I think I'm going to respectfully disagree in this particular case - trying to fill a void with another person is a pretty sure route to unhappiness. For sure go out and meet people, make friends, learn new and interesting ways to spend time; but romantic relationships in my experience are much more balanced when you're not hoping the other person will help to "fix" some element of your personality.

- yieldcrv 4y agothis is good context for people that might take it too literally correct that “trying” to find a relationship has more subpar results than just being social and a relationship forming OP does need to interact with more humans in places outside of academia and work. for someone that doesn't know their interests, going to the generic social option is great advice.
