Hi, so I'm a 23 yo virgin, I've never had a relationship with anyone, due to mental health issues. I've been doing therapy and I'm much better, but I still can't get a girlfriend, or even a date. I'm on a couple different dating apps and i can get matches quite well, but I keep getting ghosted after a few days (both me and my therapist can't figure out why). The only feedback I've gotten was a girl telling me that I'm the kind of guy who just flirts for sex (I am looking for a proper relationship).

So I was thinking, would it be helpful if I would start visiting hookers? If I can get the sexual frustration part out of the way perhaps I would be more focused on the actual girl and not my instincts? Then again it might also be something like a drug and make it worse. Thoughts?
