Someone here that has never being in a date or asked someone to a date... Why?
Someone here that has never being in a date or asked someone to a date... Why?
I saw that other post about worst dates and honestly can't relate since I've never dated anyone, I just wanted to know if I was the only one here. That's it, you don't have to go deeper if you don't want to
You're viewing a single thread.
Emotionally abused as a child, strong fear of letting my guard down, worried that people hate me, convinced that I have nothing to offer.
I’m not perfect, but realistically I know that I could definitely find someone if I put myself out there.
I’ve been on a few dates from dating apps, but just have my guard up so much it’s difficult to make a connection.
Never asked someone out in person as I don’t put myself in those sort of situations. I was actually out at a club last night (one of the few times in my life) and I left early, so quite disappointed in myself today 🙁
Archie Gates: You're scared, right?
Conrad Vig: Maybe.
Archie Gates: The way it works is, you do the thing you're scared shitless of, and you get the courage AFTER you do it, not before you do it.
Conrad Vig: That's a dumbass way to work. It should be the other way around.
Archie Gates: I know. That's the way it works.
That’s good advice, I’ve actually worked that bit out and that’s how I managed to have a few dates.
Also why I’m annoyed at myself for bottling it and heading home early last night.
I’ll keep on tho :)
You at least did something for a while, I'm still at step 0 and don't see that changing anymore, especially at my age.
