(Vent/rant) (28 M) Before I get into it, I just wanna say that I am very grateful for where I am in life. I couldn’t be happier with my achievements, financial situation, and job situation. Just am frustrated with my luck In dating. I’m a conservative and Christian individual. I also am a mechanical engineer so maybe there is someone else out there like me having this issue.
I’m simply in a rut right now. I don’t have any luck with dating apps anymore (I realize they are scams) and any in person connection I have just fizzles out or flakes. The other weekend I hit it off with a girl at a wedding and we talked for a solid 10-20 minutes and ended up getting her number. Even got a slow dance with her before the night ended. A week later, I have sent her a total of 2 texts and got no response. She has read receipts on and she hasn’t read the 2 texts after the first one I sent so she very likely is ghosting me. The one thing that likely turned her off was that we live in different states (8-9 hour distance I think?) but even then, I figured she would at least be courteous and respond to my texts telling me that. That practically is the story of me trying to find a girlfriend for the last 3-4 ish years. I don’t know if it’s something I’m doing wrong but it feels like I’m never given a chance before someone really gets to know me. My mantra is that if a man and woman think the other person is worth keeping around then distance wouldn’t matter. They’d find a way to make it work but like I said, I’m not even given a chance to where we could get to that point.
Part of my issue is where I live. I live in a smaller town and people my age simply don’t want to live here. There are no women around me. I want to move to a bigger city but I will not do that until I find another job. Being a mechanical engineer, the job market is absolutely terrible right now and I am simply burnt out after looking for a job for over a year and a half.
Some days, I just think it’s not meant with to be with finding a woman but I don’t want to give up. At that point, I’d only have my self to blame.
