Seeking Advice: Exploring Life and Love While Traveling

[Solvinden]

Hi everyone, 

I’m  31 and currently on a journey around the world, with plans to continue until next February. I recently spent an unforgettable week in Goa where I met a wonderful woman. This experience has left me feeling quite nostalgic, especially since I’ve often found it challenging to connect with the opposite sex, and I'm not very physically attractive. Even using dating apps like Tinder, I only seem to have some success in less populated areas in third-world countries. 

Emotionally, I tend to be quite reserved, which makes it difficult for me to truly enjoy the moment. I long to experience the more ecstatic dimensions of life, but often feel like I’m on the outside looking in. 

Additionally, I'm unsure about settling down. My desire for new experiences and meeting different people is strong, yet I struggle to find success in this area. 

Could anyone share insights or suggestions on how to better connect with others and embrace the joys of life? How do you decide when it's time to settle down? 

Thanks for any advice you can offer!

You need to learn game meaning connecting with yourself and knowing yourself, so then you can express it to others.

You cant sell something if you dont know about it,why is it important and how to use it.People cant see who you are. You dont know how to be ,thats why you dont know when to settle down and thats why people dont connect to you.

You are on the right path. Traveling is great for meeting new people and learning new cultures. it can also get lonely.but its great for getting out of the comfort zone
