Healthy Relationships Support Group
No relationship is perfect. A long-term relationship requires constant effort to understand each other, fix misunderstandings, solve problems and continue to grow as both individuals change and evolve. How we deal with our misunderstandings is the focus of this community. Join us to find support, get advice, and share your experience with your relationship.
Hi Guys. Whiny old me here again. Just feeling frustrated and hopeless about my lovelife. I have been single for the longest time and have wanted to find that special someone, but it just doesn't seem to be in my destiny. If I date a guy I like, he doesn't return the sentiment (or really only just wants to sleep with me). If I date a nice guy that I don't like.. well clearly it doesn't work out. Why can't the feeling ever be mutual? I have been in love once, a true good and deep love that will never go away... but my stupid young insecurities let go of him. I worry I will never find that again. Its not like I require perfection, but just someone that I like/love enough to ignore the things I don't like about them. Thats how I feel about the guys I do end up liking, but I guess the feeling isn't mutual, not that I'm ever privy to their point of view... I am not good at meeting people either. I am shy, introverted, and not a natural smiler. The looks that I get when I smile at people (or at least I think that is what I'm doing) are not always smiles... Guess I'm just giving off the wrong vibe, but I just can't find the ability to change it.. I don't know where to meet guys either. I have done meetup groups, but don't meet any potential candidates there, I volunteer, again no potentials, I go to the bar.. ok potentials but no staying power, and I meet friends of friends but my friends refuse to set me up (not outright, they just say they would and don't). Does anyone have any advice on how to meet the man of your dreams and how to hold on to him?

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...
Also..try a new hobby.
Perhaps try Toastmaster to overcome your perceived shyness. Its a great place to help overcome your shyness. I belonged to Toastmasters for quite a while not because I wanted to become a great public speaker. I wanted to build up my confidence which it did for me!
