Has dating changed you for Better or for worse?

I’ve had very little success in the dating world from online dating to in person.

I’ve always been told I’m pretty attractive at lest slight above average at the very least but I just think I have very bad luck.
Recently tho I’ve been going through a lot in regards to this girl I like.

I just feel there’s a strong lack of communication in her part on how she truly feels and in relegated to often times give things just time for her to sort it out which is tough for me since I’m an over thinker and impatient.

Some situations have also lead me to the mindset of doing almost anything necessary, necessary in order to win I almost look at it if as a game to an extent and it’s scary.

Alls fair in love and war as they say and from my standpoint as a guy who often gets the short end of the stick it’s even scarier from lying and manipulation as well as other attics I’m starting to think these are all things that maybe I should be using.

A female friend recently told me that nothing really coms if being nice in life especially in dating and that honestly a conclusion I’d come to a while ago but I’m generally just a kind person.

But instead of good things come my way because. I l already know some idiots rebuttal to that will be “well you expect good things to happen to you cause you nice that’s not how it works duh”

Ofc that’s not how it works Jackass but why would anyone won’t bad things to happen to them because if the kindness they show others.

And dating this hold even more so true I used to want to prove people wrong about nice guys but I don't know anymore I kinda feel like I’m better off doing what I need to do I can get the girl even if it’s a little shady and unhinged most girls seem like they prefer that over the typical nice guys even though they will tell you differently but there actions show otherwise.

I don’t know if I’d say I’m on a better path or worse path but this is how the dating landscape has pushed me to think so yeah.
