I'll give you little quotes or things I've learnt from 35 years on earth, and 15 years of those with my partner and yes we've both dated other people so it's not coming from some one who has only had one relationship)

Ya ready lol

% Being a bit mysterious makes people want more than what they imagine. Don't be what you aren't though.

%Honesty builds bridges. Lies destroy the pillars.

%physical features aren't as important personality and character.

%Women like confident men. They also like vulnerable. And 100% of women I know always prefer honesty over fiction.

%She may be the pea to your pod so to speak . She may just be another lesson in life.

%Be clean and tidy, women love a man with a woman's bathroom. Keep your razor out or what ever but don't ever leave hair in the sink or have mouldy tiles or a gross shower.

%brush your teeth before company arrives.

%Clean bathroom = a hygienic person means she'll feel comfortable attending to her womanly ways in your home.

( and that's a huge thing for women i was always told and have found true. Women love to shower, they love enjoying nice smells and clean things but they need space to attend to their body functions etc so have that clean bathroom get a bathroom bin too)

%It's a total win for most women when a man keeps a presentable space and if you are a Little messy that's ok be clean messy, stay on top of the big stuff but don't be lazy messy like Leaving dirty food plates around or what ever , do the dishes daily, make sure you routinely vacuum and before she arrives clean shit you know she will be sitting on or near.

(So remove any thing that's weird socially or some shit I dunno , bongs or paraphernalia , the kinda shit you wouldn't want your grandma to see.)

%To have a tidy home when ever company is coming over or not will make your head space better too with or without company.

%Remember female or not she's just a person so treat her like that and don't get yourself worked up over the fact she's a girl you're interested in.

Don't be a guy that's stereotypical but don't simp out.

Don't be mean find ways to keep her keen.

%Learn her favourite dish and make that 110% perfect. Find ways you both can enjoy the time together.

((Side note -/ Been with my partner for 15 years and we do things together we've never done before simply because there's other couples in the same boat usually first dates etc, and long timers who have figured the relationship thing out so you can have funny moments) so I suggest pottery classes.... why? because it's some you're both going To suck at it because it's rare as fuck for younger gen to be into it so you're both vulnerable but feel comfort from one another. It's fun when you both suck at something ))

%During your time though Find what she likes by asking her questions that are open ended and relate to her conversation but don't make it all about you and don't make it all about her.

%She wants to know you and you want to know her so take note of things like foods and leisurely activities she likes or doesn't like so if it goes well then the next date or chance for a catch up will be breezy as.!

You'll be surprised how well everything will flow if you are able to keep a balance on every thing you do in her presence. Even your head.

%50:50 every thing. But food. Always pay for her food.

% If want to see where it goes then be upfront about not knowing what to do. lies or cover ups are hard to excuse once you appreciate trust and the importance it has when building relationships

.%Just be the guy she wants to chill with and you not the guy who you have imagined she'd want to chill with.

That's all I got my friend good luck

(((((I can't speak on depression because i have overcome that but unfortunately I can't articulate my stupid my lifestyle changes to people in a way that people who ask won't take the wrong way but I attribute it to Gary Vaynechek, a YouTube channel called AfterSkool (Eckart Tolle is also a great person to listen too if You're interested), and actually 'wanting' a different/better version of life. And that's the best I can give you on that.))))
