Search Results: where to meet guys

As of recently, my popularity has dwindled on the dating apps & I’m unsure of the exact cause. Is it my age? As I look the same & I haven’t moved yet things went downhill a few months ago. I mainly use hinge & noticed this drought on all the other apps too, which makes me even more worried considering it seems to be across all platforms. Because of this, I’ve also been second guessing my decision to brush off the guys that previously showed interest in me. At the time I was somewhat interested in a few but either I wasn’t in the mood/doubtful because of negative dating app experiences I dealt with at that time/was too anxious. I question if I genuinely feel regret because this is a delayed reaction or if I’m reminiscing/liking the idea of them since things aren’t going my way at the moment. How can someone be told they’re “attractive” yet quality guys NEVER show them interest in person? If I got attention from these guys from the apps in person, maybe I wouldn’t be as anxious.

29F & I’ve always had this type of deep rooted anxiety when it comes to relationships, I’ve always been a loner & not the friendliest I suppose, to the point where I’m currently content with online/gamer “friends”. There’s this part of me though, that struggles with knowing I’ll never find romantic love. I’m very sure I’m only romantically attracted to men but in a way, I question at times if I really want to be with one long term. Let’s start with: I’m not very affectionate, I don’t trust easily, I get turned off quickly by “innocent” cocky or conceited banter, I’m very antsy about intimacy & not crazy about sex/masturbation to begin with. These might all seem like cop outs because I truly feel the right person will change how I feel about all these “issues”. As a woman I don’t think it’s that rare to not really have much of a sex drive, I keep hearing stories about other women in the same boat that meet their husbands & realize they weren’t “asexual” after all.

He is an exclassmate, an old friend of my best friend, who was once her guy best friend, (he has had a hard glow up, and i still look the same. Just older and more mature. Not sure if he remembers me. So i will introduce myself.)

We do flirt, but again, it's while I'm working, when he actually comes in.

she sent me his snap to add. I added it. (Yes she's got a boyfriend)

His mother NEVER, I repeat, NEVER comes in the store and has not come in since. He only comes in BY himself.

He has done all the obvious signs of being interested, but I get the hint, he's shy. (Always has been tbh) the eye contact is INTENSE🫠 but subtle.

How should I approach him on snap without sounding desperate, stalkerish and weird asf? Like how did I get his snap, and where to go from there😭😭😭😭

Convo starters apperciated😭 he's super shy, seems very sweet since my bsf can vouch for him and extremely confident in himself.
