I'm not worried about time per se. I've just accepted that dating for dudes comes down to a numbers game, making a lot of attempts, and 'failing' most of those times.

Regarding finding romance when not in pursuit of it, I worry that my interests, if pursued to their extremes (Which I'm prone to do) will essentially make me anti-social, even if I'm not that way.

To use the outdoorsy stuff as an example, I want to spend as much of this summer as possible on the water, and remote Michigan waterways aren't exactly teeming with SEXY SINGLES LOOKING TO HOOK UP IN YOUR AREA. My desire for a relationship in that regard is a desire to have someone to share that experience with. My bros (male friends and literal brothers) are great, but there's a limit to the depth of those relationships.
