I’m never going to find someone who loves me and this makes me depressed. Should I just give up on life if I’m alone forever?

Why do you think that?

Do you have an unacceptable past?
Kids from someone else?
Used drugs?
Are very fat or have a very unattractive face?

If none of those then I don't see the problem.
How long have you been single?

[Asker]

No, none of those things at all. I’m considered very beautiful and intelligent, accomplished, kind, feminine. I see those qualities in myself too.
I just don’t go out a lot and I have depression too. I also think no one is interested in me at all romantically and look for signs that they aren’t interested all the time.

How long have you been single then?

[Asker]

3 years since before covid. I go on dates here and there looking for something serious but nothing has solidified. So I’m out of luck. And getting older.

[HighValue]

Many men go far longer than that without even a single date.

Have you tried making an online profile?
Not on a casual or free site, but on a serious one like eHarmony?

[Asker]

Yeah, but tell me what you think... there’s a guy at work who likes me but I don't know if he’s serious:
He doesn’t live in my city but is coming this week and asked for drinks on Friday, initiates/texts me every Saturday same time and we text for hours with gaps in between, tells me I make his day and that I’m hilarious, asks a lot about me and my Hobbies, shares videos and picture of himself, etc.). Is he just stringing me along?

If you are in a relationship and texting other guys that are interested in you then you aren't mature enough to have a lasting exclusive LTR.
First you should focus on deciding on how to handle your current relationship before trying to see your other options with someone else. Someone that is serious about their relationship wouldn't be doing that.

[Asker]

I’m not in a relationship with him.

[HighValue]

Oops, sorry. I posted in the wrong opinion. I have two tabs open responding to two different people's topics/posts. Go ahead and delete that if you want. It wasn't meant for this question.

[HighValue]

If that guy wants to meet then he probably isn't stringing you along. Just don't fall for early sex, etc. because people that use others and abandon them try that.

[Asker]

@highvalue no I think you did post in right opinion but your last comment was wrong.

[Asker]

@highvalue sorry yeah you did post in wrong opinion. But yes please tell me what you think of guy at work I asked you about.

[Anonymous]

Nope you need to not obsess about it. Life is not a storybook. And half the people you think are so happy, really aren't. Love yourself and allow the people who care about you to love you. And don't put so much emphasis on a partner.

[AndrewAzul]

Why don't you try approaching someone.

[Asker]

Yeah, but tell me what you think... there’s a guy at work who likes me but I don't know if he’s serious:
He doesn’t live in my city but is coming this week and asked for drinks on Friday, initiates/texts me every Saturday same time and we text for hours with gaps in between, tells me I make his day and that I’m hilarious, asks a lot about me and my Hobbies, shares videos and picture of himself, etc.). Is he just stringing me along?

[AndrewAzul]

Nah he likes you, give him a chance.

[Asker]

Everyone is so fucking annoying. They’re like “he’s only texting you once a week. If he was interested it’s be more frequent” but we haven’t even been on a date. He didn’t know if I liked him.

[AndrewAzul]

This is your chance at romance

[Asker]

Should I still go for drinks with him this Friday?

[AndrewAzul]

If you think he's nice why not.

[Asker]

Everything seems right in my opinion

[AndrewAzul]

Then go

Do you love yourself?
