I'm apparently too trusting, I'm too kind, or stupid, or giving. 26m btw. Every time I date someone it turns out they used me, for attention or money, or jealousy, and it's not like this happens often, 3 times in the past 10 years of attempts to date. But those 3 times are the closest I've gotten to being in a relationship that I was happy. Just missing the happy part. I've tried everything. I'm unwanted for any one who doesn't want to use me. I use dating apps, i go out to activities, I went to school and searched endlessly, no one wants me. And if they do it doesn't seem to be real. 3 people. 3 people "liked" me. Ended up abusing me, manipulating me, or ignoring me. I don't know what more to do. I keep a positive outlook but doing so for 10 years while looking for "the one" isn't easy. I make friends all the time, I try to be the best friend and person I can be, but it's not enough. I just don't know how to date apparently. Wish I could just fall into the role of supportive loving boyfriend and stay there. Ever since I was young I wanted a family, a loving wife or girlfriend, and eventually maybe a kid or two. Even if adopting. But it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Every year is just another reminder I'm closer to unfulfilled goals. Sorry, I know this isn't really something you can comment on and be like "hey it'll get better" cause I don't know anymore. Been 10 years of "it'll get better". I'm not by any means looking for ending things, or even attention. I just wanna throw it into the aether that I'm unhappy with how my relationship life has been, is now, and will likely continue to be.
