How does this affect your dating life and social activities?
It doesn't really. I have acquaintances I kick it with from time to time, mostly people I went to grad school with and we work in the same area. (im a transplant to this city).
Like for instance, one guy I was in class with invited me to his bday trip in September, and from that I got invited to this ski trip im going on this weekend. I tend to keep these at arms length and vice versa.
Back home I have "real friends" who have known me from middleschool/highschool/college.
A real friend invited me to his wedding in vegas this summer when I went home for the holidays.
Dating is/was a mix up of tinder(chilled on this), meet and greets, friends of friends, and cold approaches(just started this frfr)
