Dillsburg, PA. Back to all posts. By: Abigail Lee on February 13th,

And with the media playing out the image of online dating like a scene from your granddaughter’s latest tween film, the dating world might look a little polished and​.

Following three years of more or less accidental celibacy, I made a vow to go on two dates a week, every week. And not to brag but I usually get asked out again. If you go a long time without dating , getting back on the horse is hard. If you do want to get back out there, here are some of my observations after meeting close to a hundred brand new potential soulmates. Full disclosure: I did go on dates during those three years of celibacy. Like, four times, maybe.

Because I went out with people so infrequently, I put an enormous amount of pressure on myself and my date. Those bad feelings kept me from trying again, for long periods of time. By forcing myself to brush it off right away and go on another date, I discovered that bad dates are just statistical probabilities. Oh, you hate dating apps?
