Long post: Need help on being motivated to continue dating/searching for a partner.
Long story short, I'm finding it difficult to go out of my way to try to use dating apps or do things that may involve romantic interest/events, or try to branch out. I just lack the motivation these days.Random facts about me that may aid you in giving me tips: I have been warned that Reddit may not be the best place to be upfront about things without being heavily judged, but I feel stranded with nowhere else to look for advice. Please try not to make presumptions about me and be friendly/well mannered.Physical aspects: Male, low mid-20s, above-average looking, did some modeling too (on the side, not my career), a bit over 6 feet tall. Asian. A bit on the thinner build, not "skinny" by any means.Objectively I believe I am decently attractive. I'm no Hollywood star of course, but I'm definitely not very unattractive either.Decently successful for my age, which has been a variable contributing to my shrinking motivation to date because of time constraints. I do have my life together and I engage in an active lifestyle. I always seek to improve my life in every aspect one step at a time. Not many people my age are rolling around in a 6 figure sports car with their own money.Still at the stage where I trade time for money, and exploring/dating also requires time.Sometimes I just want a breather and relax at home in the free time i do have, than to go on a date with a girl that I likely won't want to see twice.I am content and happy, but I want to share my life, that's all there is to it.Long story but I don't really have a family. With circumstances said, I turned out extremely normal, which is good! No father yet no father issues! My mental state is stable, and my values, norms, etc, are all normal.Until 12 months ago, I was in a 3-year relationship, where we lived together. The break up was extremely abrupt during a very low point in my life where i was temporarily unemployed. She felt like a family to me. Passionate love is the foundation, but the family-like bond, we developed over time was precious to me.In 3 months time after our breakup, she was with another man. In 6 months time, they are engaged and she moved to another country to be with him. It definitely hit my confidence, but I know better than for it to weigh me down in finding someone new.She has always been popular with men, during our time together she had to turn multiple men away, some are still waiting for a chance, some are attracted to her through her social medias. She was always faithful and turned them away swiftly and clearly.I do have women whom are attracted to me and initiate with me. But 99% of the time are unattractive to me.Perhaps my biggest problem is...high standards ( I am reluctant to even call this high standard...c'mon society! Shouldn't this be BASE standards?)Looks or face (and height, ex. 6'1 dating a 5'1 is rough) matters to me. I like to date physically attractive women (again, no need to be a supermodel or anything).Even small things can trigger me. For example, I will never let my date pay (i mean shes gotta really really fight for it), but if she doesn't even offer or fake in some effort, I see it as bad manners, and I question her upbringing. Things like etiquette (and sometimes formality) are important to me, especially on the first date, as I believe they show a lot about the person.I want a girl who can match/compliment me and each other/vise versa. Someone who looks clean and preppy enough that I can bring out to see clients/networks and be able to maintain her class, composure, catch social ques, support me in conversations, and vise versa. Someone who is my partner in crime if you will.I dislike immature and waste people with no or low life goals. "Waste yutes" if you will. My dating pool age group is mostly Gen Z. Which btw, is filled with waste people who are "figuring things out".Now, I am not asking the girls to be a superstar, but at least be employed, or stay in school, or study a certification, whatever it is, WORK TOWARDS SOMETHING PLEASE, anything! Eating off of your parents for 8 years is NOT "I am still figuring things out"!!!!!!!! (unless of course, a doctorate, or special conditions).I do NOT let these standards show or give girls that judged vibe during dates, this is just for myself. I'm actually quite down to earth, cheery, and comfortable.I DO give the effort to see these girls more even if the first date was just so so, just for benefit of the doubt. I have been minimizing this, as I think it is cruel to lead people on, waste their time and my time as well.To sum it all up, I just feel tired of meeting low-quality women (I've tried yoga, online, joining clubs, communities, etc), and in the chances where I do meet someone I am attracted to, I might not be good enough for her, or a better man got into her picture, etc, whatever it is, it is still difficult.Failure after failure, it feels like a tedious chore rather than an enjoyable process. I look at the TV and i think, there's a 100% chance i will enjoy this relaxation time. But there is a very low chance that if i go on this date, i will want to see her again. It starts to feel like a bad ROI for my time, and maybe that's why I've been losing motivation when my time could be put into other things with better returns. https://www.reddit.com/r/dating_advice/comments/ehuuai/long_post_need_help_on_being_motivated_to/?utm_source=ifttt
