Not sure what you mean - English isn't my native language. And no, I'm not trolling, just trying to understand the situation and getting tips on how to handle these types of situations better in the future.
Then I hope some of the guys that posted here helped you handle these type of situation better in the future. But you know that no matter how many and good the tips are, they mean nothing until you put (some of) them in practice, you know...
We all discovered this site because we were not amazing at all this, and probably all of us still have some/a lot of work to do in order to make our lives better. But if we don't see it as it is(a problem we can fix), we can not improve.
My friend I was telling you about is saying the same things as you did earlier:
"I'm starting to divert from that. I have a day job for stability, and a passion that also makes me some side income on the side, which is my real passion. It takes up a big chunk of my spare time. I'm not an outgoing person so I don't actively go out and look for women, as I see no point in that "
But truth is, for him and probably you too, you want women in your lives just like the other 4 bilion testosterone fueled men in the world. It's normal, we all want that. Otherwise we wouldn't be here.
So accept your nature and do something about it if you want things to change in the future.
If you don't I guess we just talked to help pass time until we eventually die.
Good luck in your future experiences. Except luck doesn't exist, we make it ourselves.
