It's a good thought. My immediate reaction is - does it matter? if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and when you ask it if It's a duck it proverbially says "I'm a duck", isn't it a duck?
I don't think a dude has ever argued with a chick who wanted him and was actually normal and kind and loving. So... Love your gf, and hope that it isn't just your turn on the carousel!

Betting on things not happening aka not having expectations is a good thing, I'm learning that too.
But yeah I do think that you can influence things, I'm evidence. I was a complete hermit until March of this year, then I lost 40 pounds, started going to events, and now I have hobbies that I enjoy and I literally developed, from complete autism in March till right now - the ability to make friends.
But I won't tell you that you can do it cuz idk your situation. I do hope it gets better someday for you though.

That surprisingly did cheer me up, thank u for the picture and sharing your experiences. I think It's horrible that not having a gf is just a continuous downward spiral, I do feel like something's missing and that something, imo, surely is love. If the government offered me a GF I'd take it tho. I'm also near 30 (29 now), you're not alone brother.I think we can make it. that's why I'm hopemaxxing right now.

I think you asking these questions tells something about you - how do you spend your weekends? how do you decide to go to bed? when do you decide to fap? answer these questions&then apply them to your gf, does it look like a normal lifestyle? if no, then you have to change it to normal and then that's your answer on how It'll be done with a gf
thanks again to everyone for sharing, please keep it up, I'm hopemaxxing so hard right now and I somehow someway am getting less desperate with every day I go out and meet nice girls, even though nothing happened so far.
