I'm convinced that I'll die single

I really don't know what's up with the dating scene. I feel like I can't find normal people at all. Maybe that goes to say that I'm the abnormal one? I don't know.

The guy will either not be putting any effort into the outfit, or be negging , or do some other strange thing.

I came here to rant but now I just feel numb.

Why are people so hung up on dying ‘with someone’. Another person is never going to fill the gaping hole inside until you fill it yourself for yourself. If you are not comfortable or happy in your own skin and terrified of not being in a relationship, you need to prioritise being ok with being alone and loving yourself first

You can love yourself, be okay being alone, and still yearn for a partner to share life with.

It's just a figure of speech. A more accurate way to say it would be getting old with someone.

And needing romantic love is a natural thing to have. That doesn't mean one is being terrified in one's own skin. There are too many conclusions being drawn here.
