I basically ended stuff with a girl I've been seeing for a month. I really think I was falling in love with her, but I know that we just would never be compatible in the end (religion, values, backgrounds, education, lifestyle, etc.). It was like I had to put down Ole Yeller. So I've been really depressed for the past few days.
I'm in my mid 20's and my friends are all dating seriously or getting married. I just feel really alone, like i'll never find anyone up to the standards I'm holding myself to. I'm losing hope in finding who will be the best wife to me later down the road, a great mother to my children, and a supportive daughter in-law to my parents who I am very close with.
I guess I miss her because I'm in a new city and I rarely get to see my friends because of work/ their relationships, and I'm just tired of being alone. Did I fuck up?

no you didn't. honestly, start doing community things. Attend a church, get into clubs, just see what everyone has to offer and you may meet a new girl

Thanks anon, i just started going to a tuesday young adults church. I wonder what other clubs i could join
>>37961052
Are you in at uni currently?
>>37961181
No i graduated a couple years ago, I'm working in sales

hmm, see what your coworkers do. If any of them workout, go hikinig or (this pains me to say) watches sports, start trying to talk with them about it and youll hit it off. From socializing youll gain a web that will connect you with others

I guess I do have a good amount of friends up here, it's just so hard to find someone that's like me that also enjoys the same stuff I do.
I'm super conservative, old school, old fashioned...and i like really off-beat hipster shit, and most of these girls that i "fit" with dont enjoy any of that stuff.

I stick out like a sore thumb when i go out in those parts of town. I'm clearly a freak to those people, but I HATE the shit people do in the same social circle as me - just drink, watch sports, golf. I can do all of that but i'd rather be at a weird concert or doing something creative. and I hate to say it but the people you meet at those places generally DON'T have their shit together.

And I'm not saying those people have to be your BFFs, but try to hang out with them doing their activties, try to enjoy yourself and eventually through social events, youll meets others who have closer views to you. Just play it cool, and when meeting new people probe them. Ask them what bands they like, that sorta thing. Its not going to happen overnight though, as "normie" is short for normal for a reason
>>37962013
