As the title suggests, its more of a rant but I am asking for advice on how to cope up with these feelings since it is a very common one. So I am a 25 yo guy living abroad, away from family and relatives all by myself and often feel incredibly lonely, much more nowadays since I won’t be able to see my family anytime soon due to the lockdown. I have a decent group of friends who are incredible people but sometime I just feel like I really need more, like a female partner whom I can love unconditionally and forever, and she gives me the same love back. I have dated before, been on dating apps for over a couple years now and went out with like 10-12 different females, all decent but nothing to write home about. The girls that I like or I start building up good conversations with often fade away due to circumstances, and everytime a match (whom I have met before) has the potential to become my partner somehow doesn’t work out, mostly because of things beyond my control – like me moving to a different place, or me being a rebound, them meeting some other guy etc. All this always makes me feel like I am destined to be alone, as I have never been in a relationship before.
Now to mention, I am a decent looking guy, with a decent career and good head on my shoulders. Nothing out of the ordinary, but I feel I am pretty set. All aspects of my life seem fulfilled except the love thing and this frustrates the hell out of me. I feel like my happiness at this point is just hinged on one factor that being me finding someone to love. Although, I am well aware that me finding a partner is not gonna transform my life or change me internally and this feeling of unfulfillment will always linger on but I don’t seem to be at peace with this fact. Often feel super lonely, bored and missing physical affection and touch and human connection. Any advice on how to be at peace with these feelings will be appreciated. I just feel that this virus thing has aggravated these feelings and I feel more charged about this than ever. Thanks 🙂
