I, 26F, have had an extremely hard time with dating. I’ve been single for 3 years, and the relationships I had prior to that were absolute messes, all mentally ill & unemployed men. I’ve tried online dating, meeting people through friends & family, in the wild, through my hobbies (mostly female dominated), and of course local bars. Nothing sticks, I usually get ghosted or don’t make it past the first date.
I’ve been trying these past few years to put myself out there, I’m pretty open minded & don’t have an absolute type (if you lined up every man I’ve been attracted to they all look extremely different) I mostly care about personality & if they align with me on morals/politics.
A lot of the men I meet aren’t over their ex’s, only want something casual, or see me as a placeholder until they find someone “better”. I know I have so much to offer, I’m kind, caring, artistic, smart, funny, active, & I like to think I’m pretty attractive.
How can I get someone to see how amazing I am?
I can’t handle another man fumbling me, I know I’m a great catch so why am I not landing in anyone’s mits?
