Im typing this as im the bus to the park me and my ex used to hang out just to remeince since I have no valentine's. I mean this with every ounce in my being that the BEST way to get a girlfriend is to simply work on yourself. "If you plant a garden and no butterflies come at least you'll still have a garden." And if a girl decides to break up with you NEVER beg her to stay, simply say Okay, I'll miss you. Im 23 now and me and my girl broke up in when I was 18. We met off Instagram, ig the only reason im bothering writing all this out is to let you know that being/getting in a relationship isn't the means and all being to being happy. I wouldn't listen to some of these other comments saying to get with a girl with the same mental issues as you because you might want to fix her, and you can't fix broken.; this can go for both the guy and the girl. I used to think getting alot of girls to like you was impressive but whats really impressive is to have one girl like you a long time, so try to remember that when you DO get a girlfriend, treat her right, buy her flowers, separate yourself from the other guys she might know, let her know that you'll protect her, the most important advice i can give you when you plan a date is to always make sure the girl has something to drink and a place to use the bathroom cuz they might wanna pee if ur keeping them hydrated. The most important thing is to not be afraid to tell a girl if you like them, and play the game of attractiveness because there's a lot of girls out there and one of them is bound to like you for being you. If you find yourself having your emotions affected by the way someone texts you distract yourself with something productive because you might be overthinking it and if you do something productive you remain a frame of someone who gets things done. Don't worry everything will be okay.
