* using public transport / not having drivers license: I got a driver's license only in my mid 30s and I really regret not doing it earlier. So many beautiful days wasted at home, lost touch with friends etc because getting out of town was too much trouble.
* related to that: staying at home too often instead of finding a SO. While I am very happy today, sometimes I wish I'd have found my wife and I had my children earlier. And maybe more children.
* procrastinating and eventually giving up on too many side projects. I have a history of starting awesome side projects and not finishing them for whatever reason, starting as a teenager. If I had finished even one of them, I may be able to live without a day job.
- sellingwebsite 7y agostaying at home too often instead of finding a SO I am still struggling with that. I am working from home and don't go out too often. I am quite an introverted person, plus not big on dating apps, since they're mostly waste of time :') I realize that this is a problem, but still don't know what to do about it..
- tjansen 7y agoI never used dating apps, it always seemed like a ridiculous waste of time, at least for men. But as I am semi-introverted and don't drink, I also had no idea where to meet people. One day I found meetin.org, which was a very active community 15 years ago (today not so much, but meetup.com is somewhat similar). Through meetin.org I attended a Salsa class with other members, then started taking other salsa classes on my own and eventually found my wife at a party when my dance teacher introduced me to her. I think the key is just to a) get out and b) male-dominated places don't count.
