2015 was by far the best and worst year of my life. This was the year I decided to date seriously. I put my heart and soul into putting myself out there. I tried several dating apps and perused them religiously. I've gotten dozens of dates. To put it short, last June, I got a DUI when I was dating someone for a few months. I was utterly embarrassed, humiliated, and I haven't been the same since. Since September, I have been dating this girl who lives in my secluded hometown; however, she is moving to Mississippi on Tuesday. I feel absolutely crippled, depressed, and lonely. I fell in love with her, despite the fact that it is almost entirely unrequited and unreturned.
When I decide I like someone, I go all in. I love talking to them everyday. I love texting despite that everyone on this subreddit seems to only use texting to plan dates instead of conversing. I plan our dates down to the smallest detail. I give so much more than I take. Despite the dozens of dates I've been on this year and seemingly making the same mistake every time, I feel like I have learned nothing. My approach hasn't changed at all with all this experience. I am extremely romantic and loyal to a fault; however, somewhat because of this, I am extremely insecure, overthink constantly, and needy. Because of my baby-face, short and skinny stature, I have internalized the roles and expectations of the 'cute, sensitive nice guy who is great at being a caretaker but doesn't qualify as a man with sexual tension."
Starting December 3rd, my license was suspended to a DUI. Now that this girl I'm dating is moving soon, I feel like I can finally move on and work on myself until my suspension ends in June. I need your help, Reddit. I want to feel more confident in myself, change my approach, bulk up, work on my game, etc. I live in an extremely secluded area of LA with just a few home friends that I don't see that often. Despite this, I feel like I can take advantage of the time to myself. Please help me become a better man, Reddit.
