For reference I’m 23M, just got out of a 3 year relationship, and don’t have too many friends. I can count all my friends on 1 hand and most of them are guys who I knew in the 9th grade. Wasn’t able to make many friends in HS since I moved to a new state almost every year. I don’t have a personal IG account or any social media honestly because I just feel like it’s a big game of chasing validation, and it’s like your nothing but a number or a follower to most women on SM.

I will add that I do consider myself pretty independent, I have a full time job, my own car, workout regularly, my own place. I’d consider myself handsome, and have had women compliment me many times even in public on my looks. Attracting women isn’t necessarily my problem, and I do enjoy being alone sometimes, but I miss having that best friend who’s a girl who I enjoy spending time with. I live in a major city in east coast (Not NYC). I didn’t go to college and my mother tells me that’s why I have no “friends” but idk. Starting to feel somewhat depressed about it but I don’t let it get to me. Honestly feel like I’m just gonna start cold approaching hella randomly but don’t want come off as a creep. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated because I don’t wanna have to leave the country just to meet women, although I do have my passport and I am willing to take that trip. Things here just seem pretty depressing when it comes social dynamics.
