Fuck the Capitalist commodification of love.

Drop the dating apps & muster up the patience go do things & meet people irl instead.

I don't think I've ever met someone organically and then dated them

They say workplace relationships don't work and they're probably right, but the problem is that's the only place you ever meet anyone these days.

I asked out my coworker about a week ago.

I can't recommend against it enough.

When you befriend the people at your workplace, you will also meet their friends.

When everyone in your workplace is a transplant, their friends are just other coworkers

Which is not a bad start to make more friends.

That's wishful thinking. I might be befriendable, but I'm not fit to introduce to people.

Honestly, I'm good. I never really used apps but I have had a lot of girlfriends through mutual friends and such. I'm just over it. I'm tired of romance and especially tired of sexuality. I just want to program computers.

Careful or you'll get exactly what you're asking for.
