30M I dont mean to come on here parroting the same posts others do but I’m just having one of those days. I’ve never had a girlfriend. I’ve tried so many times and it just doesn’t work no matter what I do. I’ve tried randomly cold approaching, I’ve tried making friends with a girl first, it just never works out for me. The last girl I tried with was my coworker, (our job was going under so I decided to shoot since I’ll never see her again) I tried being friends with her, ask her questions about herself, paid attention to what she says, got her a Christmas gift, all to be shot down with that resounding no I’ve heard all my life. My other coworker said I did everything right it just didn’t work out. I just joined a new gym recently and I see a lot of attractive women at the gym that I would like to talk to, but from previous experience with asking a girl out at the gym, I decided not to do that. I’ve had dating apps for years and I just can’t get any matches I want. All my friends say I’m not even ugly or anything like that and I am somewhat fit since I do lift weights, but the constant rejection lowkey makes me believe that I am. I just feel like I’ve tried so hard for so long and no matter what I do I will never find one. I wish I didn’t want a girlfriend but I do and it’s hard to pretend like I don’t want one. Is there really nothing more I can do? Was I just never meant to be with someone I want? Sorry for despair dumping, I’ve just been so in my head about it for so long and I feel horrible almost everyday about it
