I now quite often sit on dating sites.
Since covid appeared I stopped communicating with anyone at all and all my friends were lost(
I decided that I will try to find friends on a dating site, now I already have friends who have become very close to me.
So I advise you not to sit and be sad, but to act and stop being afraid to meet people.
I can advise you to use the site

And most importantly, be brave, other people are just like you, and many people like you are maybe afraid to write first and get acquainted.
