I really feel like I'm alone on this, and this seemed the best thread to post in for it, but does anyone feel like you may never find someone that interests you? Like you found it before and the relationship ended, but there's no one else and you were lucky to have found the other person? I don't want to complain, but 4 dating apps, and literally everyone is a no go. I blame it on the city/area I live in. Either I don't find them attractive, they have qualities I don't want in a partner, they have or want kids, they're very religious, or they live far away. Aside from someones dating profile, I look at their "match" questions. There are some questions with answers that I would consider a "deal breaker" because it can say a lot about the person. I also fear that I won't find someone that will understand my mental disorders/health issues and where I came from/how I grew up- how it traumatized me, and maybe it may take me a while to open up and talk about it. It doesn't help that dating apps are getting worse and are limiting interactions. I have no friends nor do I go anywhere or know any other way to meet people. That was my issue in the beginning where I had bad luck with irl dating so I had no choice but to try dating apps, and still had terrible luck. Now I feel like I'm at a loss and will end up alone, which is really hard for me to handle. It's eating me alive. Can anyone relate? /rant
Absolutely, I have that happen all the time. I actually dislike getting to know people because at the end of the day none of us are original or exciting or unique. We mostly all have the same complaints, worries, issues etc. it just comes in a different “package” (i.e. person) which really bores me, so my “relationships” last between 3-6 weeks usually lol.
This is really random and I promise there's a reason for it lol. Is anyone here in their 30s and dating?
1 year anniversary with the girlfriend. I don't know why she's still with me cuz I have a lot of issues and a drinking problem but I'm glad she is, sorry if I made that sad lol but it's the truth.
I never post bc everyone rightfully yells at me for bringing up my ex But today he went to my moms birthday brunch with me/my family and looking at the picture I just had this sweeping sadness of what will never be, if that makes sense Like it started off in my head as a joke of calling him my husband and then I just got really sad realizing how that won’t ever be true for so many reasons and it was just sad Usually I feel pretty okay about the state of our relationship and have accepted it overall but some stuff still hurts out of nowhere
I'd say it's OK to talk about your ex. Why did they come along? I hate that feeling of regret/sadness
