    I guess haha. But just getting to know someone is nice. I mean, I just like to get to know my coworkers and typically that alone can lead to something. If not a relationship, then friendship, or sometimes just sex, if that’s your thing.

    Edit: basically I don’t think you should try for a relationship necessarily, but there’s no harm in trying to get to know someone

    On another note, it’s been a little over a year now since my ex and I broke up and I still haven’t had it in me to delete all our photos off my phone. “Live Photos” make it extra hard cause often they are talking and you can hear their voice, if only for a second. I don’t still have feeling really but I hate the way it ended and I don’t like just erasing stuff from existence.

    additionally, last night I had a sex dream about her which totally took me by surprise. I never have sex dreams let alone with her

    I relate to this soooooo much in almost every way.

    I also know tons of people who I can tell aren't truly happy but falling for the forced norms of continuation and marriage and I kind of feel bad for them. I noticed the majority girls who actually try to flirt with me end up being in serious relationships and it's sooo weird. I feel bad for their significant other because it's definitely a sign of that. I was in multiple long term relationships that were forced and I know what it's like and what some of the symptoms of wanting to get out are.

    There's definitely a few girls who Ive liked that have been stuck in those that I feel I could like really enjoy being with but they stay so I really don't have a choice to. It all around sucks but at the end of the day it's really to each their own and you can't control it. I just kind of roll my eyes when they complain and then send me flirty stuff, it's their bed though.

    our first conversation happened tonight and it was me sliding into the break room to talk with her and I gave her cotton candy grapes as a peace offering. It went smooth as heck.

    ok so to end this trilogy we probably talked for like 20 minutes today. I found out she was vegan and older than me so everything is cool.

    So what do you do when you meet 2 or 3 people you like, and they like you back? When I’m interested in someone, I don’t like talking/going on dates with other ppl it feels weird to me? I know it’s technically socially acceptable to explore your options so maybe it shouldn’t. I’m not in that situation rn but I was and now I feel like I went with the wrong person due to some recent events. Sorry if this post sounds like a fuck boy humble brag thing I’m just awkward and terrible at dating.

    I was trying to describe myself to someone

    I'm like that too. I cannot be interested in more than one person at once (even just having 2 first dates lined up with two different people). I always end up picking a favourite. Fortunately (or not?), it hasn't happened to me very often. ;-p

    I've been unable to maintain a relationship for longer than a couple months for a couple years now. ngl it's getting depressing. I used to tell myself "you'll get your shit together and then it'll just happen and be easier" but I'm not the type of person who's ever just gonna have their shit together. My circumstances may improve, but that's about it. I've been involved in a few potential "official relationship" situations this year and I fucked them all up terribly, some of it my fault, some of it theirs (the people I choose to involve myself with doesn't help). On that note, I have a habit of picking people I think I know are bad for me (don't ask me why). I met two girls, both of which got along great with my friends (one was a friend of a friend), were incredibly kind, honest, and down to earth, and who actually liked me, yet I chose to go pursue this other girl who basically raised red flags every time we spoke.

    @Jacob I've been going on regular dates for a couple years now and just now got to the point of being in a relationship. I think the fact that you need to meet the right person at the right time means you'll probably be disappointed a lot before it happens. Anyway that's how I view my experience

    This is what I noticed with myself, so it may or may not even apply to you. I struggled with maintaining long term relationships for a long time, and I found I always had an excuse like she wasn't right for me or I didn't like xy and z. It took a really long time for me to figure out that I was immensely dissatisfied with myself. I felt I didn't have anything of value to offer to anyone as a person. I hated my job, I hated my future, I hated my past. I was miserable in all aspects of life. I spent a very long time making very small strides to be better -- three or four years, though the work is never done -- before I started to see a change in not only me but also in the relationships I was cultivating with potential girlfriends but also with my friends.

    Maybe it really is as simple as meeting the right person at the right time, I don't know. But, I feel strongly that the right person at the right time means nothing if you're not ready for that opportunity. I wasn't ever ready for it because of the amount of dissatisfaction I had with myself. Once i worked on that and got those ships in line, everything else seemed to start coming together.

    So like, do you ever see someone checking you out and they have like crazy colored hair and you can't really tell how old they are so it's just like weird and you just pretend to look at your phone while they stare?

    I've definitely thought someone in their late 20s has been in their 40s multiple times and have thought about straight up asking them so I'm not the best at it.

    I agree with this completely and I think it falls in line with "loving yourself before you can love other people". Much of it has been about finding my confidence. It's been a long road with a long ways to go lol.
