Ive decided that i have no chance of ever falling in love again. The girl i used to love is getting married. I always thought we would end up together but i just didnt make the effort. And now…living at home with my parents, unemployed, out of shape…not exactly dating wonder boy over here. Im grossly OK with it though. I figure i will make some side cash with doordash and buy things i want. I made 70 dollars in 2.5 hours last night. I can save up to buy an expensive guitar or a motorcycle or something i want. Bachelor for life over here.

It’s difficult when we don’t have our health. I haven’t really been looking in a long time because I haven’t been up to it. At least need to fix my insomnia first.

Please don’t give up @pasteyface . I mean if you don’t wish you could have a love interest then it’s fine. But if you do wish you could have a significant other in your life, don’t give up.
Work on your mental, emotional and physical health until you’re well enough to leave your home. Then you can do activities with others like joining a walking group or a bowling league or something like that.
It’s true you might be single for life but it’s still a win win because you will have improved yourself and you’ll be healthier.
I know a woman who loves to have fun and who does not have mental illness. She got her first ever boyfriend around 55 years old. She assumed she’d always be single. She’s been happily married the last 20 years.
And my grandma was single from 50 years old until her mid 80s. But she met someone at around 85 and they got married. She lived until she was 100. She got to have love in her life.
Don’t give up!

I’m just working on bettering myself and maybe I’ll get interested in finding a wife eventually. Right now I’m not in good shape nor owe my own house. Which I want those two things fixed before I start dating.

I feel like when ylu have schizophrenia most of your time is spent focusing on yourself. I couldnt handle caring for someone else. Not to mention kids. I definetly couldnt handle kids.

Plenty of people don’t have and don’t want kids. Just be open and honest about that if you ever start dating. That way, you won’t invest too much into a relationship that won’t work. Not on the first date obviously, but early on.

When i would meet my unknown wife i would separate cause i feel sorry for her putting up with me.
So why ever get married? Ive givin up on meeting anyone. I deleted all my dating apps. I get no matches. I used to get lots of matches when i was in shape and cared for my beard and hair. Now im bald and rarely shave my head. My beard is long too and looks messy.

Doesn’t have to be. Most of my time is focused on keeping busy doing stuff or chillaxing with my wife when I’m not.

@pasteyface , I hope I’m allowed to say this since it’s in response to your insecurities. You are attractive. You’ve got nothing to worry about in that regard.

I am not just saying this to make you feel better, but you are definitely attractive. If you decide not to pursue a relationship, that is okay, but it shouldn’t be based on your looks. You’re fine.

Thats nice of you to say. I hate to say it but most dating apps are based off of looks. Id much rather meet someone organically. But the reality is i live in a town where most people are retired. I live in the country. And i never go out.
