Don't use dating apps. Especially Tinder. It's been shown from their data that the top 3% of men in terms of looks get the top 80% of females in terms of looks, and that the bottom 97% of men fight over the bottom 20% of females. It's great if your a really good looking guy with tons of confidence, cause it allows you to date/sleep with 10 women at the same time, but is not good else wise. Some of the other dating apps get close to the top 20% of men in terms of looks fighting over the top 80% of women and that's best case.

You gotta find people in person. It's much easier to get dates that way. I'm not really good looking, but I've gotten a ton more dates just meeting people than I ever would be able to on apps.

Also good on you to wait for her to reschedule. Don't ask her. I used to be someone who would ask girls on dates, they'd say yes and then they almost never showed up. Most of the time they didn't even bother to tell me they weren't coming. Now I say I'm coming to pick them up and that way I don't ever go by myself in shame. If they cancel I say call me to reschedule and I go looking for someone else. Every now and then they do reschedule, but most of the time they are just being polite and don't want to say they aren't interested to me.

Currently I'm dating someone older than me. None of the woke stuff and she still acts like she enjoys life, unlike some of the teen or younger 20's girls who are taught that acting like they are enjoying things is a sign of weakness or something. Never thought I'd be dating someone older than me, but it's worth going out and meeting people in my opinion.
