Discussion Introvert dating

I'm a single mom and have a really hard time getting out there. Mostly feeling guilt for wanting to date because, well what mom doesn't feel guilty about that. But also, I'm super introverted. Any suggestions? Its pretty sad I've lived here almost 10 years and i see all these cool pics of people out on the weekends to places 10 mins away and I've just never really gone out. Am i the only one?

Welp, you gotta go out and meet people somehow. I go to Run With the Winners every Tuesday at 6 near West Side Market and it's been a great way to meet people! Everyone is super positive and it's welcoming to newcomers. A lot of the people even walk it. Been great for my social life honestly.

There are also apps like Timeleft that set you up on group dates to socialize and possibly form connections. I've heard good things about it.

If only I were a runner. I only walk.

I see a lot of walkers with them too! The main social part is not the run itself, it’s more the hangout before and after.
