Dating : Afraid Ill never find love. Need some reassurance
I (26f) have only been in one relationship that lasted 7 months and didn’t have my first boyfriend till I was 24. I’ve had things with guys here and there before then but they never progressed into a serious relationship. My ex dumped me and I was devastated bc I really loved him so much and it took me forever to finally find love. I am a bit picky but definitely not too picky. I have been single for a little over a year now and no luck at alll. I’m on 3 dating apps and I try my best to put myself out there but anytime I go on a date with a guy he just wants to bang or I don’t feel enough chemistry w him so I decide to keep looking. I really don’t want to settle for someone I’m not really into. I know that I am above average attractive, nice, cool, and normal but for some reason the odds are not in my favor and it seems like a never ending cycle of me searching for real love. I want to find the one but it seems nearly impossible. I’m terrified of ending up alone
Im sure you wont end up alone. Still young. Go out with friends and talk to people at bars. You can know if there’s chemistry before agreeing to first date.
I think online dating is difficult because it is a numbers game, and you gotta go through a LOT sometimes before you find a good match . If you are able to, maybe try meeting someone IRL ? Don’t turn down parties or get-togethers, maybe find a nice bar/restaurant to frequent with friends . Or, join a class or do an excursion . I know this is easier said than done, but a year and no luck is a long time when you’re actively trying .
