>>307190>Why are you trying to make me feel guilty for not having had much experience with intimacy?That's not the issue here. It's your self-professed "refusal to blame yourself" in particular but also repeated reference to sex rather than emotional bonding when talking about romance that tells me that your problems are probably largely self-inflicted. Most people can tell when they're being approached by someone that wants something (in your case: sex) and you probably make the lack of personal responsibility obvious in how you talk IRL too (likely true of the nonas here that cry about the world being the problem too), if you even bother to try. The lack of responsibility is a huge issue in a partnership where compromise and teamwork matter so much. It's a huge turn off. Write me off as mean if you want, but I'm being blunt and telling you from experience as someone who narrowly dodged witchhood. The partner I chose was someone who also very narrowly avoided becoming a wizard, by the way.
Finding a long term partner isn't easy because there's so many variables involved in compatibility and romantic love is unfortunately only one of them. The sooner you accept responsibility for yourself and actually put yourself out there the sooner you will find someone who clicks. It may take many tries, but that's life and you need to accept it because marriage isn't something that's required in the modern age.
>>307191I would argue that it's not impossible, but you're right that the antiquated idea of what romance is is mostly (and rightfully in my opinion) dead. Modern love requires a lot of willingness for openness, compromise, and acceptance towards a person that people who browse imageboards often aren't able to be until much later in life than what might be considered "normal". It's not the sunshine and roses that solves every problem like the princess stories we women and Kodak moments moids are raised with from childhood.
