The mental block and also the fatigue from the last break up 2 years ago.

Confidence and weight issues, and I lost? Some of my social skills during the pandemic? I’m not sure how to put it, I feel like I can’t speak anymore.

yes

vaguely points at everything

I might also be too lazy to put any work on dating apps. Maybe I should start that again.

My last breakup was very traumatic, and it’d taken about 5 years to heal from that. Ready to date again, but it’s harder now that I’m older.

I’m not

Too sad

Haven’t dated since my 20s. Got cheated on a lot. Like all of them. Some of them even bragged about cheating, to my face.

In my 30s, I put 0 effort into dating. The only type of women that wanted to ‘date’ me basically wanted me to take care of their kids, pay for shit, but they weren’t looking for anything serious or any more kids (spoiler, that was a lie). Last person, someone I’ve known for years, asked if I’d be interested in having kids with her since we are getting close to 40 and neither of us had started a family yet. But, I was to be just a sperm donor, obviously be financially responsible, but have no say in anything with the kids… But it was totally going to be 50/50! Turned her away. That one tore me up because I’ve really wanted to have kids for a long time. Painfully obvious she just wanted me involved for money and nothing else. Now her mom is bank rolling all her dreams.

I miss having someone to talk to, to make plans with, to share wonderful build a life with. But I don’t miss the drama, the games, the cheating, and the lies.

Aspergers

Aro/ace here so no real interest beyond friendships for me.

My social skills are probably near null, I avoid interaction and just say just the bare minimum of words. And I get talkative then all I speak is about tech, science or history. Edit: And I’m actually fine as single.

Because I’m 31 years old, autistic, still living with my parents and haven’t even managed to do the deed with a woman. I have so many things going against me that I’ve pretty much accepted that I am undateable. Things are so bad that I am seriously considering a trip to Germany or the Netherlands just so I can go to a brothel and pay to have sex - because it gets more pathetic as the years go on. Nine more years and I will be the loser that Hollywood makes films about.

Doesn’t help that online dating is a cesspit and that the kind of ladies you see on your typical dating app are incredibly frigid and stuck-up. Not sure if it’s a British thing…

It feels like the only way you will get a girlfriend in today’s world is if you look like a fucking Chippendale or Love Island contestant.

Hold on. Let me ask my girlfriend.

I’m a lesbian in a small town 🫠

My wife realized she wasn’t happy being married to a man and left me to date women. There was a lot I think I could have done, but I can’t change my gender. Feels bad.
