I hate dating apps but I think I convinced myself at some point that it was just enough effort to use them so I didn’t have to try irl but just hopeless enough that I’d never have to worry about actually getting into a relationship.
I went on a date recently that went really well and we’re going on another tomorrow
Its been about 8 years since my last serious relationship, and that only lasted a couple months. So I’m going to try and take these next steps slowly and carefully…
Always eager to have my mind changed. Hoping to hear profound ideas and share them as well. Please challenge my thoughts.
