Wow, dating is tiring. I’ve known this but recently I’m really feeling it. I went on a date Sunday that wiped me out. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t a particularly great or fun date either. I think having to be “on” was exhausting. He was nervous and talked a lot because of this (self-admittedly). Having to make decisions about the second date has been overwhelming too. Considering both my interests and his. Then the emotional exertion of messaging other guys on the apps and deciding which conversation is worth pursuing. Feeling bad for dropping conversations even if I’m kind of interested because I just can’t juggle that many guys.
I know, I know, I don’t HAVE to talk to that many guys but I get excited and wanna find my guy and give people a fair shot.
Wild that other people in relationships get to sit back and not worry about finding anyone, while others serendipitously just met someone while just living their lives, meanwhile I have to go through this exhausting process for who knows how much longer.
I just want this to be fun and feel good…but I’m freakin spent. Trying to juggle dating AND my regular life (work, socializing, fitness) is too much.
