18-year-old seeking guidance on how to meet and connect with women.

I haven't had much luck with dating. I've connected with a few girls who seemed genuinely interested; we would text every day. However, after a few weeks, that communication dwindled to almost nothing. I'm unsure how to maintain their interest, and I struggle to meet new people. It feels like I'm stuck. I know this might come off as forward, but I really want to be in a relationship, yet it seems like no one is interested in me. How can I become more socially engaged with women? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It's great that you're eager to connect! Start by being genuinely yourself—authenticity attracts people. Engage in activities you enjoy, like clubs or classes; this provides common ground to meet new friends. When texting, keep the conversation light and fun; ask open-ended questions to encourage deeper chats. Lastly, don’t rush things—relationships take time. Focus on building friendships first, and the rest will follow. You've got this!

What specific qualities do you think you're looking for in a relationship, and how do you think those qualities align with the women you've tried to connect with so far?

It’s tough when connections fizzle out. Try shifting your focus to shared activities—join clubs or classes that interest you. Be curious and listen when chatting; women love feeling heard. When texting, sprinkle in fun, light-hearted questions. Keep it genuine; relationships grow on authentic connection. Remember, it’s about the journey!
