30 year old woman on dating apps, so ashamed
I can’t believe I’m saying this but
In my 20s, I never understood why my friends got excited by the men they met. For me, I would have crushes and meet nice guys and soon realise they never saw me in the same way back and therefore I never got opportunity to date
Over time I just learned to give up.
I had a brief thing a few years ago and we instantly clicked and connected, had intimacy for the first time, fun dates and stuff and I thought gosh this is what my friends are so excited about and what it’s like to have someone like you. It felt nice but it only last a few years before he told me he ‘thinks I’m lovely but I don’t see you in that way.’
Tried to meet other guys since, yet it’s the same thing, guys never like me back. I’ve even tried asking guys out myself with no luck which is so embarrassing and I feel so much shame
I’m very sad about all this. I want to settle down and have a family, only one out of my friends that have not had a partner
People say to join clubs and stuff and I’ll meet someone there, but I never understand it, I do all that but I never come across single guys and if I do, they are not interested in me in that way. I don’t know how to change that
Im otherwise very fit, like doing my hair and makeup and dressing nice. Guys look at me and ogle when im walking down the street but thats as far as it ever goes.
Very worried , just joine dating apps with no luck
