How can I regain my confidence and get out there to meet people again?

Question - (14 October 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 21 October 2008)
A male United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm a 22 year-old guy who previously enjoyed going out and found the ability to have sexual relationships a relatively easy one. Unfortunately, I hit a bad patch regarding that matter about two years ago, one that I have not been able to recover from since.

My close friends tell me that this is because I always have sex on my mind, but that is not true, and even if it is, it worked for the four years prior to that. I have now become so down about myself and so lacking in confidence that I do not even look forward to going out and meeting new people, which I know does not help my case, but is inevitable after the various rejections and dates going wrong over the past two years.

Does anyone have any solutions or ideas to my deep-rooted problem? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hey,

I think your issues are psychological. If you let your problems get to you then ultimately other people will see that and react to that itself. I think you need to just let go of your problems, if it was something you didn't or couldn't fix. Don't let it become you because if you do it will destroy anything you have after that.

If it's not that, it could just be that your tired of just casual sex. Maybe you want something more than just sex and the people you're meeting are the same types that you met in the past. Ones who want just the casual sex. If that's the case, I suggest just going somewhere where you normally wouldn't to meet someone. Join a new gym, go to a local coffee shop, bookstore, volunteer, etc.

Well hope I helped a lil,

Take care!
