I 25F was never interested in dating as a teen, my early 20’s where more complex because the pandemic hit, I struggled with my mental health and my self esteem, also I barely met anyone new during my college years. And that brings us to present day. I’ve been craving a romantic relationship for the last year and a half, but I’m genuinely struggling to determine if it’s something that came up “organically” or if it’s just because it is what society expects from me.
Seeing people around me getting engaged, married or getting into relationships makes me feel that I’m falling behind. I’ve only ever been romantically attracted to one person in my whole life and I always thought that romance was something that just happened, but I feel like I put myself into a corner and I missed all my chances when I was younger. Now I’m struggling to take the initiative and have made zero progress despite how much I want to find partner.
