That’s the thing, it will work 100% guaranteed. As long as you’re open to new friendships. Will the first person fall in love with you? Probably not. The second? Also probably not. That’s the beauty of it, you’ll either have an SO or a ton of friends, and having a friend of the opposite gender is like wingman paradise.

No it won’t. I tried that for 30 years with no success.
For some people, if you don’t put in effort you will not get any of those things.

It will, maintaining friendships and especially new ones requires a lot of effort. I’m saying when you meet people you don’t think they’ll be your SO, but rather a new friend. That’s now an entirely different conversation, one which has a much more relaxed nature, increasing the chances of a potential relationship.

Yeah well I already have a ton of friends. I just think you can’t claim it will work 100% for everyone, because you can’t prove that.

You’re missing the point by like a mile, you have to be open to new ones. Relationships don’t just appear out of nowhere.

I am. I’m just saying it’s not because you got lucky that this will work out for everyone, so it’s not 100%

If that’s your worry, you never stopped “looking”
stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
How so? I’m not “looking” at all. I’m just seeing my friends once in a while and occasionally making new friends. Outside of that I’m just focusing on my studies. I’ve stopped caring about dating for a long time. Of course that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped wishing to meet someone.
