Hi everyone, I am 24 and I live in northern Italy. I am really starting to lose hope that I will find someone, because both online dating and real life dating are a disaster for me.

With online dating and dating apps I almost never have any match or like. I know I am not the most good looking guy out there, but I wouldn't define myself as ugly. I am also the type of guy that answer as soon as he can in and in a proper way, but with most girls I only get quick and meaningless answers. I know there are a lot of matches and answering properly to everyone is not feasible, but not seeing any interest makes me lose the willing to try. I have the feeling that when girls see a guy interested and motivated they get bored because it is too easy.

With dating in real life sadly I have almost zero possibilities, my friends are basically all male and I work in a male dominated environment, so I basically meet no girl.

I know that maybe I should focus more on my life and on my work, but I really really like being in a relationship, having someone I care about, that I can listen to and make her smile. I know this might sound pathetic, but I am getting tired of continuously trying without any success. I don't even know what am I doing wrong and starting to doubt myself even more.
