Is it weird that I’m happier with less friends and not going on dates?

I don’t know if this is just a phase I’m in or if I’m really changing, but I’m becoming more anti-social and I’m fed up with dating.

Less friends:

I stopped going to church 3 months ago and my mental health has improved drastically. I’ve gone from having like 20 friends down to 5 and I’m content. 4 of my 5 friends are college buddies that happen to live in the same city now and 1 is a guy I occasionally play basketball with.

Quit dating:

I’ve had a rough time dating. This year alone I’ve had 2 situationships, 4 talking phases, and dozens of matches on apps that lead to nothing. I even changed it up and tried speed dating, but barely any women show up to these events. So I just quit trying all together a couple weeks ago. I’ve been in the gym and focused on me. I’m a lot happier. People say that I should keep trying, but I don’t want to.

Is this a funk that l’ll break out of or are others mentally checking out of and leaving church, large friend groups, and dating behind?
