Tl;dr – early thirties, recently separated, perhaps divorced soon, average dude with a decent job etc. “Taking a break” for sure. What is modern dating and how do I?
I’ve never really dated or had any exposure to this… culture, I guess (and I was very thankful for that, after reading what people go through). Be gentle, folks…
I guess I’m up for exploring casual dating for a bit, while being open to more serious things (but I really can’t imagine anything in-between). As an average person, like, what do you do? I imagine if I were looking for serious relationships, I would put up profiles that focus on personality /interests / etc. But for experiencing what it’s like to uh, meet people casually – do you like write a flippant profile? Or go on those websites that are promoted as “for cheating” or apps like Feeld? Or like what?..
I don’t think I can pull off not being authentic (when I read r/tinder, to me, that entire sub is full of cringe, especially the forced humour), but do people care about personality when looking for casual dates?
(To not make this sound weird: I’m not from some strange sheltered cultist upbringing, I’ve met my wife through common friends and just never really had a need to date. Also, not the US, Western Europe)

There’s a lot of stuff we can talk about. But if you are trying to stay casual dating apps would be the best bet for busy people, there’s other types of approach like daytime, or night game(if that is your thing). Point is when being casual don’t approach this as you would trying to find a relationship. That does not mean you are an ass or player just play the relaxed, borderline bored in your meetups. I would look into some dating material like podcasts, blogs and some pickup-artists stuff, not all of them have good stuff so be mindful.
