Feeling Behind

[velvet fiber]

So like, in terms of romantic relationships I’m just feeling so behind in terms of my peers, and it’s really frustrating because I’m still really waiting to put myself out there due to appearance issues. I’m 23 and I’ve only ever been on a date once, and kissed someone once (which I didn’t even consent to), so also am obvs a virgin.

I like desperately want to be in a relationship, but I’m worried that I’ll like pin all of my expectations onto any relationship I get into which is why I’ve been trying to improve myself and waiting so long. I just worry that no one will want to date me because I’m so inexperienced at this point? Even when I put myself out there it’s hard to really find anyone via dating apps and other things like that. Does anyone have any advice?

I feel like my self-hatred is somewhat holding me back but I’m not sure what else to do because I just feel like I’ll keep falling more and more behind everyone else until I like don’t even have the opportunity to catch up.

well tbh, i think guys are more into girls who have hardly been in a relationship or so, unless they are looking for casual hookups so that is not your type of guy, well ofcourse i think you shouldn't rush into stuff just cus like things which are rushed aren't good. work on yourself and be better, someone you deserve automatically pops up in your life, sometimes its so random that its hard to believe just give it some time

if you need more advice/need to talk, you can dm

Ah I’m lesbian… if I was looking for guys I’d be less worried possibly? It’s just harder to find relationships when you’re LGBTQ
