Being single

Dated a string of people who didn't deserve my trust, so I know that gut-wrenching feeling all too well. Life is more peaceful without it.
- They always talk about wading through a bunch of weeds or whatever but hey, I get it, no one has that kind of time anymore to wade through a bunch of assholes to find the fhe one decent person anymore. Life gets short. It can become the kind of noise and drama you just don’t want to mar up your life with.
  Out of the plethora of coffee dates from the online apps I’d say there were approx 90% of the people on there that really shouldn’t be dating others and should be in some sort of counselling or just straight up scammers. Several hadn’t been in any relationship that lasted more than 6 months for a good reason.
  Even in the last 10% maybe there was no chemistry but I did make some friends. One I’m still good friends with even today since Covid times.
  It took about 3 yrs to find someone worth dating with chemistry. Like seriously it’s like friggin career training these days.

If your relationships involve a "gut wrenching feeling 24/7" you might have other problems
- "It's just a matter of time before she discovers I'm only an emergency hologram..."
- Problem, preference, or orientation. It's impossible to tell.
- People just seem to use me and I have trust issues

I've had a lot of painful relationships so i understand. It takes time, especially if you get burnt. It's still good to find someone nice who will eventually become your one.

Time to end that relationship. I spend my day waiting to go home and see my partner
- That was the only thing that pushed me out of bed for a while, the fact that I'd get to come home to the perfect woman later.
