Lul this thread resonates with my feelings so much earlier this year. lemme drop some hints:
bio: soontobe 30yr, had couple long relationships which got fucked over. boom, ive lost my youth and im an adult, and have no idea how dating world works.
1. forcing yourself to look for a new girl for a relationship doesnt work. it just doesnt. your desperation shows right through. FINDING A COMPANION isnt a task or a job or a project you can grind through and complete.
2. Instead find yourself again while keeping yourself accessible. its gonna be hard because you know its better when in relationship, but you gotta enjoy yourself first if you expect someone to enjoy you.
3. So the main thing is to keep accessible. if your social circles, job, etc dont introduce yourself to new people, get on the game. use several approaches. tinder. going outside on weekends with friends. new hobbies where you meet new people. Learn to socialize and like it.
4. so now you need to make yourself attractive, this is a thing you can grind like a man. get fit. get stuff on your daily routine you like, books, movies, hobbies, things you enjoy. things to achieve. get your manliness going on, youre here to conquer life, take it by the horns.
After a while you start enjoying being you without anyone, and you got your own shit going right and nice. thats when the magic happens, because thats what girls like, you are a succesful fit man, enjoying life, not a creep who desperately tries to find a woman.
i went throught the emotional rollercoaster, got my shit together and stopped being a martyr, and ive enjoyed meeting so many new women, and actually found someone im trying to go serious with. just hang in there mate.
