What has stopped you from being in a relationship with someone you truly wanted to be with?

[confusedgamer]

Uncertainty of whether feelings are mutual, and apart from messaging it got sort of put on hold due to quarantine. The one time I connect with someone we get a lockdown

[Nachowedgie]

The feelings aren't mutual

The guy I like doesn't have a lot of earning potential right now and probably forever and my parents won't let me date a guy like him cause he has a physical handicap even though his brain is very good so I can't marry him and move him into my parents home unless my parents die or get Alzheimers

It wouldn't work, the relationship. Gotta be realistic, if they/you/both aren't gonna have a serious and deep relationship
or a relationship you two would agree or want to have but they/you/both wouldn't follow the rules/wouldn't have fun
it's probs best to move on cause you/they/both would find someone else more worthy

Distance.
The guy is taken.
Our lifestyles differ too much to where we wouldn't be able to put time and effort into holding onto a relationship that we can build.

Them not existing and if she does she's just a character in a movie or TV show now I'm sure there's a woman out there who has that personality and everything but the odds of me meeting someone like that is very low

She was my best friend's sister so the bro code forced me to suffer in silence.

They’re rich, famous and attractive. And I’m well, I’m not.
