So yeah I'm kinda convinced that I'm going to end up alone. I'm a 33 y/o M who achieved my dream job and living in NYC.. I never had a relationship, I have lots of hobbies, in good shape, good looking, and really trying to go out.... No luck.

So yeah I'm not desperate for a girlfriend, but I'm pretty much convinced that I'm going to end up alone as a 33 y/o M who never had a real relationship in the past. I Really don't know what to do. I have hobbies, I pay for classes I have interests in, I try to go to social events... In the meanwhile I've been trying to do things on my own like go to movies, dinners, jogs, etc.... I've been trying to talk to girls and just to get to know them but all the girls whose numbers I gotten, never amounted to a single date.
I know I'm suppose to focus on making myself the best version of myself, doing things alone, not to be desperate, and all that..... but tbh I don't feel like its working.
I've tried online dating and that isn't working either, 0 matches. I struggle to even find girls I like and my standards aren't that high.
I just give up.
TL;DR: I'm a 33 y/o M that never had a gf, never had a real kiss and I'm trying so hard to even go on a date and get into a relationship and its useless.

Doubt OP will be back

Yup. It turns out compassion and kind, reasonable advice wasn’t what he was after. Whoddathunk.

Were we supposed to throw our knickers at him?

One of the possible options I’m sure 😆

Edited to add - maybe he did get a bite and that’s why he’s gone? Did some dafty on here fall for the “I’m a sexy doctor in NYC’ shtick 😳

So you've never ever had a relationship or kissed anyone at age 33 but you're sociable, intelligent, good looking, charismatic?

Are you looking for something that doesn't exist?

And spiritual don't forget that.
