After turning 30 and not being anywhere near where i thought i'd be at this point in my life, i'm slowly trying to prepare myself for ending up alone. Given the fact that 50% of all relationships (100% of mine) fail, and that it gets harder to find decent, available women every time, the possibility of a life without a women doesn't seem so unlikely.
One of my problems has been that i've placed too much importance on having a girl. I've taken breakups hard in the past and i've been unable to be as successful with women as i thought i'd be. I have built up recentment and hatred towards women due to excessive rejections and failed attempts to hook up with the women i like. The rejections started to hurt and i'm trying to become indifferent and stop chasing.
Letting go of my original plans and dreams of family life with kids etc. is difficult. Luckily i like my own company, but i sometimes find myself feeling lonely and needy. I hate the neediness and i need to get rid of it.
Preparing to be alone means that i can focus more on other areas in life. I have a good job, own my own apartment and i play sports and work out. Now I'm working out for my health and not to attract girls, which is why i started going to the gym originally. What i really have realised is that you can't count on another person to be there by your side at all times in life. We are born alone and we die alone. We need to be happy just being with ourselves. It's difficult and it kind of feels like giving up, but it also feels liberating.
Have any of you guys ever just accepted that you may never have kids, or may never end up with someone? I will continue to try to date girls, but without any outcome dependance. The focus has to be on me.
