Re: Dream about meeting a girl
@TheNightmare No problem!
Also if you pursue your hobbies and stuff like that you’ll eventually meet someone because things like hobbies lead to friendships and relationships

Re: Dream about meeting a girl
@TheNightmare I’m a 19 year old guy and I’ve never been in a relationship so I know how you feel
The advice I would give is don’t feel bad about yourself because you’ve never been in a relationship, it takes some people longer than others to start having relationships and thats ok, especially these days when meaningful connections are becoming harder to find and covid has taken two years away from our lives, and just remember that society pressures young people to be in a relationship and lose their virginity way to young, like people expect you to lose your virginity at 16, which is ridiculous because you can’t even have driving lessons at that age, so theres no need to feel ashamed about being single or virginity no matter what society says
So just take your time if you have to, and don’t rush into relationships because if you rush into something like that its more likely to not end well, but if you take you time and be patient and try and find relationships irl rather than online you’ll eventually find the one
Good luck you’ve got this!
@JMMV2005 Thanks for sharing that and for the encouragement! You're right—there's no need to rush, and taking time to build meaningful connections is what really matters. Appreciate the advice and positivity!

Re: Dream about meeting a girl
Hey @TheNightmare thanks for reaching out 
I can understand your worries about having a relationship - your fears of potentially bad experiences are definitely understandable. I suppose as with most things, there will be ups and downs when looking for a romantic relationship, but there will be someone amazing out there for you 
Are there certain aspects of dating apps that particularly concern you? I know they're not for everyone, but they can still lead to long-term relationships (speaking from my own experience! )
