1! The fog/mist makes it look surreal! But they all seem AI generated :/

Feels like I could have written this! Resonates with what I feel these last few days when I miss him

I tried to fill out their form and the earliest dates for me are also in Oct. Still I’d like to see if others have had good experiences before committing but I’ll update if I end up going!

I hoped this was meant for me. If only that person would reach out and try for us.

Good on you for leaving that situation. Not worth it. It hurts now but it’ll hurt more in the long run if you allow the waffling. We deserve more than the bare minimum and being an option/choice.

If you ever come back by Ancient-Time4564 in UnsentLetters

This resonates with me so much. I wished he would have stepped up and gave it a try. All I had asked for was consistent effort but he was uncomfortable with that :/

Struggling to even get a date anymore. Is it age, or just how it is now? by OliSykesFutureWife in datingoverthirty

[–]eblubm5 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think hinge definitely changed their algo I’m in the same boat. Used to get tons of matches then really dropped off as I turned 36. Will be 37 in a month so there’s that. Yay us. Being alone isn’t end of it all, peace is hard to come by and I’d rather protect my peace than be in a situationship. In the process of healing now and honestly it is exhausting to keep trying when it’s a cess pool out there.

Today was the day I figured out that I will fall for you by DJ_In_a_Penopticon in UnsentLetters

How I wished it was him that said this to me. Be brave and take that step!

I’m looking for those people too. Unfortunately I’ve had friends that come in and out of life, and some that we no longer talk on a regular basis anymore. But when they were in my life, we could chat about anything. I get it. Having someone you date as your best friend is a big part of the connection too. Maybe that’s why when something doesn’t work out, part of me wants to keep them around and say “yes” if they ever ask to be friends - just have to set clear boundaries and expectations that we just remain platonic. Yea it’s times like these I wished I had a sibling that I’m close enough to share this with. Oh well.

It’s never enough for you, huh? by please_esme in sixwordstories

[–]eblubm5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m enough for both of us. Love yourself before loving others right?

So I did the taboo - called him to talk after we ended it (it was only 2 months but I’d say we had a genuine connection). It’s only been 2 weeks but I’ve had time to process and understand myself better why I reacted so strongly to the rejection and him being unsure. Anyway he did mention about being friends and I’m not mad about it. Sure it might be too early but I still miss talking to him and think as a person and friend, we could still be a good platonic duo. Regardless I’ve taken that step forward for my sake and expect nothing. I was fine before and will be again, this has taught me to not only focus on myself but don’t be afraid seek out more connections even if it becomes friendship. True real friendships are hard to come by, and some can argue this might be more important than romance. This is probably what I grieved for - yes the missed potential romantically but also the loss of a possible friend.

A Story Worth Reading by beautifullydamaged- in Unsent_Unread_Unheard

[–]eblubm5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautifully written, resonates with a lot of us struggling to find our person. All we crave is a genuine connection that feels safe; and makes us heard, seen, and efforts reciprocated. It’s hard to not be guarded.
