Dating : Do you ever feel like you’re never going to find anyone?
This past week I’ve been reflecting a lot about dating and I’ve fear that I’ll never find someone due to my high standards, fears and vulnerability. Does anyone else ever feel that way, I’d love to hear others thoughts.
Absolutely. I’m 25 and single for 6 years. I thought I’m better off being on my own and didn’t want to be in a relationship. For a while I was ok with it but unfortunately humans are social animals. Now I feel like I forgot how to flirt and I’m so scared of relationships and loneliness at the same time. I’m gonna die alone.
Often. Been trying for a while but at this point it just feels like the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
It’s more of a fact for me, rather than a feeling. Oh well!
Yes I often feel that way. I’m 26 (m) and I want more than anything to find a woman to marry and start a family with but when you consider that I can’t even seem to match with the women I’d want to be with it really feels like that’s an impossible pipe dream.
Maybe it’s my fault and my expectations unrealistic but I’d prefer to live my life on my terms than compromise because I fear being alone. It would be sad if I never found the woman of my dreams or had kids but worse things have happened I’m sure.
Painfully yes.
I’m turning 30 next year and marriage and having children seems like the top priority for me. Sadly I’ve been trying and trying to find a woman with no such luck.
All the time. After talking to my therapist finding out my mental illness, and that I’m a “love addict.” As well as a “love avoidant.” How the hell is that gonna work for me? Also seeing both my parents divorce quite a few times…aunts, and uncles divorces. Just seems like it ain’t for me. The best thing I’ve finally been doing is focusing on my health. Losing weight and staying in shape. My therapist also wanted me to stay clear from dating for a year. I’m actually just like that Good Luck Chuck movie. Except I don’t sleep with them. It’s usually a 1-3 dates doesn’t progress. Then I find out 4-6 months later they met the love of their life. This happens so much to me it’s crazy. Focus on yourself, and LOVE YOURSELF. Wishing ya all the best.
1000%
Always.
Sometimes, it happens. But then i remember that doing nothing won’t provide better results.
I graduated from a private school where nobody was interested in me. I am going into a trades where there are no women my age and on tinder girls will notice I don’t have much friends judging by my profile pics. And even if they are interested, I won’t be available to spend enough time to keep them engaged because I’m working full time and I am too tired to do anything by the time I get home. According to most, I do have an advantage in looks but that means nothing when you only have a fraction of a personality. I feel ya
Love is dead to me, I just know I’ll be on my own. I think some people such as me are just destined to be single so I try not to worry about it
Yes. Ever since she left again I cannot see myself experiencing love again. Hurts too much
Yeah sometimes but I don’t care
Constantly. I’ve met 2 people using dating apps and after that nothing. I’ve been single for a very long time, and the more I think about it the more I think to myself that I’ll be single forever.
So I deleted the apps and started working out. I’m trying not fall for anyone and trying to love myself more.
Yeah, everyday. And then I beat myself up for having slightly higher standards.
sadly yes, there’s no point in dating anymore to me
I do all the time, however I watch a thing once that put dating into perfect perspective, there are 7 billion people in the world the chances you found your soulmate within 20 minutes of where you live would be a statistic anomaly. Keep those standards and when the right person comes along the whole thing will come together easily. Never become something your not just to be with someone who wants you to be different to fit their world and vise versa.
Im so worthless, thats all I think about 24/7. I just cant do this anymore. I will never be good enough to meet the standards. I will be alone forever.
Yes I have felt that way for years. Feel it in my bones that I’m going to die alone.
Having high yet reasonable standards are a good thing!dont hang around just anyone.
I’m only 19 and about to be 20 in August and I’ve never been in a relationship. I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but I do anyway. Every girl I’ve liked has never liked me back. Almost all of my friends have been successful at dating except me so I wonder Everyday if I’ll find someone. But, it’s never too late for anybody.
