Is it true that the right girl will walk into your life at any time?
i'm starting to worry
It's possible. Life can be unpredictable in that way.
As backwards as it seems, I've found that with many things in life, they always turned up when I wasn't looking for them. Or, when I have been looking and finally feel discouraged, it happened (that is what happened while I was house shopping; I was thoroughly unimpressed with everything in my price range and area and thought I was going to have to settle for something I didn't really care for, and then I checked the online listings again days later and saw the house of my dreams, which is now mine). When looking for a hard to find item I want to buy, I can almost never find it when I am most interested in buying it. Nope, it shows up long after that's been put on the back burner in my mind. 🤣 Same with finding a lost item; frantically searching the house is a lost cause, as I will typically not find it until I've calmed down and stumble across it in a place I swore I looked.
I'm not interested in dating anyone, but ironically have had more interest from men since coming to that conclusion than when I was open to dating. 🤦♀️
However, I wouldn't say it's best to just give up and not even try, but perhaps to not put too much pressure on yourself. 26 is still young, and I've known many people who didn't find their spouses until at least 30+. While it's good to still go after what you want, it's also best not to put too much pressure or time limits on yourself, or to become desperate. Live your life while you're looking for someone and don't be afraid to wait for a relationship that makes you truly happy (don't jump into the first available relationship just for the sake of being in one).
"However, I wouldn't say it's best to just give up and not even try, but perhaps to not put too much pressure on yourself.". This is a great philosophy. Everyone should live this way.
@Jamie05rhs Thank you! Agreed!
👍🙂
Yes and no, it is possible to meet the right person at any time but like I'll tell my friends who say they want to find Mr. Right is that if they never go out, all they do is work and go home, what do they expect him to do? break into their place, and ask her out?
You need to put yourself out there, an example I'll give that happened to me is I became a friend with a co-worker, we dated for a little while, didn't work out. Stayed friends and professional but then he introduced me to one of his friends later, but I wasn't interested in him romantically but we became friends. Yes I friend zoned him, which I know guys hate.
Through this friend zoned guy, he later on said he knew someone he could set me up with and it was a blind date and we hit it off big time.
This has happened multiple times over the years, what I call real world social networking, not online. One never knows who you'll meet by meeting someone, becoming friends and where it can take you.
It might not take you anywhere, but if your out there and available and doing what you can, things happen when you least expect them to.
i only work as i need money
@Aerissa_Jade absolutely agree!
Hell no! You're a man, things don't just get handed to you. Unfortunately for guys, you have no choice but to actively go out of your way, and look for women you're interested in, otherwise you will spend the rest of your life alone. Women will never make the first move, unless they're desperate, and in my experience, you won't be interested in the sorts of women who make the first move, anyway... They're making the first move, because no guy is willing to make the first move on them. Attractive women also rarely ever show interest in you at all, especially in the modern dating market, where online dating is concerned, and most women can have their choice of 1000+ men, at any given moment.
As a guy, you don't have the luxury of waiting around for someone special to come to you, only women have that option. Start getting out of your comfort zone, and putting yourself out there, before it's too late. Good luck man 🤘😎.
I'm okay with being bymself then
It's been true in my observation

Maybe it will, maybe it won't.
My girlfriend is Chinese and her Chinese first name is Rong. So, in my case, the rong girl walked into my life.
No, men have to put a great deal of time , money , effort and risk for the chance of dating.
You aren't a women, you can't just sit back and expect the world to give you stuff.
That said, there's a big catch 22 for men these days, we are so restricted, we are under a microscope and any hint of male sexuality being expressed could get you branded a creep. We are constantly demonized and told everything we say, do , even think is wrong. It makes it almost impossible for decent men to approach anymore.
I'm glad I'm no longer obligated to fill that roll! Approaching women was about the single most unpleasant and dangerous task I've ever done (and I've worked 1000' in the air hanging by a rope)
The risk is great, the reward unlikely, that's dating for men in the misandrus 21st century.
Ether man up and deal with it or opt out and look for your own happiness.
@Juxtapose Yeah, I get a little sick inside just thinking about it.
Walk in? Not likely. My brothers are in their 30s thinking the dream woman will magically come knocking at their doorstep. Fact is, if your life revolves around being locked indoors, gaming without getting out and doing something with your life, then you're screwed. Nothing wrong with gaming or being an introvert per se, but relationships are like a lot of things deairable in life. It requires effort. It requires work. Sitting on your ass isn't going to make anything come to you, a woman or otherwise.
Be clear on your core values (what’s important to you), the lifestyle that you want and how you are going to show up as a partner. If you’re clear on how you are, where you are going and what you have to offer, you will be able to apply intelligent discernment to the people who come into your life. Then go out and live your life to its fullest. She will appear and you will recognize her. Most importantly, get outside and interact with people. Do what you love and what interests you. She will appear. Good luck!
I don’t think the world always works like that. You could always try online dating, I know someone who’s been in a very happy relationships for over a year now, and they met them on tinder. Or if you like anyone right now but are waiting for them to make the first move, I encourage you to just go for it. Perfect doesn’t exist, so if you like them romantically, take a chance and shoot your shot, no point waiting for someone who meets your criteria more if your potential soulmate’s sitting in front of you.
No, it is not true.
It is a Disney fantasy.
I am 64 and I have known only rejection, lonliness and heartbreak.
