I (24M) am currently unemployed, at home with my parents, in a suburb of a Rust Belt city. As you can imagine this does not bode well for dating. I have a car that gets 16 miles per gallon, so whenever I leave the house to go somewhere I have to take that into account.
For the past few weeks I've been getting out of the house more as the weather warms and my desperation kicks in. Visiting the park and other open social areas has been a pretty bland experience as most attractive women are either in groups or doing an activity where they don't want to be approached.
Lately, dating has been the number 1 priority for me rather than personal self-improvement or even job searching. I've only been on 3 dates in my life. I've never had a first kiss. I've never had sex. I am trying to find a way out of it, but after installing 5 dating apps and getting 6 matches, I'm not sure how I can.
So my solution now is to just move. I don't know what city or region to move to, but there has to be some place where I'll have more opportunities for dating. I have a degree in engineering technology and some job experience, and I don't consider myself to be ugly, but I'm black, I have ADHD and social anxiety.
