Does anyone have any experience with believing if it (a relationship) was meant to be it will eventually work out and it actually working out?

This is romanticized BS. Relationships is a mix of serendipity, luck, commitment and dedication. People nowadays are lazy to invest time and prefer convenience. I used to believe in it but now I am in my 30s and know better. What's real is if somebody is interested, they will find a way to make it work out. But if only one is invested, it will never work out.

I’m confused. How can a relationship possibly work out if you don’t believe it will? Doesn’t every relationship require you believing it will work out?

I know, and agreed - believing is just a prerequisite and hard work is needed. I was just confused by the framing of this question.

Hi friends,
I just wanted to share what I feel for the few months. No drive in my life, been in depression phase.I have recently resigned form the job. I am planning for a career switch, it's been 2 months now. Nothing is going in the right way, feeling very low and no confidence at all. Negativity from the family , relatives constantly invading me for the joblessness. Now I am at my home watching my friends moving abroad, me at the zero level.

So I’m late to the Indian Matchmaking series. Is it the guy who has to be wealthy and the women who need to come from wealth? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of emphasis on what the women do for a living, but the men all seem either well-off or getting called losers. Is that what people look for in real life too? So there’s no place for women on the come up to be with someone above their own social class?

Words of logic and encouragement would be appreciated. Im 31 & started dating again after 2 years of focusing on myself. Hit it off with a guy that I had been consistently seeing 2-3 times a week for the last month. Today he tells me that he’s still hung up on his ex from 2 years ago. They still text every week or so. I’m sad/disappointed because he’s obviously not emotionally available. Please provide some logic on next steps and pros/cons of staying in contact with this person

This is an interesting one. So I work on a small finance team at a tech startup. I have only one peer who is female, about 4 years older than me. She looked at the payroll and realized I make significantly more than her. I also work significantly less hours than her because I work on the technical side while she is operational. I think all of my years in consulting allowed me to get hired at a premium. She sorta confronted me about the pay gap and I skirted the issue...
