I Got the Ick For Dating
Dating is exhausting.
I want to preface this by saying I’m a straight woman and this is just based on my experience.
Dating is so incredibly mentally exhausting and I’ve been doing it for way too long at this point. I feel like I’ve only ever been met with disappointment because no one seems to be genuine about their intentions these days.
It’s not even a problem of just online dating anymore I’ve been met with disappointment with people I’ve dated through friends. I keep asking myself if there’s something wrong with me or the things I say or if it’s just the generation.
Disappointment After Disappointment
I’m comfortable with being alone, so little things about another person may annoy me. However, I’m able to look past those things and even accept them if I like someone.
Recently, on the dates I’ve been on, I feel as though most people have had the wrong intentions or they are only looking for a casual hookup. I’m done with that. I’m not looking for a casual hookup. I don’t want a guy to just take me on a date, and pay for everything, expecting me to have sex with them later.
I’m getting so discouraged. I’ll think I’ve found someone genuine until they start asking me for nudes before the second date even…
