they do. It requires patience. I think the issue with the modern idea of what a romantic relationship is has been formed by the prevailing medium of the times (the dating apps).
the Apps have made entering into a relationship with someone both instantly accessible and completely disposable. its So easy you don’t even have to leave the house. Not to mention, entering into relationships with no intention or understanding of why you want to be in a relationship in the first place.
I think because of this people view relationships as something that is acquired like an item in an amazon shopping cart rather than a relationship being something that can emerge from cultivating a strong sense of self, being a part of some sort of community, and quite literally putting yourself out there for YOU; without holding the intention or secret wish that you will meet someone and fall in love.
I haven’t used the apps in 4-5 years and have met plenty of people that I connected with in real life - but you Have to be comfortable with potentially being alone and having no “prospects” for long periods of time - grappling with what it means to be alone and being okay with being alone will make you a better and more appreciative partner in the long run.
Sorry for the rant. Slow day at work

I deleted all my dating apps bc I’ve only had success meeting ppl in the wild or through friends. Try to focus energy on meeting more ppl naturally (friends or otherwise) and seeing where it goes
