I (M18) am (still) a bit at loss on how to gain acquaintances with woman that could be relationship material.
A bit about me: I'm rather on the introverted side (though not much as I've discovered), I'm mostly quiet and reserved but have been trying to give my playful side some light too. I love one-on-one conversations about the world, existence, philosophy, psychology, politics, ethics, everything really. I really value getting to know the other person through and through, their values, opinions and unique perspectives. My hobbies are hitting the gym (I've got a decent physique, not crazy but decent), bouldering, skiing, hiking, mountainbiking, reading, playing football and enjoying sunsets and nighskies. Unfortunately, due to my field of study (engineering), I'm not acquainted to almost any women (one close friend though).
I've never dated anybody (so no physical stuff so far either), but l'd never settle for something casual. I want everything to origin from a place of deep emotional love and affection, that's the only way physical stuff holds any value to me. Well, I've made peace with the thought that most people my age are still in the "fuck around and find out" mindset (like literally) and feel like there's little people my age valueing the same things as me and people like me (correct me if l'm wrong).
I'd like to form some new bonds and maybe there could be someone worth pursueing romantically also. That's pretty much my stand point, advice is appreciated. Thank you <3
