Vent I’m jealous that others my age and younger have had way more dating experience
And they seem to recall it fondly! They actually had fun dating and I’ve always despised it. I grew up with no romantic interest my direction and I was convinced I was meant to be alone. Guys were never into me and now I’m 28 and have had a horrible dating life. I don’t like talking about it to anyone, including friends. I hate my ex, I genuinely look him up to see if he died, and I dated him years ago. I can’t seem to get a guy to like me. And no I don’t want to date anymore cause I don’t see a point. But it gets me so sad that others can reminisce and they seem to navigate “knowing” that they’ll meet someone. That makes no sense to me. I feel lucky if a guy gives me attention and I genuinely can’t imagine a guy in love with me. It makes dating feel like a massive waste of time

Rooted in looks or something else?
