8. Online dating. Moved half-way across the country to be with her. I always wanted a nerdy-gamer girl for a girlfriend and I got my wish.
Totally worth the move.
Cannot emphasize how fantastic online dating is to introverts, once you get over the ridiculous amount of rejection, and accept that patience is your friend, and lastly, learn to be honest and put effort into your messages/profile.
9. OkCupid. After wafting through about 2 years of bullshit, failed dates, ghosting, etc I messaged this girl. At that point I was desensitized; why bother putting effort into your first message when 95% of girls don’t reply?
I hit her with some really corny dad joke and she did reply and laughed. We got to talking, eventually agreed to meet up for a beer.
We agreed going in that we’d start with just a beer and lay everything out on the table. If either of us wanted to cancel the date we would, no hard feelings. A beer turned into two, turned into dinner. That turned into a second date, then a third. The first year turned into a second, then a third.
Now we’re engaged and just booked a wedding venue.
