21 and Needing Help With My Current Issue?

[Anonymous]

Hello, I'm 21 and in the Air Force. I'm currently stationed in Florida and have been here since I was 19. Since being here, I have not seen one girl. I gave up a little over a year ago because I was becoming frustrated with no results and recently, I've been having urges to approach women again. The problem is that the place I'm at barely has anyone that is my age because all of the girls have been taking up, which is one of the main reasons why I gave up. An example of one of my urges was when I went to goodwill and saw a girl my age working as a cashier. When I went to my car, I had a strong feeling of going back, but I decided not to. Another one is a girl at target that works there that is about my age (probably younger) and I really want to approach but I feel like it won't turn to nothing and it would make things awkward if I do get rejected. I am not on any dating apps because those are biased towards women plus a military base nearby makes it 10x worse. What should I do about my situation? Should I try with the girl at target? I was thinking about waiting to date when I get out the military which is like a year and eight months from now

Take it from me being 30 having been down this road. 21 is the time you MUST make an idiot of yourself, you must push yourself past the doubts and what ifs. Self-talking yourself out of doing something is the biggest disservice you can do to your life. If you see a girl you're interested in, don't think any further, follow that initial thought and go up to them, just speak your mind. Believe it or not (and girls will confirm this) the guy who makes an idiot of themselves, or has an awkward interaction is the guy that leaves a lasting impression on that girl. She will dwell and ponder and think about you to the point that she will develop interest in you. Either way you typically end up with a new friend and that will only help your chances with a bigger social circle.

Besides, girls love military men, carry it with pride.

Believe it or not, life isn't all about being with girls. Do you have any guy friends you can hang out with? That way you might have a better chance of meeting girls.

Chill out man. It's not a race. Take it easy, enjoy your life and when the time is right you will meet someone. If you are obsessed with meeting a girl, you will come off as desperate and that turns girls off. Just do things you like, enjoy yourself and let it happen organically.

It's hard to met someone when you're in the service, (I'm a Navy vet). Everybody in a military town knows exactly how much money you make, (that's why officers have so much more luck with women) and they no you aren't going to be staying long. Generally you aren't viewed as a great catch. Add to that you're 19, your hormones are pounding in your ears making you stupid. Probably going to be easier to date female service members, they at least labor under your same disadvantages.
