Just need to vent my feelings because I’m feeling really sad and frustrated, and I’m on my period so that doesn’t help either.
I gave my number to a guy I know from work (I’m a bartender, he’s a regular). We’ve had really good conversations and there seemed to be a really good vibe between us. I haven’t heard from him and I feel really bummed.
I don’t feel that kind of connection with many people and it just sucks. I’ve really been trying to put myself out there more and express interest when I feel it. I’m on the apps, have done speed dating and singles mixers, and I’ve had no luck.
I’ve gone on dates, but there’s rarely a connection. When there is, it fizzles around date 3.
Rationally, I know that I have also been the one to turn people down or end things. I know it’s not personal. But man do I take it personally when it’s me.
I’m 32 and have never been in an adult relationship. I know I’m not the only one struggling with dating out there. It’s just so hard, and I’m honestly ready to give up at this point because it hurts too much to get my hopes up anymore.
