Dating : I have a hard time connecting with women my age
Im a 25 year old trans woman and I’m finding it really hard to connect with women my age. I find conversations to be really awkward and I also get the feeling that people my age avoid me.The women I seem to connect with are in their 40s. I’m not against dating someone that much older than me but it’s also a hard sell for someone to date someone that much younger. I started a new job which forced me to relocate to a dorm. I’m staying with a bunch people about my age or a couple years younger. I haven’t been able to connect with a single person here in that age range. I eventually did meet someone i really hit it off with but they seemed to lose interest when we found out that I’m 25 and she’s 41. I was hoping to maybe find some advice for someone who struggles to connect with people in general and is having an even harder time with people their age.
Edit: added a couple details
I wonder why you’d be struggling to connect with women.
Can you be more specific about what you mean when you say you can’t connect? Is it that the conversation is awkward? Is it that people give off the vibe that they’re trying to avoid you? Do you start off as friends and then just lose touch?
What specifically is going on?
