I hired a friendship coach to help me make friends. Here's what happened.

Sick of swiping left or right? As dating through apps and online platforms like Match. But others are tired of relying on selecting potential mates from overedited profile pictures. Daters are complaining that people show up for in-person dates not looking like their photos, are flaky due to the number of prospects an app like Bumble can provide, and may only be interested in casual flings versus long-term relationships.

I was heading into a new decade of my life feeling strong a propos my career, my life accomplishments after that my relationship with my partner. Although when he asked me who I wanted to invite to my anniversary party, my mouth opened and I let out a long trail of ummms. In my early twenties, I was a friend-making machine. I was the president of my person sorority in college and spent very a small amount of hours of any day alone.

I remember the day after, when my flatmate asked me how it went. I beamed at her over my cup of tea. I met so as to man about 10 years ago. Millions of other people.
