I just don’t think I’m cut out for dating 😥. Do I need encouragement or should I give up?

[Silver89]

I used to think I was hard to love as well. My friends would say "Oh you can get any girl you wanted" yet the main woman texting me up was my mother lol. All good things come in time and everyone has different path in life. On the outside, relationships sound like a dream but people dont think of the troubles involved. I dated my 1st girlfriend for a year, half of it was long distance as she returned to Japan. My parent's divorce put me into a deep depression and the girl leaves me via email saying real men shouldn't be crying and need to stay strong for when SHE cries... needless to say, that kind of pain from your 1st relationship is unbearable. Everyone else I tried setting dates with would just ghost me or stop talking. I wanted to give up too until my friends convinced me to visit their city an through them I met a woman that completely changed how I saw the world. When first kissed me, it was like my soul was set on fire. I've had 3 gfs total I've never felt such elation before.

I always got irritated when people give the cliche "it'll happen when you least expect" advice but will cross paths with the right one at some point. You will find a lot of clowns but they will serve as (often painful) life lessons that will teach you more about yourself and the ideal partner you want.

You need to not take it so personally, its hard for everyone and you can't expect to be a perfect match for everyone.

The problem is that because you haven't matched with anyone so far you have decided that means that you can't match with anyone and that becomes a self forfilling prophecy.

Love yourself and be your own person and do your own thing and if a guy is lucky enough to get to share some of your time with you, great good for him.

You must think more positively.

Its an awful truth that getting a partner is like getting a credit card, you can't only have one if you dont need one.

I think you should love yourself first. I guess you are insecure and get to dependent or sticky at some point and they end up moving away. people like confident, strong and independent people, if you give too much attention they take you for granted and lose interest

Life can feel that way but honestly it’s more about chemistry than anything.. you’re willing and you’re open so you end up liking people that may not even be the best for you.. 👀 You may even end up falling in love with someone who can’t reciprocate those feelings back.. 😷 try to just chill and go with the flow of everything you do in life...

I have a friend who ended up abused and threatened to be murdered by her husband etc.. just because people are I. Relationships doesn’t mean you’re necessarily missing out on something.. 😷 even tho it does suck to feel so lonely at times..

There is no set age for when you're supposed to run into that one. For now focus on being yourself and doing things that you enjoy doing. Enrich your character with these things and enjoy you for who you are first. It's important to be okay with yourself.
Relationships are a lot of hard work. It's definitely not all sunshine and rainbows.
You give up things like privacy and attention you once gave to others. So 100% enjoy life the way that you want to right now. It will work out in time.

If someone has to clap every time you poop you're going to be constipated for a very long time. No one's going to encourage you as an adult to do something that most people do naturally "dating". Find your motivation, or be single for the rest of your life.

[Knightoffire]

When you think your dating doesn't work you should just date more and more, don't be like this and don't lose hope that is worst thing you can do. We all can be loved by someone you just did not found the right person for you... it can happen it is just statistics never take things too personally it will get you inside of a whirlwind of self doubt and will do you no good.

[SunnySri]

Mam, there is nothing wrong here you are just lacking a bit of confidence, according to me, but have faith in yourself, believe in yourself and try talking naturally to the guys you are interested in, it will work out for you.☺️☺️

You can take a break for awhile and resume when you feel up to it.
Only someone who knows you IRL can give you customized feedback, but I you may be coming on too strong because you're overeager.

[MannMitAntworten]

Give up... however, once you do you will likely start getting a lot more attention. Prepare yourself for that craziness.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Don’t let your wounds end your fate. Sounds like your relationship with your Rigor Fate doesn’t have much health. Work on that, and you Willa taka dah TILVALHALL. (Achieve victory/success)

[JamesTorquay]

You shouldn't give up on dating. Eventually you will find someone or he will find you.
