Are you overweight? What’s your body type? How would you rate your facial features and overall attractiveness?
However annoying it may sound i think you just have to wait for things to happen. Ur so young have fun and the right person will come along eventually :smile:
Don't worry, you're still very young.

Relax, have fun, enjoy life, do things that make you happy.

You could do online dating-yes I know you said you tried dating apps (tinder, plenty of fish, eharmony), go to speed dating events, meeting men through social clubs, going to the bar, meeting men through education, through work, through your network and just by going out and putting yourself out there.

How bad is your ADD? I have it but not too severely but it still affects me and my relationships whether they be friends or S.O's

Generally, I find it's harder to get together with someone who is 'neurotypical', partially due to that person just not being able to understand what it's like. Is this what you struggle with?

If you don't mind me asking, are you in a relationship at the moment? How do you make it work out? I'm struggling with my boyfriend and we both have ADHD

This is my favourite internet insult of all time. I choked on my apple and I'm still giggling while I write this. 10/10 would be virtually insulted again.

So what's the problem, specifically I mean?

Just because someone is overweight, doesn’t mean they’re undateable.

But all other things being equal, being overweight is, for the majority of people, considered unattractive. Isn't that true?

I would be willing to go on the record saying being fat is not attractive as a general rule. I'm not talking about a little chub, I mean genuinely into the realms of unhealthiness. It's the same for emaciated people too, it's not attractive because it looks unhealthy.
When did this thread turn into a debate about the attractiveness of fat people? IMO I'd rather have someone with a bit of chub who actually enjoys life than someone who spends their entire existence in the gym.

OP, I'm in the exact same boat as you right down to the age and name. It's cliche, but you gotta be happy in your own skin before you can be with someone. Being a happier person makes you more dateable.
Alternately, join a few societies or go out with some friends to a club or something. If you already do that, then try something different. What you're currently doing isn't working, so change it up. Even if it's just getting a new haircut.

I know this situation, because I do it (also have ADD and am autistic) too.

What you're doing is writing yourself off and therefore (maybe subconsciously) acting in a way that sabotages your attempts to engage someone's interest.

Describe yourself. What do you do? What kind of person do you want to be with? Have you met anyone you like?
