I’ve just got back into dating and to be honest, it’s a dumpster fire.
I found a really good match with my future wants (Emotionally intelligent, sweet, funny, stable, wants kids, etc.) but they’re completely new to dating and want to take things slow when I’ve been taking things slow/waiting on people my entire life.
I instantly became bored and I feel like shit about it.
I’m realizing more and more that I really want intimacy (both emotional and physical) and I haven’t had that in any relationship I’ve been in.
They’re good people don’t get me wrong, but my exes are all casual or wanting me for some other reason (status, just to be held, attention, etc.).
So what’s the difference between that and hookup stuff? I need a serious relationship eventually but they’re never fulfill me which just makes me feel worse than not giving into my want for intimacy.
I’ve got 2 jobs, friends, networking, family, etc. I have all the distractions and sure it’ll suck not ever being in a secured relationship with any of these people or being anyone’s gf, but what’s even the point if I feel like they look at me like I’m fragile if I even be nice to them.
Has anyone else felt like this? Or like has any advice?
