It DOES feel like it's a waste of time and effort.
You are far better off dedicating that love you wish to share, on yourself.
Grow yourself
Build yourself
Prepare for love when it happens.
Just as we prepare for rough parts of life, prepare for the good.
This 100% learn to be okay with yourself and the life you life. Holding on to a particular outcome changes how you behave, but also subliminally changes the conditions of success (for example the goal of relationship over your own happiness).
If you approach these interactions as just an opportunity to know someone as an individual person better (rather than meeting with the goal of an evaluation), it doesn't matter if they are relationship material because you've gotten to know a new person which is itself an amazing opportunity.
I'll repeat, you're doing great. No need to worry, just take things as they come 🫂🌞
