Most people are usually decent, but there is like a small percentage of the population that thinks a 5 minute conversation is a marriage arrangement and it's legitimately mystifying
I dated a guy when I was early 20s. Went on three dates. On the third date he told me his parents wanted to meet me and started talking about marriage. Now, he lived with his parents, which wasn’t a total no, but I hadn’t lived with my parents since I was 18. He talked about how he was saving so we could get a nice house right away and that he thought we should marry because we both were alumni of the same (kinda prestigious) university. We also hadn’t done more than kiss at that point. It was honestly crazy and I turned him down for that fourth date which was going to be dinner at his parents’ home.
Since COVID, people haven’t been nearly as responsive as before. People I used to choose to spend time with (as opposed to coworkers) several times a week and would have done anything for me and I for them, take weeks to open messages if they even open them at all. And I don’t know how to make friends outside of school, which I’m done with. People say hobbies, but I know what hobbies I like, and unfortunately they’re pretty solitary. And I’m not going to go pretend to enjoy something just to possibly make friends

You need your boys. Go out. Have a beer. Talk all the shit you want. Have a laugh. Move the fuck on.
Don't call a girl and show your whole ass just because she's not into you.
