      Wait what lol If you’re dead set on spending your discretionary time working and coding then dating will be impossible. I don’t think the opportunity to co-work together with others is the solution but I’m willing to be proven wrong. If this sounded snarky I don’t mean it to be, the programmer hobbyist is becoming rarer and rarer these days. Cheers

  That is the best dating advice I have ever heard! And yes, you nailed what I may be good at. I guess I am also good at having conversations with random strangers, male or female. I always smile at people - men or women - but never in a creepy way. And I say hello if it seems appropriate. I never expect anything out of this, I just enjoy meeting my neighbors.
