Oof you know this subject brought up alot. We have talked about them. I wanted things to happen on my timeline, I felt ready, but clearly was not, so kept repeating the same pattern and attracting the wrong men. I definitely am in that season of I threw in the towel and dating is out. Was it an enjoyable experience, nope, do I want to go on a bunch of first dates that lead no where or just into a state of confusion, distractions and rejection, nope. Not worth the mental or emotional energy or the time wasted or opening my heart, I put alot of energy into to getting to know each person I went on a date with and in the end it was disappointment after disappointment. Do I get lonely, absolutely, pretty much there is a point in every day I feel that but after the last guy I have zero desire to even attempt to date for a long time. I have to focus on doing the work and healing and getting closer to God so I am not tempted to fall back into what is comfortable.
