So I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of negativity and people struggling with dating on this forum and I wanted to just share my perspective and maybe give you guys a little encouragement.
Okay so I’ve been single since I was 17, I’m 24 currently. And honestly, I’m happy being single. Not that I’ve given up on dating but I just haven’t made it a top priority in my life. And I don’t have trouble talking to women at all, most of my friends are girls. I used to get broken up and worried about it but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized it’s okay to focus on yourself. For me, I’ve learned to be comfortable in my own skin and enjoy my own company. There are many perks in that I can do what I want and pursue my goals and interests. Relationships shouldn’t be a goal, they should be a natural connection you should form with someone, and not totally based on looks. I get it, we’re superficial af and there’s nothing wrong with being attracted to someone, but that shouldn’t be the basis of a healthy relationship. I’d rather spend my time with someone I actually enjoy being around instead of a pretty looking person with a s**t personality. The thought of being single forever doesn’t bother me much because there’s more to life than being in a relationship. If the right one comes along, that’s cool, if not, well that’s cool too. And I look at it this way, I’ve had 6 girlfriends (most were long distance and 3 only lasted about a week lol) and a boyfriend (my last relationship) who I loved dearly when I was with and I’m just glad I got to experience that. And that’s enough to give me fulfillment.
I get why a lot of people are getting down on themselves on here and at one point I was in your shoes, and I hope all of you guys find some kind of fulfillment in my life.
