Search Results: not looking for a relationship right now

My mom, sister, aunt, and other family members wants me to go to college to study a field of whatever I’m interested in and get a job with it. And they keep telling me they want me to make a lot of money and have a family and etc... as the usual goes.

And some of my old classmates and friends post stuff online like on instagram getting into relationships, having families, traveling the world and high paying jobs. But I don’t want any of that.

All I want to do is get a regular job at a retail store or something and work for a paycheck, get a house and it have to worry about much. I’m not really interested in becoming rich. Because I don’t think what people do really matters in life.

Because look at this (average human life expectancy is 70-80). And right now I’m 22 ( so this is how I look at it). I lived for 20 years; and that went by fast for me. 20 years 2 more times I will be 60 and 3 more times I will be 80, if I ever live that long. That means soon I will be old and start my dying process of the issues I have now don’t kill me before I get up in age.

so that’s how I view life, and I don’t get why people are pressuring me.

I’m 24 almost 25 and have had only 1 girlfriend. It only lasted about 5 months but we lived together so it was pretty intense. I really love her but she left me and we had constant problems she was crazy and it was very hard to get her in the first place and later to maintain the relationship which she eventually ended she didn’t seem to care at all after she left and cut me out of her life completely. So it just seems meaningless now. It Seemed like everything went horribly wrong. I feel it probably would have been best if I never met her. It’s been 2 years since she left and I have had tons of one night stand been to bars tons of times and it’s just getting so old I’m avoiding one night stands all together, and trying to adapt a more spiritual outlook about life. It seems impossible to establish anything half way meaningful with a girl, and I have been single so long and it doesn’t look to be getting better. Before you say anything I have hobbies, I have a good job, I have goals. I’m told I’m very handsome from many girls. I don’t have some type of overwhelming character flaw. I have gotten lots of practice with different girls and I feel I’m confident. Yet I can never meet the right girls and don’t know where to meet them. Bars don’t work, cold approaches outside of that are just awkward and typically don’t lead Anywhere. On the rare occasion I do get a date they typically ghost me. Or seem to be using me. All of the different people and difficulty to establish a basic relationship is overwhelming. I’m happy a lone but I’m starting to feel my life might flow better if I had a partner. Because I’m constantly looking for different girls it would save so much time just to be able to establish something with one I think most people would be better that way also.
