I'm 23, male, final year of Uni.
I broke up with my gf of around a year about 6 months ago as I didn't feel like things were working out. We are still friends and talk regularly. Since then, I haven't really talked to any other girls, and I don't even feel like I've met any even though I regularly go out and have a good group of friends etc.
I've always been shy and I've never really asked a girl out (my ex made the first moves, rare I know) but I suppose the second point isn't really an issue at the moment as I'm not even meeting/talking to any girls yet. I'd say I'm pretty average looking and quite short (5"7).
The feeling of being incapable of creating any relationships for myself (as in, me making the first moves, or even meeting anyone) is becoming very frustrating, to the point where I feel helpless. I've looked at improving my confidence (something which has always been a bit of an issue for me), but I don't really get anywhere. I'll try to forget it all and stay positive, but a few weeks later the negative thoughts make a reappearance, and I'm back to square one.
The prospect of leaving Uni soon makes it worse, as I'll most likely be working in a male dominated industry when I graduate, making it even harder to meet someone.
Any tips on how to break the cycle of negative thinking? Or how I could possibly meet someone? At 23, I feel like I should be out there, dating or whatever, but I can't see how it will happen in my current situation.
Put the internet to work for you.
