So I’ve read a lot of places that women sense desperation and as someone whose lonely I’m worried I may come off like that. I guess it’s the idea that validation is wrong even though I believe we’re biologically programmed for that stuff and we’re not really meant to be completely alone.

Anyways, what are ways I can avoid this or know if I’m doing it right especially on a date since I’ve only been on one date. Btw I go to the gym, I groom and take care of myself as best I can, I’ve improved my social anxiety, I act narcissistic sometimes because I am so sometimes people think I’m uninterested in them a lot because for example I’m horrible at texting. I usually never text unless it’s for a good cause. Anyways, I do all the stuff required to “be happy being alone” but I’m still lonely and want a girlfriend. I’ve done hook ups and sex is totally great, i watch things like Todd valentine or charismaoncommand for help. I occasionally hire escorts but all in all I’m still lonely and I’m afraid of appearing that way in front of women.

I only admit this stuff to close friends, I have told some women that I want a girlfriend but it was more in context and they were friends. But I never really go deep into it. I felt he need to include it because I’ve posted similar stuff about dating on other subs and sometimes people assume as if I’m going around to women saying I’m lonely so fuck me lol.
