So I am a 24 year old guy who has never dated. I live on the outskirts of a midsized city in the PNW. I work in forestry and due to the nature of the field, I commute 45 min to work in a small town. I do this so I can be around more people and more potential dates. But I am still facing the same problems. Dating apps are very empty and dry. I dont mesh with people I am around. Most people are 10 to 15 years older than me.

My chances of meeting a girl here are very slim at this point. When is the correct time to figure out a new direction for your life to increase the chances of dating?
