I’ve tried dating but never had any success. I’m a 35 year old guy and have been single my whole life and I’m a virgin. I know no one is obligated to date me. It just feels so empty though. Most of my friends are in long term relationships or getting married.

I have asked out plenty of women in person, because the apps all I get prostitutes match with me. I’ve talked to girls I know and they all tell me the same cliche things like “it will happen when it’s right” or “let love come to you” then I get the contradictory “you have to go out and find love”. I’ve also had girls say the “I wish I could meet someone like you” line, but when I ask them out they say they aren’t interested in dating at the moment. But a week later they have a new boyfriend.

And I’m not angry at them, again I know no one is obligated to date me, it just feels like I’m not worth enough. And I’m fine hearing no, I can take rejection. But there are a decent amount of women who I tried to talk to or start a convo and ask them out, they look disgusted or laugh. One girl said I was too scary to date.

I just hate the loneliness I feel. I hate feeling jealous of random couples when they hold hands or kiss in public.
