The time we live in right now is pretty rough. There are a ton of people who don't have much dating experience pre covid. I see so many people on here who are depressed and think they are the problem, or the other gender is the problem. I can tell you right now, the other gender, 50% of the population is not the problem. I am sure for someone reading this, if we all collectively came together and voted, yeah that person is just the worst. Most of the people who have never had relationships on here, are probably totally fine and there is nothing wrong with you at all. If you have never dated you probably are just bad at flirting and picking up on signals, all you need is experience.
The issue I am having, is it is so difficult to meet people! Dating apps are a nightmare. A bar or club is your best bet, but I don't want to date someone who hangs at at bars and clubs all the time.
I realized a few months back after my wife, the woman who I was in love with since I was 11 years old left me. I have a 100% success rate with dating / sexual relationship with everyone I have ever been interested in and have met in person. It is not a small number of people either, I lost count of number of relationships I have been in. The point though, I can't meet anyone in person anymore?! Of the people I meet online, who I find attractive, they find me attractive, we get along, maybe 1/20 will be willing to ever meet after weeks of seriously talking like 8 hours a day.
My wife left because of mental health issues and a small disagreement so she hid away from the world. I have one Ex in jail for assault, because she is an alcoholic who is obsessed and angry that I don't love her. Another girl things were going great, and then her ex messages her and she tells me that she's in love with him and ghosted me.
I have no concerns about finding someone who wants to be in a relationship with me. It is just so difficult, and I don't really understand how I am supposed to meet someone in person anymore. Also why are so many people terrified to meet IRL? "Life is not worth living anymore! No one cares about me! I am unattractive and going to be single forever!" IDK, I think you are attractive and would like to get to know you? "No! I am too scared to meet people off the internet". Okay we can meet at the mall or something? "No!". You all know like everyone uses the internet now right? You are not going to be out shopping with a friend, some attractive person walks up to you and tells you that you are beautiful, and proceeds to be dumbfounded when you mention the internet 🤣 "What?! Such a thing exists?!"
Okay my ranting is done. I hope someone who is reading this thinks "Oh, good point, everyone uses the internet so meeting someone online isn't that scary?!" And then you find the person you have been dreaming of.
