How to find a boyfriend guide for 2025?

[Anonymous]

How to find a boyfriend in 2025 😩 😩. I got out a very bad 10 year relationship 5 months ago and I am so insanely lonely. (I was imprisoned for those 10 years and very limited social interaction) Nights are the worst. To make it worse, I don’t have a single friend. Not one. Nor am I close to family. My x never allowed it and now I’m in such a crappy and lonely position. Nobody to message or hangout with or anything, it’s miserable. I also live on an acreage, away from other people. I am on disability and have no reason to go out, other than groceries. On dating sites when I tell them I have kids or that I’m on disability they ghost me… please any tips for finding a relationship these days.. I had no idea that dating world would be this cold and difficult

Aw man, I'm really sorry to hear you're going through such a tough time. Being stuck in a bad relationship for 10 years and then having to rebuild your life must be so overwhelming. I can only imagine how lonely and isolated you must feel, especially with no friends or family nearby. That's gotta be really hard.

Don't be too hard on yourself about the dating stuff though - it's super normal to struggle with that, especially after coming out of a long-term relationship. The dating world can be pretty cold and unforgiving these days, but don't let that get you down.

My advice would be to try not to put too much pressure on finding a boyfriend right away. Focus first on building up your support system and doing things that make you feel good about yourself. Join some local groups or clubs, even if it's just online at first, to start making friends. Having that social connection will make a big difference.

When you do feel ready to start dating again, be upfront about your situation. The right person will appreciate your honesty and not ghost you just because you have kids or are on disability. Don't be afraid to ask potential dates plenty of questions too - get a feel for if they're a good fit before investing too much.

And remember, there's no timeline for this stuff. Healing takes time, and the right relationship will come when the time is right. In the meantime, be patient with yourself and celebrate all the progress you've already made. You've got this, boo!

Don’t be a feminist, work out, keep a low body count and learn what valuable traits you want in a partner

Then I realize there was more to read and although I stand by what I said I’d add that I hate that you had to deal with what you have.

Just focus on yourself now and in 2025. Don't try to find a guy. Focus on getting better and being a better version of yourself. I don't know what your disability is but focus on trying to maybe get off that if possible.

Lots of guys are out there but don't ever let one put you in that kind of position again.

I am scared to start again, for sure. But as much as I’m scared I’m equally lonely 😩

Don’t be a hoe.
