I'm a 28M, and lately I've been struggling to understand something about myself.
I genuinely want to build a family one day. I want to find a woman I truly love, who loves me just as much, build a life together, and raise beautiful kids in a home filled with love. It's something I genuinely look forward to.
The problem is that whenever I meet a girl I like and start talking to her, everything feels exciting at first. I'm curious about her and want to get to know her. But after a week or two, something changes. I start feeling bored, tired, or just off. It's hard to explain, but it's like my interest suddenly disappears, and I struggle to maintain the connection. Sometimes, she hasn't even done anything wrong.
For context, I'm 28, have a stable job and income, work out, and go out with friends. I'm generally building a life I'm happy with, so I don't think I'm simply looking for someone to fill a void.
I honestly don't know, and I don't want to keep repeating this cycle. I want a meaningful relationship, but I feel like something keeps getting in the way.
How to overcome this?
