I’m honestly feeling a little hopeless about dating lately.
I’m very single right now—not talking to anyone, not seeing anyone. I recently went on a date with a guy who told me he wasn’t feeling a romantic connection. I went on two dates with another guy and we both agreed it felt more like a friendship vibe.
The weird thing is, I feel like I’m the most attractive I’ve ever been. I take good care of myself, I’m more confident than I used to be, I dress well, and overall I genuinely feel good about myself.
But despite that, I rarely get approached. Last night really drove that feeling home. I went out with some friends and had a great time, but I felt so single. 😂
Part of it was because my friends are all in happy relationships, and throughout the night their boyfriends were checking in on them, texting them, asking how their night was going, making sure they got there safely, etc. It was honestly really cute and sweet to see. At the same time, it made me realize that nobody was checking in on me. No good morning texts, no "have fun tonight," no "let me know when you get home."
I know comparison isn't helpful, and I'm genuinely happy for my friends, but it definitely gave me one of those moments where I thought, "Wow, I am REALLY single." 😅
What confuses me is that I feel more attractive and confident than I did a few years ago, yet dating feels harder than ever. Years ago, men seemed more interested in getting to know me and relationships happened more naturally. Now every connection seems to fizzle out after a date or two.
Has anyone else experienced this? Where you're doing better, feeling better, looking better, but your dating life is somehow worse? #relationships source
