30F starting to get scared I’ll be alone forever
When my last relationship ended three years ago, I reentered a dating world that had completely changed. I wasn’t keen to rush into a new relationship but I wasn’t expecting it to take this long. I’m attractive, funny with lots of hobbies and good job, so I thought it would be a breeze. Boy was I wrong.
I’ve been putting myself out there for years now and still nothing. Last year I treated dating as a numbers game and went on loads of dates. Most were only after sex and three I dated for a few months to eventually discover they were leading me on and weren’t after anything serious.
I know this isn’t a surprise to everyone due to dating apps destroying dating, I have a lot of friends in this predicament. But now I’m 30, I’m getting to the stage where my friends are getting engaged, married and buying a house with their partners, which makes me feel like I’m being left behind. I’ve always told myself I’d rather be single than be with the wrong guy, but I have moments like this where I just feel a bit lonely and want to discuss my day with someone.
I’m trying to do more in the community to meet people organically this year, but it’s a struggle. Men and women don’t approach each other like they used to. I go out to bars a lot and it rarely happens now.
Sorry this is a bit of a vent post but just been feeling a bit hopeless recently and worrying that I’m going to die alone.
