I'm just shelving online dating entirely for now. In months of obsessive swiping, it didn't really go anywhere and overall just made me feel worse. At the very least meeting and making friends in person will have positives that online dating or online friending don't have because dating apps are honestly kind of toxic to actually meeting people even if trying to do it for friends. I just didn't know what else to try because I didn't know how else to meet people but I found some options now.
