The vast majority of things don't matter. If you see someone nice at a bar, say hi. Ask for her or her number , and actually set up a time to meet. Don't waste your time minelessly chatting with someone via text, or God forbid snapchat.
Live in the real world, delete your social media. Don't take anything personally, not everyone's going to like you, and occasionally someone will say something really f*** up to you. This can even be a co-worker, it can be best to shug it off and if the behavior continues to just find another job. A boss demeans you, time to work somewhere else. Life is too short to deal with bad bosses<p>Also, take time to expand your Social circle. The bigger your Social circle is, the more friends invite you out to social gatherings, the easier it is to find a partner. And if not you made some great friends along the way. All the time I spent clubbing with Friends, was more enjoyable in that I got to enjoy some of their best years. Occasionally I'd meet a girl, but it was a nice bonus on top of an already good night. Likewise I'd go to concerts all the time and I find this works very well for meeting people. But I don't feel ripped off if I went to see one of my favorite bands and I didn't meet my future wife. Life can be best summed up as being happy with where you're at. I've been evicted twice, and with that in mind as long as I got a roof over my head my life is pretty good. I celebrate when I pay my rent, I'm aggressively saving my income up right now to build a nice little cushion in case the economy isn't so hot next year.<p>The other thing, is you need to be at a healthy weight for people to find you attractive. All this crap about methods, attitudes, whatever crap apps and dating books want to sell you , it's all garbage.<p>Plus once you lose weight you'll be healthier, happier, there are so many rewards to being at a healthy weight. But it takes work, looking through my fridge dumping out all the soda, and keeping my daily carb intake to around 50 g is very very hard. But it's much harder to be morbidly obese, that was my life up until my early twenties.<p>To end this, don't waste time on regrets. Just be aware you can't control other people, you can only control who you're around. Most regrets involve meeting someone who wasn't the best person, take a mental note to never be friends with someone like that again. Surround yourself with people who you'd like to become more like. For example if you have one friend who's running an exciting software company, that's a positive influence. If another friend is 35 years old, lives with his mom and doesn't have a job, you need to distance yourself from him fast.
