Ive never counted out older women, I've just never thought about it. I'm not really sure where to meet older women or even how to talk to them, girls my age are where I've kinda been comfortable. I'm open to it though Not really. I've been single for about 6 months, prior to that I was in a relationship for 2 1/2 years and before that the same thing, I've never really just dated casually

Oatmeal is easy to make and there's tons of different ways to make it. Eggs and toast are a staple for my mornings, and that takes about 10 minutes to make.

I'd say just level with her and say if she's not willing to get help or even try to help herself, then you can't stay together. If she was getting help or trying to help herself then you could be there every step of the way but if not, it's not your responsibility to fix her or carry her. You're not a therapist, and she'll end up anchoring you down and leeching off you, whether that's her intent or not. I've been in a relationship like that before, I spent 2 1/2 years being as patient as I could even though at times she even said she'd kill herself if I was to leave. It only gets worse, because you can only take so much before all that negativity starts to wear you down. Give her the choice, give her that chance to make an effort to get better, but if she's not gonna put the work in why should you?

Another reason for wanting to hop on Tinder is just because my sexual drive has been decreasing over the last few months and my interest in searching for a committed relationship has been fading, which I don't want to screw myself out of finding that kind of joy just because I'm too invested in everything else I'm building for myself. I figured if I at least get back on the scene and maybe flirt with some girls it'll spark that drive back up again. I find myself having a pretty negative attitude towards relationships and I fear I'm starting to put up a mental wall unintentionally.

That's pretty much my intent, I'm not exactly looking for love or anything. My concern lies with whether or not it's damaging for your social ability, like I'd hate to become to comfortable with a dating app because the real world I feel you use far more advanced people skills to pick up women seeing as though you have to approach them and make and hold conversation, whereas an app kinda breaks the ice for you. I'd like to develop some game with women because I'm not all too great with pickup but it's just not a priority, but I'd settle for getting to know some girls just for fun and to keep myself out there. I've tried hitting girls up on social media but I just don't have enough social skills to really get something started

That's fair. I suppose if I really think deep into myself and be honest, I have a hard time letting go of certain things I've found in other women and I look for those specific qualities.
