هل انا الوحيد اللي بحس المصطلح هذا بشع كتير و مقرف؟ 😭

يمكن لانه اي حد "ستريت" بدور بوتوم بحكي عن حاله هيك 😀

Okay so this could be the stupidest thought ever but here is what sometimes comes to my mind..

Quick background: 😭

I'm 22 almost 23, I haven't "accepted" myself till a year or so ago. Haven't started looking for a "partner" till four months ago. I look young, could say I'm 17-18 and it'd be more than believable, so naturally I've only been talking to people my age or younger.

Okay 😭 The thought I'm talking about is that I sometimes feel i might have missed out on "my prime" and now I'm too old to find someone I like because I want someone who looks young like me but I'm now getting too old for those people 😭

(People who know me closely please don't make fun of me for this post 😭😝)

I always hear this. Why are we complicating things too much? why do i have to pretend I hate someone for them to like me back? People used to send each other love letters and write poems about their lover but me sending two texts in a row is doing too much? We must be living in opposite worlds because I had no clue that effort and consistency is an ick. I always believe that if you love/like someone you should show them that very clearly and stop playing dumb games.

After being in around 6-7 (LOL) talking stages, I'd say, the last two months here is what I've learnt.

In order to protect yourself emotionally (especially if you're sensitive or actually seriously looking for something genuine) you should

Keep your expectations low

Keeping expectations low would make any failure far less hurtful than necessary. This doesn't mean expect nothing or hope for nothing but it means always have it in the back of your mind that this could just fail at anytime. So when it comes, you're already prepared for it.

Love them for whom they are not for whom you wish them to be

This may sound banal but it actually is what makes you have higher expectations. No one is going to change for you and, in general, you shouldn't change for someone. If there is something wrong with him and you know it can't be changed because that's what he is then just move on.

Be yourself

This is also important because if you're putting up an act to impress them, the mask is eventually going to fall off and the real you would be behind it. So be yourself, if they love you they must love the real you not the character you're playing.

The trash took itself out

This is how I like to think of the people who simply ghost you or block you instead of being mature enough to actually say they don't like you or aren't interested anymore for whatever reason.

Wish you all the best in your dating lives,

If you are looking for something serious please HMU!

Got matched with smn and we talked for like 1 minute then he sent

"شاطر بلمص؟"

like wtf is this 😭

Thought this was supposed to be on Grindr mostly which I'm glad I never used.

Anyway, thought it was funny so I shared here 💀

Does anyone else think that the only viable option to wear under a button up shirt is a short sleeved V neck undershirt? I think anything else just doesn't look right especially if the shirt is a light colour and you could see a bit underneath it 💀

I'm not looking for fun, I'm looking for something genuine and real. someone I could love and love me back. I'm friendly, kind and hopefully lovely 🥰

I guess there is just nothing to do about it honestly. It hurts and we just have to deal with it. I actually thought I finally found my partner. All love messages no sexual talk whatsoever. Keeping it real from heart to heart. Even long phone calls and we even played Fortnite for hours. Out of the blue, I'm ghosted for a day and then blocked on everything. I am too kind to wish him the worst so I sent an SMS wishing him the best because I'm that type of stupid. But I feel nothing currently, no anger, no indignation, just abject confusion and the slightest bit of despair. I hope I could move on quickly as I refuse to believe this would always be the result of a relationship.

I don't want this to affect how i view people, or start mistrusting my feelings in the future. I'm writing this at 3:42 in the morning, this has happened an hour ago. I should get my rest and see how I feel tomorrow. I'd love to hear anything you have to say about this. if you have a similar experience please write it here :(

The most disgusting thing about them is they be posting in IOF uniforms 🤢. I wish there were a country filter 😵

Hey, I'm looking for a serious relationship with someone longterm. HMU. I'm not considered masculine looking so I want someone similar to me only.

DON'T DM if you're horny or looking for hookups or something quick.
