Soooo you’re single. And finally ready to get back out there. Or at least that’s what your friends are encouraging you to do, so you’re going to try and humor them.

So you download Bumble, figure out where the fun bars are, buy a couple new going-out dresses and decide to go out and put the moves on someone.

You’ve got to be honest about your situation, though. You haven’t done “charming” in a long time.

You’ve got to psych yourself up a little bit.

And maybe do a little physical maintenance.

But you’re totally ready. And your friends have got your back for all the pitfalls you’ll face on the way.

Like getting those (ahem) rude DM’s.

And those dates that get a little awkward…

And the ones where you just don’t know what to do with yourself.

And for every gross dude you do encounter, your buds are going to have some choice words of criticism.

But eventually, you’re gonna find someone who actually seems promising…

… And understands your refined tastes.

And maybe, just maybe, it’ll turn out to be worth it.
