26F – Pretty enough to be lusted, not enough to be loved

[Himani]

Every time it's the same story... same sweet talk, same compliments, zero effort. Some actually try to keep up the act, but once they see my guard down, the cycle repeats. I'm absolutely tired and don't know what to do. I hate dating scenarios now and I'm beyond exhausted.

[Sneha]

Koi na, bro, so jao.

[Ishita]

I don't think you should be dwelling on this so late. It'll just mess with your head. Get some sleep and figure out how to choose wisely in the morning.

[Shilpa]

Finding someone like that is tough, but there are still good guys out there – like me.

[Charu]

Bhai, aise ladkiyaan kahan milti hain?

[Dhruv]

OP, go to sleep before someone slides into your DMs and the same cycle repeats.

[Devansh]

Taali ek haath se nahi bajti... you need to put in equal effort. Usually girls expect chivalry and a bit of simp behaviour, lots of effort so they feel like a queen. First make him feel like a king, and they'll expect that.

Hello, 26M here. Sorry for being blunt, but don't base a connection on past experiences. Go in without expectations, start with a clean slate. When you start fresh, you can be clear about what you're looking for. Patience is key to getting to know a stranger. You said once you let your guard down, the person doesn't reciprocate enough. Understand they may not see you the way you see yourself. All this takes time and effort, especially with a complete stranger. Hope you're okay, OP. If you want to talk, feel free to reach out.

[Sandeep]

You haven't met the real deal like me.

[Mahima]

Don't give them the luxury of occupying your thoughts! Dating is rough right now. For me it's always falling for people who are too far away, lol. Now I'm focusing on myself and work. Treat yourself, pursue your interests and hobbies. Eventually you might meet someone along the way. Trust me, it happens – I hope it works out for you.

[Bhavya]

I'm sure you'll find love soon enough.
