I hope everyone is doing great.

I am 33 years old, male, South Asian, thin and 6 ft. tall based in Stockholm. I had been quite a workaholic in past and chasing startups but recently changing my work life balance. I had already 5sh failed startup in last few years. Now I am confident, quite successful in my work like, leading and coaching people in my teams.

One area of life I have never paid attention to so far was dating. It has been ok for me until now because I always prioritized my startups against everything in life. Lately, It started feeling like that maybe I have missed the train and I should be focusing a lot more on my dating life and meet someone. I have good social circle of mixed friends but mostly committed. In past, I always prefer to had committed friends only with the thought that single female friends will distract me from my purpose of startups.

Last year, Jan 2020, I got all the major dating apps (automated some of the initial conversations) but no results. Got very few matches, even if it match, people don't reply. It was frustration and ended up uninstalling them with no dates.

Later around Aug 2020, I came to know about day gaming. I bought the services of a coach but haven't got any results so far(mostly because I wasn't out that much). I have already approached over 100 girls in the city so far and has been on 2 dates only. It's easy for me to approach and start conversation but I might still need to learn other gimmicks.

Recently, Jan 2021, again installed the major dating apps, have been spending a lot of time but no results except couple of matches and no dates at all.

Now, sometime I have thoughts about buying sex which I have managed to control as I wanted to keep it natural and organic and don't want to do something I regret later in the life.

I feel like I am doing something wrong here. It's like food in your teeth that I cannot see and need someone to tell me where I am going wrong. It's sometime very demotivating for me but I keep myself busy to avoid that. I want to fix the problem itself permanently instead of avoiding it.

My goal isn't to sleep with countless women but meet someone decent and stick around. The request here is to know how I can do better. How to figure out the mistakes I am making. So, any ideas, tips etc. will be really appreciated. Once understood, I am gonna make a 4-6 months plans and work on it religiously to achieve the desired results.

Have a great weekend.
