I give up. Every girl I meet and enjoy talking to ends up having a boyfriend or is obsessed with her ex. Every date I set up I get stood up or cancelled on. I haven’t been on a first date in six years. I told my parents they’re never gonna be grandparents

I'm a girl just looking on my boyfriend's account. Can I give you some advice? Try and find some friends. Making friends and meeting new people and going to activities and doing things you don't normally do will help you meet people in a more natural way. People on dating apps can come from a certain crowd because the goal is to find a partner. If you let your goal to be to find some friends then I think a girl who's good for you will come naturally. Go to bars, to events, concerts, even alone

And this might be a stretch but maybe see a therapist. Sometimes people can attract negative types of people (regarding the girls obsessed with their ex's you mentioned). Maybe some self improvement will attract the right crowd? And therapy doesn't mean you're broken or anything I like to consider therapy as a fun yap session. Hope this helps!

I really do appreciate the advice. I already have been meeting people naturally by going to things alone, but unfortunately those are the people that have a boyfriend, and if not, stand me up on the dates that we planned. I think a big part of the issue is I misinterpret a lot of interactions as being more that what it actually was, and I leave myself disappointed when I find out I’m wrong. I am seeing a therapist, mostly for academic related stress, but sometimes I do talk about these things.
