I experienced this around your age. As the level of testosterone starts to subside you find yourself able to think about other things IN ADDITION to sex. It’s ok.

In my experience, a relationship is the only way to get regular sex. If I find somebody I want to have sex with, I try to start a relationship.

I personally adore women who embrace their sexuality. We men aren’t permitted to embrace our sexuality any more (it’s called “toxic masculinity” now), and somebody has to do it for the benefit of all.

They probably ask you that question because there’s something about you that alerts them to it. You might try explaining to them that you stay with your parents to help them out a couple days a week. I know other people that do that. Women justifiably want to know if you can take care of yourself because women don’t want to take care of you.

Yes. All the women I meet are waiting for paperwork before they are willing to kiss.
u/zengeezer

No, you’re not shallow. Everyone deserves a mate they are attracted to. And there’s no guarantee that you will find one.
u/zengeezer

You will survive this episode in your life and go on to bigger things.

If we’re lucky enough to meet another special woman we forget about the earlier one(s). Don’t act like women don’t have the same problem. If you read the descriptions in dating profiles: when women describe the man they’re looking for they are describing that one perfect guy that got away.

I suggest you take a break, and come back to the dating world after some healing time. You’re not planning on dying, so what else are you going to do with your spare time?

He might not have made that decision before he saw you in the parking lot. Men and women often make up reasons, and height is one of those reasons.
