Thread 33466250

I met a girl on a language exchange app a while back, and I can't stop thinking about her. She liked me romantically, and I liked her back, but there were just too many things stopping me from pursuing a relationship with her at the time including:
>distance: she lives in Argentina, I live in the US
>age: she's about 3.5 years younger than me (I'm 23)
>my own personal mental state: I went through a pretty serious depressive episode at the time and attempted suicide

That being said, I've taken a new job that requires me to constantly travel, any relationship I get into will be long distance so I don't care about that too much anymore, and also, I am out of that depressive state. Needless to say, I would like to start talking to her again but I just don't know how to approach it. We stopped talking in November and it's August now, and I just don't know what I would even say. Should I even bother with this? Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

Gonna be honest. You've got to let go of the idea that there's ONE particular girl. Sure, you can reach out, but you can't expect anything. You're much better off working on your communication skills, style, and charisma. Then focus on making things happen with girls that are right in front of you. Long distance is a super hard ask when you've not even met in person. And even if you had met once...you usually need a firm foundation of constant contact that the relationship was built upon before having to go long distance in the first place. Starting long distance....is she supposed to ignore all the attractive men coming her way? Are you supposed to ignore all the fine asses you see traveling from place to place?

Long distance doesn't make sense unless it's already built on a firm foundation, having been in person for that foundation. Focus on improving yourself to the point that you can spark something up with the numerous women you'll run into in your travels vs some girl you've never even met in person and hadn't spoken to in almost a year.

>I can't stop thinking about her.
Scarcity mindset. Bro. If you work on yourself, style, charisma, and the things that make you attractive to women in the first place, you'd have forgotten her name already because you'd be getting looks. You only feel this way because you haven't experienced what it's like to have a fair amount of women interested. To walk into a store and get compliments from women. I need you to know that exists. And even if it doesn't happen for you, with the right work and focus, you can easily relate with women in your travels. It's just about building the confidence to work towards that because you know it's true.

Don't let yourself get hung up on this one chick just because she's one of the first to express interest. Because you know damn well that's really the only reason. Once you deal with a few more girls, you'll get it. So focus on making that happen bro

We'll, at 23, as a male, you really are supposed to date 35yo+ stacies that finally are ready to settle down.
