Hi guys,

This is more really a general lifestyle question as opposed to seduction related, but in general this sub has helped me become a better version of myself, so I'm hoping you guys can help out a pal.

To be honest, I've just been on a losing streak for the last year. Im not dead set on having a specific goal, but I'd like to end up in a good relationship. I've had various involvements with many women over the past year, but in general shit just hasn't worked out. I've had hookups, dated a few people, etc, but for whatever reason it doesn't work out.

Normally the advice I see is "dust yourself off and learn from your mistakes", which is what I've been doing. But it just seems like every time I get knocked down, it takes a bit more energy to get up. Takes a bit more energy to have that good mental frame we already talk about. A bit more energy to be that awesome dude at the party that people should just be drawn to.

The tough thing is that it's starting to feel like most my failures are outside of my control. I was dating this amazing girl for a the last month, but she just got a job offer across the country that she can't turn down. It's easier when something is so unequivocally your fault, since there's a visible solution.

So I'm in a tough spot right now. I feel like I'm getting continually pushed down, and its starting to wear me out. How do you guys cope? 1 failure, sure. Dust yourself and keep going. But honestly, I'm getting drained.
