I've been out of the game for over 12 years now and that's all coming to an end. I'm 36M, in reasonable good shape and decent looking, but I'm starting to get a little nervous. All my friends are basically through my soon to be ex so I'll be basically starting from scratch (although i will retain a few friends they aren't really going out a lot on the weekends as they have their own families) . I've read the FAQ and understand some of what you're preaching her but there is so much more going on than the last time i was single (tinder, online dating etc) that I'm a bit overwhelmed as to where to even start. I'm confident in myself and have learned over the course of life that women are just normal people like me looking for a connection so i'm not terrified of talking to them just confused/nervous as to starting. Advice is appreciated.

Also what advice would you give for dating apps or online stuff?
