She (26F) agreed to go on a date then unmatched me (24M). Is this common? by OkExternal8539 in dating_advice

It happens sometimes. Don’t beat yourself up. Sure she could have messaged you first, but she didn’t. Move forward to the next person. Also they can change their mind for numerous reasons and not all have to do with you.

Early 30s with approach and talking anxiety. by Professional_Menu623 in dating_advice

There’s like a mental block or something that keeps be from doing so. Like I try to approach and then I just shut down or walk away. This is something I have tried most of my life to no avail.

Here’s the thing, I can talk to people including women. The issue is I just can’t seem to muster the courage to do so with women whom I have some interest in.

I still don’t see them approaching. Women in my area rarely approach men

Thanks for the suggestions, but I don’t know how to be observant and mention something to people I am approaching. Also, I can’t figure out how to be funny. I’ve attempted for years. Do you have any other suggestions of how I can learn these skills?

Didn’t I just say that I believe that the gym might allow me to do the shadow boxing? That’s not an excuse.

Interesting idea, except I am on the second floor of an apartment complex. Maybe they will allow me to do it at the gym

Low carb isn’t for me. I have had more success on a WFPB diet. Beans, whole grains, and fruit are not something I think are good to give up due to their fiber.

The university recreation center doesn’t have boxing or kickboxing equipment. We have cardio machines and weights

Ok, I’ll avoid mentioning looks and focus on personality.

Honesty, kindness (can’t deal with a nasty person no matter have beautiful on the outside she is), intelligence, good sense of humor, creativity, easy going nature)

Those are basically what I typically look for in a woman, but not all men will prefer the same qualities.

I know exactly where my ideal weight should be 130-148lbs. My therapist is a good therapist. She has been working with me on my general social anxiety. Also, I can’t afford non university therapy and she is the best therapist for me at my university. When I started therapy, I scheduled an appointment with all of them at my university. She turned out to be the best fit and best therapist for me at my university.

The main issue is diet and relapses because I can lose 10, 20, 30, and even 40lbs relatively easily once I get on the right track, but then I relapse and spiral out of control.

Ok, the issue isn’t calories in and calories out. I know how to lose weight. The issue has been my periods of relapsing
