Ive been single for almost a decade and I feel like I never or will never make progress. 2 years ago I moved to a big city (downtown Toronto) so I dont have a group of friends to go out with. So I have to do everything on my own. Ive gotten two main themes from this sub which are "OKC and Tinder" or "just be confident" but neither work for me.

Ive been using OKC and Tinder and POF heavily for over a year and have made no progress. I maybe get 1-2 matches in a week, and even then I only get matched with bots or people dont respond. Its the exact same no matter what platform Im on.

I also get a lot of advice to just get out of the house and go to places you like. I go to bars, coffee shops, shows, parks, events, and just walk around as often as I can. I try to keep busy and go out every weekend, but Im always by myself. I thought going out to things alone would display confidence but it doesnt seem to work that way. The only people that go out in this city are inseperatable cliques of friends, and couples. Its extremely rare that I actually have a situation that I can approach, but I do when I can. When I do approach, I only ever get "go away" or they roll their eyes and pretend to ignore me.

Is there anything left for me to try? I feel like Ive done everything I can do for someone in my situation. Does anyone have any new tips?
