One bit of advice though: "in hopes that we become boyfriend and girlfriend"

If you did say that out loud (rather than just meaning you thought it), I would avoid that in the future. It sounds overly eager. Honestly if there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that playing it 'cool' with women in the early stages (and 90% of times if you've never met, it's early stages!) has a lot more advantages than disadvantages.

Also don't discount the value of making new friends. For one thing, that situation could change (don't count on it, but it could happen) over time. And you never know who that person might know. One of the best ways to make romantic connections is thru people you already know.

It sounds like you're very persistent Rorey Jun 2021 #1
