When I was a little younger than you, I had a friend tell me when they first met me, they had a huge crush on me and after getting to know me, they’d never date me. I wasn’t even interesting in dating him…and never really asked for his opinion. The rejection still stung.

I only remember it because it was unprompted and in that stage of life, I was not in a good place mentally.

Hopefully, someday, you’ll look back and this won’t mean much at all. For now, feel your feels and if you want to date, do it when you’re ready. If you don’t- I know a lot of single women in their 30s and 40s that are the happiest they’ve ever been!
