i’m going on a trip with my guy friends soon (valleys, tourist spots, etc). financially i’m doing well, but lately i’ve been overthinking if this is the “right time” to find a woman and settle down. i’ve been working myself to burnout trying to cope.

on the trip i’ll be shooting instagram content (aesthetics, landscapes, etc) because i genuinely love creating. but i’m torn: should i just focus on 'building a fulfilling life' through content, or also try approaching women whenever i get the chance?

the problem is, i go completely blank when it comes to starting a conversation. i feel a bit desperate, and i’m not sure if that’s a healthy place to approach from.

there’s also a guy in my group who i think could guide me better in “game,” but i’m too insecure to admit how desperate i feel.

how should i handle this?
