rejection personally; it’s more about them and their standards than you. Look around you. If you really want a partner or spouse, it’s not a difficult task!

I am meet people online
I haven't been single since before i joined Loosid (so i haven't tried this). I saw they have a dating tab in the app. Is that a thing?
I’ve been going to AA classes every day for the past two weeks and I have met a lot of like minded people and actually went out on a good date two nights ago. I meet people at the gym.
