I thought I would open up a little because I’ve been on here a while and I trust this community. I’ll start by saying I’m a 37 year old man who has never been in love. I had girlfriends as a young adolescent, my teens and twice as an adult. I have never been in a long relationship or had intimacy. This is something I would like to experience but I have no clue how to get what want. Can anyone here offer advice, share your experience or shed light on this topic? Thanks.

I had a 16 year relationship. My experience? Awful.
After that I started meeting someone new, but he doesn’t pay me the atention I think I deserve. So I’m done. I don’t want to have a boyfriend anymore.

You say you want a relationship,
Then you have to put yourself out there and not be so hurt by rejection.
Rejection happens to all of us and you can’t take it too personally.
Have you tried the online dating sites?
You can participate in some community activities to meet more people.
Get your feelers out there.

I hear that Bumble is a pretty quality dating site and I believe there’s a free version too.
And I think on that site you can put on your profile that you’re just looking for a casual encounter/fling.

I’m not very knowledgeable, but not for lack of trying. Most girls I’ve dated deemed me “too nice” or even “too peaceful”. Others complained about me failing to get jealous in situations where most guys would. Finally, some dates have been pushy (either sex too soon, or talks of marriage and babies after barely kissing a few times). Since coming down with sz I’ve only seriously dated one woman. We’ve appreciated each other’s company but haven’t found many things in common.
I need to work on my self-esteem and assertiveness. Being a nice guy isn’t wrong. Having shaky legs around women kinda is.

why not try a dating site? I’d just focus on making female friends and if a romance develops then that’s good.
