People Who Are Done With Dating
It seems like there is somehow nothing but single people, and yet everyone you're ever interested in is taken. It's so normal these days to meet people through apps that we've created a whole new language around using them. If you're not meeting someone on an app, then maybe you're lucky and you met them through friends or at work, which has its own problems.
The bottom line is that dating is rough, and it's a wonder that any of us even bother with it anymore. These people certainly won't, that's for sure.
At Some Point, We Just Have To Be Fine With It
Why is it that it feels like you're constantly surrounded by people all the time, but none of them seem like interesting or viable partners to date? It's one of life's cruelest jokes.
"Please Act Normal, Please Act Normal"
This is what most of us chant as we get ready to go out on a first date. The first date is too soon for someone to know all the different ways you're insane.
No Woman Is Immune
Is he everything you ever wanted, or is he just over six feet tall? It's almost impossible to tell, and most of us can't until after we've wasted at least a year dating someone.
If He's The Right Man, He'll Make An Effort
He will figure out a way to work around the Bumble rules and message you first! Of course, that will be totally creepy and a turnoff, but it's the thought that counts?
Most Of Us Have Been Here Once Or Twice
Oh, I'm sorry, didn't you want to be in a relationship without any of the perks of being in a relationship? That's exactly how dating works these days, so yes. Let's waste each other's time!
How Does Someone Flirt, Anyway?
It's too bad that we seem to live in a time when being nice to someone seems suspect, so the best way to communicate our feelings is through picking on someone we really like.
It's A Few Years Old, But Still Very True
This isn't to say that all straight men are bad, it's just that most of them are. Even the good ones have their issues like not brushing their teeth or owning no furniture whatsoever.
At Least There Are Still Times When You Just Know
You know that you're never going to hang out with them again. The only thing left to do is decide if you're going to ghost or be a nice person and explain to them that you would sooner die than hear them talk again.
Or, You Know, You Could Talk To Her
To be fair, it's nice that he's actively trying not to be that guy who hits on women at the gym, because that can be annoying. But women can usually figure out pretty quickly if someone is being genuine or not.
It's Honestly Mind-Blowing To Think About
The idea that there is someone out there for everyone honestly sounds fake. Soulmates are a sham, and there is no way that there is only one person for you—there are probably many. They're all emotionally unavailable, though.
The Worst Part Is Having To Pretend You Like What They Like
Yeah, totally, The Witcher sounds awesome, we should watch that for sure. After we watch that, you can pretend to care about what happened on The Bachelor this week.
You Gotta Love A Man With A Plan
Oh my gosh...he's taking you somewhere? That's so romantic! I wish my man did things like that for me. All we do is argue about where we should eat for every meal.
Let's Just Say It, You Don't Have To Date Someone Just Because They Wanna Date You
It's really flattering when someone likes you, as misguided as it may be for anyone to like you. But that doesn't mean that you owe them anything more than your honesty about the situation.
How Do They Manage It?
Men who seem to have so little together in their lives sure are masters of hiding other women from the people they're dating. Too bad they don't use their powers for good instead of evil.
People Will Take You For A Ride
It pretty much feels like no matter what you do or with whom, you're going to end up with a lot of wasted time and a bunch more baggage that you didn't need.
But What Other Choices Do We Have?
We're supposed to just be OK with not having anyone in our corner? Humans are social creatures, we need other humans to help us feel like we are taken care of.
Many Of Them Are Fixer-Uppers
But if you're up for the challenge, you may end up finding your diamond in the rough. Nothing wrong with putting a little effort into someone who wants to be better.
Let's Be Honest, What Is There To Gain?
Sure, "experience," but how far does that really get anyone? It seems that no matter how much experience you have, you will always need more to be qualified for whatever it is you're trying to get into.
Who Else Has A List Of People They Wish They Left Alone?
It can be super disheartening to look back on all the people you've had feelings for and see you might have been better off if you had just left them all alone.
In The End, It Might Just Be Better To Be Single
Trying to date someone is just a lot of effort to put into being on your own anyway. It doesn't always turn out that way, but it does often enough that it's not even worth the effort anymore.
