I used to be a hopeless romantic.. now I'm just hopeless.

some people just date for the high of falling in love. I just wanna find someone that will care about me even when I grow old..

Honestly, no one will fully understand the harsh truth & dangers of dating or falling in love until they get fully involved in one themselves. The rest is just a matter of luck & time.

That's one of the processes of growing up & finding our true selves.

I’m not in the mode of dating, or even interested in being in a relationship though I’m not against it either. Dating apps are suspicious at best, and just intrusive at worst because it feeds on people’s insecurities, desires, and feelings. I’m honestly glad to be single, because it allows me to focus on my own goals, paths in life, and pursue my own passions/interests while striving to continually learn, be open minded, and seek knowledge.

Dating/relationships is that one area of my life where I feel like I missed a class in high school and failed to catch up. I struggle to make it a priority in my life now.

I also don’t understand how people have the energy for dating. My job has me dealing with people all day, last thing I want to do is sit in front of someone and tell them what my favorite color is.

Guess my bloodline is dying with me.

That’s exactly how I feel every day wish I had someone to love

[dradith]

I have been single for my entire life and I have accepted that I’m not going to find a date. Where my brother and cousins found their parents and/or have been in a relationship they subconsciously rub it on my face.
And anytime I see people with their own partners I feel anger, jealousy and sadness.
I’m 26 and I’m the only one on the family that doesn’t have any experience in dating and feel pressure because I see my family and the ones they have and been asked”when will you bring someone” I just respond with “that’s an impossible situation for me and I have accepted it”

And the only 2 times a female have shown interest in me is when there’s been no one else and/or is the literal last guy on the list. And I’m not taking the disrespect of being the last option of anyone.


Even though I have accepted that it’s not going to happen it’s hurts.

I once thought that the point of dating was to find that special someone, get to know each other and get married. How wrong I was.

Being a trauma survivor who's working on moving forward, dating is extremely daunting. Trust lost is hard to regain and give.

Met a lovely girl at a live event this weekend. She was smiling at me the whole time and never left my side. Hope she is the one

[maxiedits]

I'm not even able to make friends properly let alone dating, Everything is restricted here, Never been in a proper relationship as well, People are so toxic, I really feel like the outsider, No checks up on me, No one acknowledges my presence, They don't care if I exist or not, Why do I have to be the one who always approch others? Can't anyone approach me by themselves, Am I that bad?

[MrOberon]

I've been on nearly every dating portal known to man. A fucking waste of time and money. I've also been taking ballroom lessons at different schools, hoping I'd find someone special. No luck for years. I've been going to rock concerts and festivals, too, because people. I also work out regularly, have a strict skin and hair routine in order to stay as attractive as I could possibly be. I'm hitting 32 this year and I'm starting to think I'm cursed, or I must've done something terrible in a previous life. All my friends are either married or engaged by now, some even already have kids. Maybe it's time I admit to myself, that I'm one of those people who just aren't meant for love. And NO I'm NOT sorry for venting here.

For me it’s just to find someone who cares about me and who I care about in return and being able to support and care for one and other while making each other happy.

It’s okay if you want to date, or not! Just be yourself, and if someone appreciates you for you, then all the better! But never settle if you feel uncomfortable. You are entitled and valid to your own feelings. ❤

[lovebaking]

Im kinda scared to date because there are just so many crazy people ive heard of. (Like hookup culture, people who cheat, etc.)
And also hearing about the dating pool of today 😭👍🏿

[JoamG]

My first and only relationship gave me a lot of lessons, but in the end my partner never really cared about my feelings which made me question my own worth. Knowing the person first before you continue stepping to another level of relationship really is a must because it's not always fun and butterflies. If you're really in love, you will face problems together.. not run from it.

[kshitijkumar]

You described my past life since covid exactly. From being hopeless romantic, to reading every tragic stories on reddit is my pastime. Why enter the dating, when its horribly mess, with so bad ROI? IDK what to really do

[karrynlipsett]

All these reasons are exactly why I'm wholly happy being single. Life is too short to waste dating ppl

[The-Illuminator-ml]

Dating is just a way to distract ourselves from the life’s harsh realities. We’re all lonely souls looking for connection in a world that feels hopeless. It’s fleeting, but it may help make things somewhat bearable, even if just for a little bit.
