Social dates are a fun and stress free way to proceed. Find a nice bull who is willing to just socialise, meet for drinks or dinner so you both get out of the house and just have some fun. If there’s chemistry then even better.
Another fun way can be Kik chat which was a big and fun step for my wife. Get chatting to a nice bull, share those chats with each other and then proceed to a group chat so you are all connected and chatting.
