Meeting my girlfriend’s parents tonight. Excited for another little step in our relationship.
Mornin’ y’all! Real relationships start when you stop performing and let someone meet who you actually are. The bravest thing you can do is be your unpolished self.
This is the most fun I’ve ever had with dating. And I’m here for it.
Always have put so much pressure on myself before. This still slips in some, but I’ve gotten so much better at just having fun and taking it day by day.
I’ve got date #4 with someone penned in for Saturday and I think I need to cancel. She is smart, talented, candid, considerate, absolutely gorgeous … and I just feel close to nothing. When I see a text come in it feels like something to get to later, not something that brightens my moment and day. Funny when you align with someone on paper but in practice the vibes just aren’t there *at all.* Fortunately this isn’t a serious dating thing so the convo shouldn’t be too upsetting.
On the other end of things, I’m *finally* meeting up with someone I gave my number to way back in late August. We’ve been sporadically texting since September and we’re going to hang out next-next week. Trying to temper my excitement and not get ahead of myself. She’s really cute and we chat and talk serious and joke *so* well.
Question for women (& any men who feel like answering).
What’s something a guy can do or have to make their place seem more comfortable/make you feel at home?
Obviously being clean & organized is the baseline but any other touches or things to have?
Maintaining optimism is just so hard sometimes
I am beginning to seriously consider seeing my doctor for antidepressants. If things don’t start to improve after the holidays, I don’t know what else to do. I can’t just be crying all day, struggling at work and not being able to eat or sleep, at least not long term. I would lose everything.
A close friend isn’t getting married after all though, so a trip somewhere nice with him is back on the table once I can gather up some pennies.
I got my first workout in months in today! It felt so good to just be able to lift again. I have to start small again, the most I could lift was 60lbs compared to 100-120 before. But it felt good to just move again. I also bought myself an electronic drum set last week, and that was another good choice. Ending this year in a high note. Cheers 🍻
