Search Results: would you date someone younger

I just absolutely give up looking for a partner. I’ve tried almost every dating app. And am always single. Everyone I’ve known has been able to easily find a partner whether it be through an app or meeting people in person.

I have had “friends” previously that I’d go out with and guys didn’t give me the time of day. I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and regardless of how I look, people don’t notice me. I only get attention from guys that I wouldn’t date and that’s rarely. So that does not count.

Everyone i I know is able to find love without trying and I don’t understand why or how I’m always alone. It’s extremely unfair and I don’t know what else to do. I’m in my mid twenties and even though I’m shy, dating should not be this hard for a young woman. While I do have low self esteem, people have told me throughout my life that I’m attractive and this doesn’t only include family/ “close friends”.

Paid nor free apps work for me. I don’t have friends in real life so I rely on these apps. And people I’ve met are able to find someone without much effort. While here I am alone. I am that woman that is always alone. No friends or partner in my life. I’ve considered losing more weight and wonder if that’ll change the lack of attention I’ve received. What bothers me is someone I used to see for a few months was able to move on to a new girlfriend shortly after I stopped talking to him. I’m not into him anymore, it just bugs me how he is able to move on and find someone likes him while I’m always single. And people told me that I’m more attractive than him/ could do better.

Am i I the unluckiest person ever or is this the way dating usually is for most women? Because I don’t think it is.

A lot of people I know have dated a lot of people even tho they’re pretty young so I’m just wondering when everyone here had their first relationship. I’m talking about like a proper relationship by the way not just pretending to marry someone in the school playground when you’re 5 or something silly like that lol. Like a proper relationship with labels and feelings and all that

I've been through a lot in life (trauma from childhood to my young adult years) and my last "relationship" was very abusive... I was almost killed. I've been getting counseling for sometime now. I've been trying to heal and practice self-love <3

I'm not ready to date... I'm taking a looong break lol, but I wonder sometimes if I would be damaged goods or have too much baggage for someone.

Would someone's past trauma be a deal breaker?
