I feel I've failed at almost everything

Roswell

I'm 33, I have no friends and this has been so for about 10 years, have never had a long term girlriend (only 3 short term ones, in other words barely proper girlfriends at all) and each career goal I had I didn't reach due to not being able to do so.

In social groups, pubs, on dating websites, Twitter, Facebook I get ignored more than other people, I'm apparently less funny or interesting. Except for my mum most my family patronise me and don't value any of my opinions even when I spend hours researching them.

Seems I have not succeeded at much of anything. I feel a bit depressed about it tonight. That's all.

  • I was in the same position so I tried dating websites, it took some time but I learnt how to be nice and charming and managed to get some meet ups.
    It was a tough learning curve and difficult finding someone who I seemed to share the same interests in, one girl was a racist cult leader the other was way older that her profile and finally I managed to woo a girl and I moved in with her. She is my 2nd serious GF and we have been together for 5 years. Its difficult and hard but I think dating sites is the way forward, without them id probably still be single.

    The way to break the ice I have found is to ask about their interests and avoid at all costs saying anything about their appearance, so id say hey I love that band whats your favorite song, then try to talk about their interests.
