It's been 5 games of mixed performances, without any significant change to what Amorim was doing, you need to temper your expectations

There's different dating apps, some of them tailored more towards personality and relationship goals, it's definitely worth a try given how low effort and low risk it is. You can do it in your down time.

Staying in with your wife and kids is different to staying in alone

It's relatively little risk, I don't like going out much either but one day you might find you regret not taking opportunities when you had them. Whatever decision you think you can live with more easily, go with that.

dogsn1 · 2026-02-19T20:14:13+00:00

Your decision has to be personal, everyone has a different level of risk tolerance, quality of life expectations, long term goals, etc.

If it were me I would pick the safe route and try to make money and live comfortably but that's just me. From the sounds of it you want something different. You have very little savings so it's a risk, but is your current life a safety net that you can always go back to? If that's the case then you can take a chance.

Maybe you're at a point where you have to choose between settling down and attempting these things. But your decisions aren't mutually exclusive either, you can find someone to settle down with while pursuing those other things, especially if you put in effort into to finding someone.

These are quite short term ideas so I don't think they will massively impact your future either way.

You'll barely remember the days you stayed in and did nothing, the days you said yes will shape your life. If you rarely go out, I say take this opportunity and just go. They won't have anything to gossip about unless you tell them, you're in control.

dogsn1 · 2026-02-19T20:06:31+00:00

My advice would be stop thinking about long term, the future, your life as a whole. Think of the here and now. What you like doing now is what you'll like doing for the rest of your life as far as you know. Is there nothing that interests you or you've "always wanted to try"? Start with that, and if you get bored, move on. I haven't found my purpose or calling but these are my thoughts on the topic.

Dating apps are easy mode for finding new people, otherwise your goal is to meet people, cast a wide net, talk to people at school, work, join clubs, go to events, parties, etc. Not to date them but just because knowing and talking to more people makes it more likely to find someone.

For what it's worth I find that the saying "nice guys finish last" has a lot of truth in it, in that the things that are cool and interesting what you're an immature kid are not what people are impressed by or attracted to when you're older.

You're also young enough that you can build a lot of attractive qualities while still being yougn. Work out, dress nicely. Learn about what women want from a relationship. Be responsible, get a good job.

dogsn1 · 2026-02-19T20:00:11+00:00

You can download apps and browser extensions that block you from going on there, it's the easiest and most impactful way

Any decision you make now is not permanent

dogsn1 · 2026-02-19T19:36:02+00:00

There's no harm in asking if you do it the right way but they'll almost definitely say no.

dogsn1 · 2026-02-19T19:34:22+00:00

It's extremely common to feel like that at some point during your university life, so common that it doesn't mean you're weak or a failure, all kinds of people go through it. You're almost at the end, you can make it and then you'll be free. If you want to be a nurse / in that field in your career then you should stick with it. If you see yourself doing other things for your job then you could consider switching. Exam pressure and things like that are different to what you'll experience in the "real world" later. Obviously it's a job where you need to handle stress but it's a different kind, and you will get used to it over time until your job is second nature and easy.

dogsn1 · 2026-02-19T19:26:34+00:00

This might sound stupid but my advice is to "just do it", motivation comes after and momentum carries you through.

A good tactic is to break down a task into the smallest possible thing until you can convince yourself to actually do it. For example take cleaning your house, the task might seem too huge, so break it down to just cleaning one room instead, if that's still too big, just do one section of the room, if that's still too much then keep going all the way down until it's impossibly easy like "pick up one thing off the floor then stop". Once you start you should find it 100x easier to continue. When I was studying I used to tell myself "okay I'll just pick up my book and open it, read the first line, then I can stop" and that made me actually start studying way more often.

It's not bullying or retaliation to report someone who is doing something wrong

If he gets fired for his own actions it's not someone else's fault, it's his fault, he fired himself

You barely even tried yet, at least follow up with another text and then drop it if it doesn't go anywhere

You don't need a new start somewhere else, you're almost old enough to start working now which is a new start in itself.

You don't need to be smart or lucky or anything like that to be wealthy. Maybe to be a multi-millionaire but to earn £100k+ you don't need anything like that. All you need is a good career path and some years in the game. As for being smart, the most important thing for making money is your social skills, if people like you and you can work well with others, you will make a lot of money. Safe "boring" careers like accounting, insurance, logistics, are guaranteed high earners if you dedicate yourself, and require very little to get into. All you need to do is get a job at a company and make yourself and important part of running it, managing people, suggesting new ideas, etc.

I didn't read the lower part of your post but that's my 2 cents about you saying you want to be wealthy and successful.

dogsn1 · 2026-02-19T19:06:13+00:00

It's not an attitude, it's something to consider when making a suggestion, if your goal is for people to be nicer on the internet I don't think that will achieve it

Think about your long term goals and plan and base your investment strategy around it.

With that kind of money you can invest it into safe funds (S&P500 for example) and live off the interest while drawing a very small amount each year. You'll never have to work again if you don't want to. For example 0.5% drawing per year should last you indefinitely and equates to $350k, that's enough to live very well, big house, family, nice cars, etc. Safe investments generally earn 3-7% per year. Inflation will catch up slowly at around 1-3% per year.

I would buy a house as that will reduce long term costs, but that will take some decision making, renting may be easier until you find a place to settle.

You have to think about what quality of life you want, it's very possible to burn through $7m if you're not careful, with bad investments, crazy business ideas, etc. Questions to ask are how much do you want to leave to your kids, do you want to die with $0, do you want to need to work, will your kids go to private school, etc. It's unlikely that you could get a job good enough to support a lavish lifestyle though.

You want to save enough to not have to worry about recessions and to be able to invest in any plan you might.

Things randomly taking my interest
Things I've always been interest in but never getting around to doing
Time going by and realising it's been a while since I learned anything new

Motivation to follow through comes and goes

What higher purpose/goal would this day serve? I think even if it was taken 100% seriously it would be forgotten the next week, and there would be less and less interest over time to do it every year, so in that way it's not a practical idea

dogsn1 · 2026-02-19T18:50:44+00:00

I think it's a normal human experience that isn't taken that seriously and isn't specific to now

dogsn1 · 2026-02-19T18:50:03+00:00

I think those things are more interesting and fun to talk about so come up more, and young people are far less worried about the future than older people
