I am new to dating, never dated; fell into 2 LTR's that lasted (together) about ten years. I am not looking to get a girl into bed or hook up in anyway, I don't necessarily want a relationship, I just want to meet cool people...and I like females :)

So for the questions. 1. Is tinder used primarely for casual sex? 2. If the above is true, is there a way I can make a profile saying that this is not what I am looking for (I don't want to give the wrong impression)...without it looking stupid? 3. Are dating sites worth it? 4. Besides tinder, what is used?

I generally have no game and have a difficult time approaching people, especially attractive women.

I'm on a mission to make some positive changes in my life: be more open to experience, meet with people, walk without staring at the ground 24/7, make new friends, live a life that I enjoy, not be a slave to other's wants and sacrificing things I want.
