The holidays remind of all the perfect little things I would do with my other half if I had one. Like how I’d love to go pick out a Christmas tree or wake up christmas morning together to open gifts. Or how we’d stay up and snuggle together watching old Christmas movies in pajamas.
So is anyone interested? Cause I’m taking applications 😭
I come with snuggles and love built in
If a profile says:
“Would prefer someone who also goes to the gym”
They actually mean:
“No one over size 2 need apply, but that’d be too rude to say”
Asking a person you’ve never met in person to come “cuddle” you is just as CREEPY as going up to a stranger on the street and asking the same question. But where I’m from that shit just might get you shot. What happened to a good old dinner date?
Oh god. I’m chatting up this guy. He’s much cooler and good looking than I normally risk, so I’m full of doubt and anxiety. He also isn’t one of those guys that starts up with the “good morning, baby” text messages and kissy emojis after a single date, so I’m having to read more carefully for the “context clues”.
I guess I just needed to get that out into the universe. Thank you for listening. Also, sorry if you’ve had to learn that pangs of the heart don’t disappear when you’re old.
Just in case anyone was wondering what trying to find a date in the 2019 is like.
me: men are so not worth my time or effort, I’ll just date girls
my dumb monkey brain: boy tall, has pretty hair
me: fuck your right
I am 24 and should be out on my own doing my own thing but here I sit in a freshman chem class slowly realizing how old I am getting. I honestly have nothing in common with these people anymore. I had a professor ask was a VSCO girl was yesterday because she had her daughter come home asking her to become one….I had no clue what she mean’t. Honest to god what is VSCO girl and why is that the new valley girl? I look at these kids and wonder where am I headed in their world if I couldn’t make it in the older generations?
I feel so stuck in between two worlds and trying to make myself feel more authentic but my word it is so flipping hard some days. I mean for the first time in almost ten years I have a group of people who literally sit in class, look at me, giggle, and go back whispering to each other. Come on! How am I the most hilarious or weird thing at this university. Have you gone to the art department?
Some solace I suppose is I started talking to someone who is so easy to talk to and I really do enjoy them. Part of me is saying they are 100% talking to me out of pity or just loneliness and wanting to get me to do their makeup. So be it I suppose. I really hope I am wrong, I have a good feeling about this person. We shall see.
Just because it’s spooky season, does not mean it’s ok to ghost people. Don’t be a dick.
You speak me as if we have some kind of history. Never once have I told you my secrets, you don’t know my middle name, shit I haven’t even hung out with you, yet you force this awkward intimacy with me before you’ve earned it. Your hands are foreign invaders. Your gestures are unwelcome. Your “good morning gorgeous” texts are off-putting.
I have learned the hard way you can’t force the first shiny thing you see into your heart. You can’t MAKE someone into what you need, just because you need. The flattery and compliments don’t make sense when you don’t even know the person. They’re insulting in their urgency. Your complements have an underlying need that make them nothing about me, and everything about you and your raging incompleteness.
I am not your oasis here to quench your dying thirst. Get your own fucking drink of water. Once I fall from this pedestal I didn’t ask to be put on you will hate me for not filling all your voids. Go away, stop trying, fuck all the way off.
I feel like this weekend did not go as well as I had hoped. And that sucks cause I liked this guy.
I have a habit of romanticizing people and having a set of standards that they’re bound to fall off because no one is perfect but I’m still dissatisfied they didn’t live up to my set expectations.
Me:*considers online dating*
Also me:*remembers my poor health and the fact that I rarely even feel healthy enough to clean my house, so I’ll probably never feel healthy enough to go on any dates*
Still me: The fact that I can’t usually go out is probably why I’m still single. And I usually only get creepy a$$holes flirting with me online, even when I don’t LOOK for a partner. What would happen if I DID look?! 😫
My final decision: I guess I still just need to focus on my health…
