Settling due to the inability to meet the person you want is and always has been very costly to both parties.

A failure to develop ones social skills can make you desperate, angry, lead to depression, a general mix of things or even worse.

Many people find themself in relationships feeling as though “this is the best I can do” though they would never admit this to their significant other.

Why do this? Why secretly bare this pain which can turn to resentment? Why do this to someone? Why do this to yourself.

I’ve seen people give up and go to very dark places where they think nothing happens but in reality everything’s getting worse. Places so dark that when a solution is presented they are so far gone they can’t fathom anything would help, in fact they respond with crippling fear or outright anger and rage.

For anyone who has gone through or is going through this, please know that there’s hope and help.

Dating is supposed to be fun and at times difficult but it should never break your will or lead you to think less of yourself.

Stay strong
