Just gotta find the right one. Granted we were younger and already friends for a couple of years, but my son's mom and I first "date" was walking through a cemetery near where I lived looking for graves with Masonic square and compass on them to see if we found any relevant local surnames then go from there

We didn't, but it was a fun way to spend a late spring day with a likeminded 5"4' thicc blonde blue eyed Swedish Norwegian sweetheart of a girl. At the time I was about to turn 23 and she was about to turn 20, back in 2015.

Any advice on how to find the right one? I wish I could find someone like you did but time is running out I believe and it's really anxiety inducing, I wish I didn't waste so much time pretending to be somebody I wasn't

To be fair I lost her and she fell victim to the trans thing, but I honestly don't know. Just don't be too afraid of rejection or people not accepting you, but also prepare for the chance that for whatever reason you aren't able to find someone or it takes longer than you want it to.

Her and I haven't been together in nearly ten years but I still regret things and think about her daily, especially because our son looks so much like her, and haven't moved on because I don't want anyone else.

We met one night at a mutual friends house while myself and a couple buddies were chillin jammin and I was xanned out of my mind to the point I guess I just awkwardly stared at her for mad long after she walked in, and every time she went outside to smoke I'd decide to play and sing another song and try to have someone slyly go get her to come back inside so I could feebly attempt to peacock lmao

I am not Chad. I'm 6'2", not ugly but not handsome, have a decent sense of humor, people tell me I'm smart and I play guitar.Those are the only positive qualities I have yet I've done okay for myself with girls because while it sucks to want someone physically emotionally or both I didn't let "no" destroy me and kept it movin, and even with that attitude it took over 10 hookups and casual dating for me to find someone I wanted to spend my life with as I yapped about above.

Just don't be afraid, don't take yourself TOO seriously and be able to adapt. Lurk places IRL or online where people who think like you and have similar interests chill and get to know people, you'll know if you run into the one that ticks all of the proverbial boxes for your mind and heart. Sorry I couldn't really give you any kind of tangible practical advice

I'm sorry you went through that Anon. I know it's not the same thing but I know someone whose father also fell for the trans thing and it does seem to be really devastating

At least you have a son and I'm sure that helps when it comes to moving forward when things get cloudy and bleak. You do seem like a really cool guy

And thank you for the advice, it's really valuable for me. I did spend a lot of time trying too hard to fit in with people and places I didn't really belong and now I have some clarity and it's horrifying to realize how much time I wasted

Oh. And btw could this be a sign?

Don't been such a teenager/woman. You sure as hell won't find a proper mate, worse even, find a retard who will transition, if you keep thinking like that.
You're the ripe age to find a 20yo girl who entered uni. Be a mentor to her and help her shape her vision of reality while protecting and catering to her. If you manage to project that image without being a weirdo you'll find the one.

Ask yourself this: are you so old that you're physically or mentally incapable of moving your body and orienting yourself in space? If not, then you aren't too old to do anything.
What you're asking isn't "am I too old to do this?" you're asking "am I so old that this is no longer perceived as socially acceptable?"
It really depends on whether or not you want to be accepted socially. But you can always, always do whatever you want so long as you're body and mind are able to do so.
Your age is a record of time passing. It is quite literally just a number indicating how long you've lived. It only gains real form when you view it within the framework of societal expectations.

Do whatever you want to do.

Yes. You should get in the sea and stay there.

It was a mistake to ask, no such authority exists.

Get on with your life.

Asking /x/ for approval has closed you off from anything meaningful permanently

Sign up for local ghost tour groups etc. Should be plenty of people to meet there.
