I (M25)think I hit a breaking point today. I’ve always tried to do things right. Got a masters, built a stable job, go to the gym almost every day. A big reason for that was my uncle. He never found the right person and ended up single, and growing up I told myself that wouldn’t be me. But today messed with my head a bit. At the gym I saw couples and in contrary guys around my age who just looked really low. I ended up talking to one guy, he’s 29 and a good guy, and he said he’s been trying for years but still doesn’t know if he’ll ever find someone. That stuck with me. It’s been about 6 years since my last relationship. In the past 3 months, I’ve asked two women out. One said no, the other gave me her number but never replied. I’ve been working on myself for years, not just physically but overall. And still, I can’t shake this feeling that maybe I’m heading down the same path I was trying to avoid all my life. Has anyone else felt like this? Does it get better? submitted by /u/Different_Clue_2864
