Dating Stage — I'm Conflicted
Following the recent events and some catastrophic — or very confusing — dates, I’ve decided to make some changes.
Consider this part 2 of the original post:
at the end of which I said I was going to stay the same.
Oh honey, but nobody stays the same.
Changes I might make:
don’t open up so much, try not to overshare (keep the mystery alive)
only judge people based on their actions, not what they say and definitely not on my inflated expectations of them. Talk is cheap.
make sure they deserve my love, make sure they’re a good, honest person before giving them the whole world
I think I might just go back to focusing on myself
Changes I won’t make:
being a gentleman: opening the door for her, making sure she’s safe, buying her flowers
being honest
I won’t give up on who I am and what I’m looking for
“And in the end, we accept it. We shake hands with the devils, and we walk past them.”
