99% of guys seemingly find their girlfriend through friends. I'm assuming this is because every other method of meeting women is just absolutely atrocious and borderline impossible


Perhaps I just need to focus all my energy on having a brand new group of friends in hopes they can introduce me to somebody, but then do I get rid of my current group of friends who I love so dearly just because they're f-u-c-k-i-n-g useless with my dating problem?

That's not what she's saying. She's saying that you have to make time to meet someone and include them in your life.

Do you realize that you've made an excuse for why you "can't do" things, every time people have made suggestions for you?

Expanding your social group isn't a bad thing, and it doesn't mean you have to give up your current group. What about the party idea, where your buddies' gf's bring single girl friends? And a couple of single guys are invited?

You don't have to take our suggestions, OP; I'm sure you're capable of coming up with your own ideas. But the key is to switch from a "can't do" mentality to a "can do" spirit. If you want change badly enough, you'll figure it out. If you're still in "can't do" mode, it means you don't want a relationship badly enough, yet. Good luck, though. You deserve happiness. Only you can make it happen.

I've tried again and again and again to have my friends help me with my dating problem with suggestions like that to no avail. My friends are useless when it comes to this issue. No point in even trying anymore

That's no surprise. Dating absolutely sucks, there are no good options

I always suggest single men with little action learn Spanish. There are a lot of decent, attractive Latinas out there who want for nothing more than have to a good husband and some kids. The learning the other language will give you an excuse to get out more and Latinos will be very appreciative of your efforts, and you will enjoy the fulfillment of learning about another culture

And you will have beautiful children

I love Latinas but the process of learning a language at a later age though can be very challenging



I already have trouble remembering my native language of Armenian
