Online dating is disheartening. I am trying to find a partner, but I have had no luck whatsoever. I do not want continue spending money on dating apps. I've tried OkCupid, Bumble, Hinge, and Badoo. It's annoying, and it's irritating. I feel like I have to move mountains for someone to notice me, let alone chat with me. Sigh. I hear a lot of advice about waiting and to not actively search for a partner, which is ridiculous to me. You are trying to too hard. Sure, alright. My future partner will just fall into my lap and destiny will take care of the rest. I have been on this earth for 26 years, and no one has expressed interest to me in person, pursued me, or anything. Why would I expect someone to simply come along without putting in the effort? I am sick of it. What else is there to say? All of it is sickeningly depressing. Yeah.
