I get that the point of these subreddits is for people to meet other people but some of them make it really hard to do that and instantly remove a post you spent a lot of time and thought on. I just posted one to have it instantly removed but I copied and pasted it and decided to share it somewhere else.

Fingers crossed. No whammies.

No matter what I post or where I post it, an old r4r of me looking for my scream queen gets the most attention. I still randomly get messages about that asking if I found her. The answer is no. I also haven't been actively looking in quite some time.

I have a history of traumatic brain injuries that have left me with a degenerative neurological disorder. I'm not so sure a relationship is in the cards anymore. I don't know if you noticed but people tend to be on the shallow side even when someone is in tip top condition and in the prime of their life.

I'm not convinced there's a market for taking things slowly anymore. It's a world of instant gratification and a love 'em and leave 'em attitude. Everybody's got an inbox and everybody else is in it. Nowadays if you go a few hours without messaging, people automatically assume you're ghosting and write you off and it's on to the next one.

I'm still open to the possibility of meeting someone but they need to understand the situation I face and be willing to take things at a snail's pace. One day at a time. I have good ones and bad ones. You probably won't hear from me too much on the bad ones.

I'm willing to talk more in depth about that in private. I've always been an open book. I'm just looking for someone who's willing to read it.

I come at this logically. There's no need to ruin a good thing by jumping too far too fast, but if that rare bolt of lightning is captured in a bottle, and we spend a crazy amount of time together, after awhile one of us may want to see a future in this. If we can't both see it, it probably needs to be left in the past.

Let's just try to live in the moment for awhile. Actually get to know each other. Do people do that anymore?

I want to be careful. As one of those hokey inspirational mass shared memes states "make sure the one you build with is willing to help carry the bricks." So if there's anyone who can do the 50/50 thing and can meet me in the middle, maybe we can give it a try.
