I've been single almost a year after an almost 20 year relationship and i feel so out of touch with dating, since i haven't been single since 18. I've tried approaching women, only to almost always be rejected or given their number only for them not to text back after I do. I've been told that i am very attractive and i do workout almost everyday as well and I like to be social. However, I am very flirty and confident enough to ask for a number after a conversation in hopes of meeting someone. I've been on a few dates since my breakup and had sex with a girl a couple times, but I still feel like I don't know what im doing.
My older brother and a coworker told me to just have fun. Dont look for relationships and when you meet a girl, just enjoy her and dont look to make her yours. In other words, just enjoy life as it is, reason being is it will make me look less desperate and more exciting to be around and since im not hitting on her, she may become interested in me instead.
I have been trying to ask out girls lately but for some reason, nothing happens at all. I've talked to probably 20 + women since my breakup. I feel unattractive even though im told that i take good care of my appearance. I sometimes feel that my flirtatious behavior may scare women away or something and I've been told by several women that i look like a player, which is something that makes me think women dont trust me from the beginning.
What should I do, listen to my brother and just try to live a fun life and if i meet women, just look to have fun with them (let them give me a sign of interest first then make the move), or should I continue to do what I've been doing (although this seems to not be working for me). Sorry if i sound stupid but I've been in a relationship so long, and times have changed, therefore im confused on what women want nowadays. Thanks for your feedback
