This might be too specific, but I'm 25 and just moved to a new city, reconnected with a few old friends, and it is extremely awkward being around them as a "fifth wheel" (they both have long-term gfs) and it feels like I'm just killing the vibe of the double dates as a single man

Anyone else ever find themselves in a similar situation? It sucks

Imo, you're really just kinda boned if you have no way to establish a sense of community later in life (in the United States at least). I lost my religious faith in high school and really wish I wouldn't have.

    Being genuinely nice and caring is attractive. It's not enough, but there are plenty of people who appreciate it. The issue with niceguys is that they aren't nice.
