i have started putting myself out there again, smaller scale and not as seriously looking for my forever partner. knowing im busy but making time for interested parties.

in meeting older men, a constant issue i am running into is if they are over their previous relationship and if they have enough time for me. like why did you respond in the first place?? it feels like every guy i meet and maybe like uses me to figure out if they are over their ex. like "if i had a nickel for everytime this happened, id only have two but its still weird right". you tell me this after we start talking snd possibly going on a date and i start to express my interest? great.

AND ANOTHER THING, why do men always wanna tell me im too young to look for love and give unsolicited advice about what I should be doing eh? i am 22, turning 23 soon. i have lofty goals and intend on making them happen. whats wrong with looking for a companion that is consistent and provides me comfort and i provide them comfort? stop telling me what i should be doing! i want to be a partner and not a child. i get the irony of complaining like a child but i needed this off my chest.

alright, i needed that. back to my regularly scheduled programming.
