Is not dating completely and bettering my life normal?

[Anonymous]

So I’m in this phase in my life where I’m tired of being a loser. In the past 3-4 weeks I’ve deleted all my dating apps and started going to the gym consistently again. My plan is to lose 20-25lbs then start dating again. I’m not completely unhappy with the way I look but I’m not fully happy with the way I look. I want to become the best version of myself.

So my question is, is it healthy to stop dating completely for the foreseeable future? I’m tempted to redownload my apps but I feel like it’ll end up being a distraction and I’ll drop my fitness goals if I end up dating someone. Should I just focus on myself for the mean time or should I try to balance out both?

Has anyone been in this position before? If so how did it work out for you?

It is best for your future and future relationships if one gets their professional and personal lives in order. Focus on your education and career advancement and the hot women will sniff you out on their own. Create an inviting resume which is 70,000 year, no debt, and own house or townhome.

I think you're on the right track, bud. Self improvement should always be a goal. Dating could absolutely be a distraction, there's nothing wrong with investing in yourself before you invest in others.

Sounds like a good decision to me.

Sounds wise.

Go for it bro. Focus on what you want to do