If you really want to take the extreme legal and financial risk that is involved in courting females, I suggest that rather than waiting for on random chance be proactive and use the services of matchmakers and introduction agencies.
Stay away from dating websites. They are where dreams go to die.
sad but true
Yes she will I honestly have up on dating for over a year and a half and then me then I moved back to my hometown reconnected with a couple friends I hadn't seen in a few years from high school and we ended up dating within three weeks of me moving back and now we're engaged and are looking at where to buy our first house then we're gonna have our wedding and try for a baby never know when you'll find the right person they do literally just pop up outta nowhere or they e been right in front of you trying to get your attention it's random but the world does try to help you find who you're supposed to be with
No, not the right girl.
The right succubus.
Yes it's true, but said girl will also walk out of your life at anytime. So dont wait around for that to happen, go out and meet women, fall in and out of love and just live man. Life is too short to be lived on the side waiting. When the time is right you will recognize that special girl and your past experience will act as tools in keeping her. Good Luck ✌
No. That's just some feel-good woo-woo bullshit that people say to keep someone feeling positive. Fact is, with the "right girl" you're still going to have to recognize her and pursue her. She doesn't walk into your life... you walk into hers. That's why it's women who typically spout this crap. Their experience is that the guy walks into her life; she doesn't walk into his.
this sucks
@Asad1ONE1 why stay away from tinder?
Because as I've heard, a lot of men swipe right too often , thinking other men are doing the same. And so the system itself is the problem. Women are overwhelmed with false attention and promises and men are underwhelmed lol. Everyone needs to take their time and swipe only one those they find attractive. It's a collaborative effort that I doubt will ever happen. I'd try eHarmony or Bumble if I were you. On Bumble, only women are allowed to make the first move.
Let me share my dating experience, I dated many girls but I was unsuccessful in both serious and casual dating. I never got laid, I was upset and sexually frustrated. Earlier, I was not interested in watching porn but after unsuccessful in dating I began to watch porn, now I am a porn addict. Watching porn was not enough I started paying for sex, fucking whores and prostitutes. This is what happens if you don't find a partner at the right age and time. I think God has not made a girl for me. Girls will never understand this. If you don't get into relationship, men will become womanizers and girls will become sluts. I wanted to marry and start a family. It didn't happen as I thought. 😞
Rough man, as I get older I realize how crucial our developmental years are (childhood, teen, and early adulthood) for both men and women, I feel like certain experiences & feats need to be accomplished before 25 or bad habits & inexperience will be practically become too overwhelming to overcome. I feel similar sentiments to you but I've never gone as far as paying for escorts BUT I definitely abuse porn to the point where it's done irreversible damage. I agree with that last statement, a lot women who stay single past their mid 20s, get passed around (in actuality jump from dick to dick in most cases because they are spoiled with options they don't deserve) and become old, abused, ugly and unloveable with expectations that are far from unrealistic that they are insane & absurd. AND a lot of guys who can't find women or stay virgins past their 30s become weirdos, degenerates, broken and incompetent losers that fade away in obscurity sinking further & further into Incel/blackpill/mgtow doomerisms.
Men should always operate in the realm of probabilities, and not possibilities. Is it possible that the "right person" will walk into your life, yes, it is probable, no, because there is no "right" person. As a man, you should focus on your career and increasing your socioeconomic status, a woman is a compliment to your life, not the sole reason.
Men can’t wait around for women to come to them.
While not impossible unfortunately it’s up to us to make things happen. If you don’t chances are you remain lonely.
Maybe you will get lucky and for your sake I hope you do. But don’t count on it. You need to approach woman and yourself in environments were they are around
Not gonna lie to you that’s bullshit if you want something as a man you have to put yourself out there, if you sit back and wait you might die alone or not get who you want or miss out the only way a women just comes to you first is if you’re really handsome other than that you gotta be more social and put yourself out
She probably won’t just fall into your lap. If you are picking up career skills, avoiding addictions (video gams, substance, porn), and stay in reasonable shape you’ll find that it might get easier to find dates as you get into your late 20s and early 30s. Be confident and not too worried about whether a woman will accept or reject you when you ask for a date, as women sniff out desperation and dislike it intensely.
That’s only if you are doing something productive in your life. It ain’t gonna happen if you are doing the same thing over and over with no ambition. Hopefully you are working towards a career that pays well. A girl will naturally fall into your life.
She might or she might not. It’s a 50/50 chance. Definitely don’t wait for the girl, go out date see where things go. Waiting is just wasting time.
First things first, get rid of the notion of the right girl. Relationships are all about compromising.
If you find a woman that is able to compromise like you then she is as good as is needed.
My whole marriage is a compromise. I chose my wife because she is funny and fun. We don't see eye to eye on everything, however we don't argue as that just goes down the wrong path.
Dude I’m 40 I live alone I live aboard in South Asia I work out ride my motorbike, and work online. Is 1:00am. You know how peaceful I’m sleeping now?
Before I wanted to FK normal none whore girls I started begging one Asian girl after another.
Not anymore! And since the C0ViD 💉💉💉 have been released need to be careful more!
"Walk in"? When was the last time something you wanted walked into your life? Does your career walk in? Does your boss walk in and give you a raise? Does your dream job walk in? Does your bank walk in and give you money? Does the stock market walk in and show you the right stocks to buy?
You are a man. NOTHING walks into your life. You walk out there and take it.
