Got myself extremely hyped up to go on a date with a girl I met who was exactly my type (yes she supports Trump) and seemingly out of my league. Everything seemed to be going very well, she was texting me constantly and trying to make plans with me after I first asked if she wanted to go out.
Then we went on what I thought was a “date” but perhaps wasn’t. After we were done eating she said she was going home about 10 min later.
I don’t know what went wrong and I guess it doesn’t really matter now. But I really feel like shit and idk what to do. My job makes me stressed and sometimes I think about destroying my career rather than showing up for work on Monday. The election has been destroying my positive mindset in every way imaginable. I was so happy when I thought I might be building a relationship with a girl who I felt was a perfect fit for me and thought things might be turning around. Now I feel much worse than before I met her... even feeling worse than when Trump lost the election.
I know this is a bit pathetic but I really don’t know what else to do but ask for advice here. I appreciate any advice you can give me for dealing with this situation. PS no Hillary, I am not suicidal.
Need to know more what happened during the date, what was discussed and how, to make a more informed diagnosis.
Not knowing that, however, if you like her and want to pursue a romantic relationship with her, you have to consider becoming friends with her first, so she gets to know you better. Be funny and charming. Don't bombard her with texts and be needy and stalkerish. Win her over.
Also consider the possibility that it may not be a good match, so I suggest going out with other girls as you become friends with her. Don't focus on just her.
Breathe. Don't get down. Dating is really hard for most people. It's hard to find the right match. But it's harder to get out a relationship that you just settled for.
Dating is trial and error with a lot of emotion invested in it so it's perfectly normal to feel bad when it doesn't work out.
In the meantime, improve yourself. Be the best version of yourself. Believe you'll find the right one and it'll happen.
