You can work at being better at your job , you can work at having more marketable skills , you can volunteer more , give to charity more , nurture your interests and passions , find your inner child , be creative . But if you want to go on a date , someone ' s going to have to be willing to date you . There ' s just no getting around that . You can work on being a more dateable person as well . You have a lot more control than you think you do . Think of it this way , how are you even going to come across the opportunity to find a date if you lock yourself up at home all the time ? Maybe working out will improve your mood , make you look better , get you outside , get you interacting with people , give you something to talk about , and give you a goal to work towards all of these things are attractive to a potential partner . And since you said you have nothing better to do at home , why not just go work out ?
