Anyone relate? I really can't date because of my physical and mental health and covid, plus poverty, but god sometimes I miss intimacy.

Sometimes I feel like I deserve this because I broke three women's hearts. And I'm truly sorry for doing that. I'm happy they're doing good now, one is even married! But I miss having someone who loved me and accepted me, someone who had my back, you know?

    I some times fear it's getting later and later for me to find a relationship or even have sex. Money is an issue to but the best advice I heard is that if someone likes you don't need a fancy dinner just something that shows your affection to hang out.

    Maybe it's easier for me since I don't know what I'm missing out on but I still get lonely. This is were I make a joke about being volcel or at least convince myself I am. I can't be incel because I don't hate women just super shy and anxious.

    Great on your for being happy for your exes though. Hang in there Soros, I have hope for you. Wish me luck too. No matter what happens I hope you find happiness. :heart-sickle:

      Idk how old you are but I didn't have sex until my mid 20s. It's funny because once I did, it was like the floodgates broke and suddenly it was so easy. I think I was just very in my head about it. Eventually though casual stuff felt kinda empty to me so I calmed back down.

        28 I hope so. Might have been good I waited though, I feel like I matured a lot. I say this unironically, I know what kind of humor I do all day but feel like Wmill now is wiser than 18 yo Wmill and I'll keep getting wiser. I've resisted doing any jokes so far.

      No you don't need anything fancy at all!

        I'm still fancy as I drink my tea with my pinky up. This is not innuendo just to be clear just a spongebob joke btw.

            On a more serious manner though your right. I guess the fancy dinner thing is a hold over expectation that this capitalist society pushes on us you know? I joke but I do try to look higher class but because I think no one would date me if I didn't.

            Edit made an unintentional manner and fancy joke I'm sorry :sadness:

              Honestly I've never been on a "traditional" date so to speak. When I meet a girl, we usually just hang out in my car or hers and usually make out a bit and get to know one another. So there's that.

                I've just never been on a date if I'm being honest. I would like to some day, just hope women my age don't mind how much of a dork I am.
