I'm just entering the whole dating scene after 4 years. I've never had to go out and meet someone on my own.. I really don't know how to put myself out there so people are interested. Advice is very much needed

Not sure about your exact situation, but my main advice is to allow dating to be fun and not a chore.

You have the opportunity to meet a bunch of new people and get to know them, and in doing so you'll get to know yourself in ways you may not have understood to such a depth previously.

It's also a chance to try new things and challenge your comfort zone.

In terms of meeting people... well, in real life you can find group activities around your area and start there. Book clubs... writing groups, jogging groups, whatever you're into.

Best of luck.

Listen to your gut and don't judge yourself if you don't feel safe - listen to that and move at your own pace. When I was ready to start dating again I liked meeting people on line cuz it helped me to remember the questions and flirting and conversations that seem to only take place when someone is checking you out. Don't be fooled tho - there are pretenders and scammers on line so when you are ready to actually date - get out there and meet them over coffee ASAP and don't get into a long chatty relationship about yourself on line.

Most important - be yourself - do what interests you and be kind to yourself. It's more fun to meet someone who has a common interest because you have something to share so if cooking is your thing - look for a cooking class or check out your local meetups for lesbians. Good Luck. Have fun.

Computer dating can be fun but don't rely on it as your life path.

You say you are adventurous. Try to decide what kind of adventures you would like to share with a lifelong partner. Hiking and skiing may be what you mean or scuba and travel is a different road less traveled.

Find the clubs in your area that handle the types of "fun" in which you think you might be interested and go visit them. You rarely have to join quickly. You will learn that most organizations of this type have far more single men around your age than other members. Some of my friends have met their mates this way.

Good luck.
