I’ve Accepted I Might Never Be In A Relationship. I Don’t Know What To Say After A While. How Did Men Like Me Get Out Of This Situation?

So I’m 24(M) and I think I’ve just accepted I’ll never be in a romantic relationship. People call me handsome and good looking, and people who I work with or friends call me kind, always smiling, sweet, cute etc etc… and yet I just can’t talk to women. I mean I can in circumstantial environments. For example at work I can talk to them because there’s always something to talk about. Work gossip and just general what’s going on at work. But take work out of it and I just do not know what to say.

But that’s not even my problem. I matched this girl on hinge a couple months ago. And things were great at first. Flirting, getting to know each other etc… but now I’m at the point where I don’t know what to really say to her. Like I kinda know a lot about her, she’s lowkey kinda boring because she doesn’t really have any hobbies and she works on her business at home and apparently doesn’t really leave the house that much. Like I’m at a point where our conversation is literally us saying good morning to each other. How each other are. Then not message for a couple hours. Ask what we’re having for lunch or what we’re doing during the middle of the day. Then if I’m working in the evening I’ll tell her how my shift is or whatever and then have a brief conversation and then say good night. It’s so dull and mundane now. And like sure she’s not the most interesting person in the world butttt she’s had a couple boyfriend in the past so they must have talked about something. And I haven’t even met up with her yet. So when I basically have to keep a conversation going for a few hours at minimum it’ll probably be even worse.

My biggest problem is just the fact I don’t know what to say to start a conversation. I feel like once I’m in a conversation I’m quite good at asking follow up questions when I’m in the flow. But naturally a conversation topic is always going to either die or flow into something else.

Anyone who had this problem please help.

Edit: this girl I’ve been chatting to… I have asked her out on a date a good couple times and always hint at doing stuff together. She says she likes to get to know someone first
