Can anyone else relate to the experience of having HORRIBLE luck when it comes to dating and relationships?
I wanted to share this in hopes that it may help someone else feel better (or at least have someone to relate to). I’m a 31 year old guy, and i admit that im not gifted at dating. I’ve had one girlfriend before, but that’s basically it.
Nevertheless, I think of myself as a good catch though. I’m usually the tallest person in the room (at 6’6), I’m fit, and I think that my personal appearance (in general) is great. I think that my personality is pretty unique, because I genuinely enjoy getting to know people, asking them about themselves, and being funny in the process. Aside from that, I’m well educated and pretty successful in my career. I brought that up because i feel confident in myself and don’t feel like there’s any obvious “barrier” that stands in my way.
But I genuinely feel like bad luck stands in my way a lot of the time. It’s almost as if something always goes wrong when I’m trying to get to know someone (leaving me to constantly be stuck in the “oh well, maybe next time!” cycle).
There was someone i developed feelings for recently who seemed like a perfect match for me. We shared so many of the same interests, and had great conversations. I almost couldn’t believe that it could even be real (and then it wasn’t). She ended up wanting to go out with a mutual acquaintance of ours. I was almost in shock, because (on paper) I know that I have so much more going for me and so much more to offer than that guy does. Also, I thought I was the person she was interested in, but clearly I was wrong. It’s her decision, not mine (so I can’t beat myself up over it), but it sure makes you feel pretty shitty.
I feel like this has been bit of a pattern though. For me, it’s always being at the wrong place at the wrong time, being the right guy at the wrong time, having all of the qualities someone could want (but lacking some obscure trait that they desire), etc. At the end of the day, I’m still thankful that I’m me. I wouldn’t want to be anyone else. But I wish changing your luck could be as easy as trying new fashion, a different hairstyle, or something else that’s easily fixable.
TLDR: I just wanted to know if anyone else feels “snakebit” in the world of dating and relationships. Where it just feels like luck isn’t on your side.
