HOW TO DEAL WITH THE PSYCHO EX

So we have a listener question.

This one comes from a guy.

Okay.

I want a girlfriend so badly, but I feel like I'm a lost cause.

I'm 27 and didn't date much through high school and college due to my weight.

Girls obviously weren't throwing themselves at the shy fat guy and I didn't really put myself out there much.

I've always said that I would start dating when I lost the weight, but it turns out that that kind of pressure had the opposite effect and I went from heavy to obese.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

I obviously don't plan to lead with this on dates, but I do want to be honest about it when it comes up.

I'm worried that even if there's women who like me, they will think that something is wrong with me for never being in a relationship before.

Is it even something I should be worried about? And is there any advice for how to approach this as I try to enter the dating world?

27 year old virgin who's never kissed a girl I know well if he says I really really want a girlfriend so bad I feel like that's not a good mentality to have when you're trying too hard it kind of you can sense that

yeah

and I kind of do believe it always comes when you least expect it that happened for me anyways like I had given up on dating I wasn't trying was focusing on myself and then lo and behold I met my husband and But also

he doesn't have any practice dating.

I feel like he needs to just like go on practice dates.

He needs

to just jump in and just not think too much about it.

Not stress about it.

Just jump in, go on dates.

Don't look at it like it might become a serious relationship.

Just have fun.

Yeah.

Don't you think? Yeah.
