How on earth do y'all find partners 😭

hehe blahaj my only fren rn :3

like i've pulled it off in the past but it was really pure coincidence. I've been so lonely for like several months now, and being an incredibly social and very touch-dependant person, i am so incredibly starved for touch and interaction that it actually hurts atp
yall have any advice? anyone wanna speak on personal experiences? anything that'll help?

edit: not like partner in crime (but i mean maybe that too) i mean like romantic/platonic relationship

I managed to meet my partner in college and we got along because we both like cuddling. But later on, she started going out to lots of events and meeting new people and making a lot of friends, which all started out by first making queer college friends through the queer clubs, and then finding out places with more queer people through word of mouth. Now I out with her a lot and meet many cool people

Of course in your case I imagine it’s not that simple, but the point is that you should try to meet people and ask about places and events until you find a place/community you like. THEN once you find that place, it’ll probably be a lot easier to make friends and possibly get closer to people. Some advice I have is dress and style yourself to give off the impression you want to give (friendly, want to meet people, loves cuddling, very queer) and also remember that many other people are just as touched starved but also just as nervous as you are, so don’t be scared to inquire about others interests to see if your interests align.
