I 25F seem to be turning a lot of guys off and not sure how to change.
I’m not asking for a provider, X days before sex, marriage tomorrow etc. just dating with intent but mentioning that just seems to end it all and I’m getting ghosted. Im already a quite serious/intense person but do lighten up after stability/trust/safety is established. I don’t feel that I’m forcing connection and have mutually ended things before. Im told to get a church guy but I’m not religious or a believer & done pretending to be. I don’t mesh with anyone too progressive or conservative. I feel uncomfortable with younger guys (due to having a younger brother) and men over ~35. You get it… we all have our quirks/preferences but I feel like a walking contradiction wanting “courtship” but not being fully traditional/religious.
How do I actually move forward and “secure” a partner without being someone I’m not?
