I don’t usually post things anywhere and pretty much keep to myself when it comes to my feelings as I feel no need to burden others with my nonsense. However here I am on reddit and just feel the need to put this out here. Maybe it will help, who knows. Anyways, I am a 26 year old male and I have not been in a relationship since I was just turning 20. After that relationship ended I found that I needed to work on myself and learn to love myself because if I couldn’t do that, how could I possibly care for someone else in the right manner. So I took the time to better myself, focus on my career and friendships. I am at a good healthy place in my life, I am financially stable, great friendships, and best mentally than I have ever been. I just feel as if I am missing one thing, a true relationship that has the potential to build and form into something amazing. I just don’t feel as if that is in the books for me though. I am not saying this because of failed flings and nothing ever working out…but mainly because anytime that I have ever even tried to talk to and get to know a female I either get just completely ignored and dismissed or ghosted. I have tried dating apps and meeting people in person at bars or big events and such, all with no success. I usually don’t care about being rejected because it happens and not every girl will give me a chance however after a few years of actually trying, I have had 0 success. In all honesty the longest I have actually talked to a female until they dropped me has been about 4 or 5 days. I have had 2 actual dates that I thought went really well and ended on a good note but I guess I was mistaken. Honestly, I have no idea what I am trying to accomplish with this post but here it goes.
