Positiveone Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 My second 2-1/2 year relationship ended a few weeks ago, I'm 26 and male, I fear I wont find someone else awesome someday.. Is this a normal feeling after a breakup? I feel that because I'm getting older I'll have less of a chance to find someone that I really connect with someday, due to the fact that I dont party as much and covid-19 has ruined the dating scene. Any success/encouragement stories? Thank you Link to post Share on other sites
TeddyBundy1993 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Yeah this fear is pretty common and somehow many people never find a great match again. But let's look at the other aspect, we come alone in this world and we leave alone as well. So whatever is in between is luck and memories. There are plenty of people who are stuck in unhappy marriages wants to get out but are afraid of financial trouble divorce might bring my elder brother is one of such man. Be prepared for anything that might in your way pal. You are 26 right somehow you'll be in your prime soon. Be successful in other departments of life have a steady job a stable career and things will fall in place for you. As the break up is fresh you'll feel lonely for some time but you'll adjust later on. Keep meeting new people tho. Well for some encouragement my ex left me for a 45 years old man now is mother mother of his and she 31, so you never know what might come in your life. Hope for the best buddy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Blind-Sided Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Everyone feels that way. In my life, I've have several very good, and long relationships. After my exW walked out on me and her family... I felt that way. It took over a year to heal enough to get my head on straight so I could find someone. Eventually... I had a few girls I was talking to... and I settled down with one. I'm 49, and there were plenty of girls once I Was actually ready to find one. Anyway... don't worry. Someone new will come along... but only when you stop feeling sorry for yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
Wiseman2 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 You're at your peak. Get on some Quality (paid) dating apps with a good profile and pics. Set search criteria that is local and suits you. Start messaging and meeting women for a brief coffee. Also don't forget adding real-life situations to your dating portfolio. Volunteering, groups, clubs, sports, classes, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
lee179108 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I'm 29 and me and my ex gf broke up this year after 2 years. i also felt the same as you, fear of being alone and not finding anyone who is perfect for me and could make me forget about past relationships. I worried about family life and the future... since august ive met 2 girls that ive been on a few dates with, had them over at my house... 1 wasnt the right fit for me and the other one its still early days as weve only had 2 dates. I have no idea if it will go further, but at the end of the day there are other girls out there.. they can pop up just out of nowhere randomly on one day. In regards to your ex you just have to carry on with your life, i mopped around for a long time but then i just got back out there on the dating apps... sure it takes time and i still miss my ex... but hey, get out there and meet new people and you never know what might happen. It wont be easy, but patience is the key. Link to post Share on other sites

I still have those feelings and I'm 3 decades further on than you, and I have had new good relationships in my 50's, and still expecting more! The virus has f***ed it up for all of us, so bide your time. Link to post Share on other sites
kendahke Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Right now with covid, there are a gazillion couples right now that are finding out that they are with the wrong person for the wrong reasons, but they are getting ready to go back in lockdown with them and can't leave. You aren't one of them. That's one thing to be thankful for. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
PeteGer Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Well, it all depends. A lot of things increase or decrease the chances of finding a partner. And some of those things you can actively change. So, yes, depending on you and what you do or don't do there is the risk of not finding somebody. And there is never a guarantee. However, as said, you can actively have an influence on these chances.So it all depends on you, what you want, what you do, and a little bit of luck. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
