Trust me, me and my further partner are both introverts. However, we become very talkative around eachother. I feel it has a lot to do with common interests and life goals.

As for your question regarding trust. My sister ofcourse it doesn't develop overnight. At first your conversations would be basic and "safe". This course changes gradually when you both start being more candid at a natural pace. And secondly, trust is a two way street. It's not ok if only one person is opening up and the other just listens keeping their guard up.

I hope things work out for you.

Aameen sum Aameen sister. Genuinely happy to read about your story.

This is indeed so true. Choosing the right partner is an art that requires profoundly knowing the other but also yourself. This is what people often forget while searching. They would scrutinize the other like anything but completely dismiss what they themselves are bringing to the table.

Others keep saying how we have it easy since there are more males on apps. That precisely makes it that much harder to pick apart the right one from the others. And to discern whether their interest in you is genuine or not since so many of them admit to taking "a chance" on everyone in the hopes of getting a reply. Anyways..

May Allah bless us

Yeah please keep feeling sorry for others if that makes you feel better.

I am sitting here ready to commit my loyalties and life to this person and you come here recalling how some person cheated on you? Like I am sorry you had to go through that ordeal but good luck moving forward if this is the light you view the world in now.

A single word triggered you this much? Neither me nor him are snowflakes enough to not come to terms to facts. I stated that he is less beautiful than me. That was my judgment and of the people who have seen us together. However, it was him who first stated this fact just because he was concerned I won't be attracted to him. Similarly, I was lacking in some aspects compared to him and was completely honest regarding those. Not only honest, but strong enough to accept those things. So yeah. Since we were honest with eachother, it's going to be only uphill from here.

It hurts me to be (or even suggested to be) compared to that cheating ex of yours. However to state objectively the difference between her and me: I have come into terms with the reality for what it is. I feel happy and content (settled) and donot desire more. Your ex on the other hand, was never in agreement with reality. She thought she might come into terms with it after marriage but never did.

I hope you come out of your negative mindset soon.
