Allow yourself to be vulnerable and lovable

Keywords: love , patterns , relationships , dating , introspection

You focus on loving yourself, because without self-love, you cannot love another human. And you need to understand someone else does not complete you. As a person who would love a long term partner yesterday, I know this future partner cannot save me, fix me, or 100% fulfill me as there are too many wants and needs in my lifetime to be the responsibility of one person. That does not mean I need multiple partners. It means I am trying to apply healthy expectations of what I look for in a partner. I do not want a lust based relationship. And that has nothing to do with the sexual desire and intimacy that comes from physical attraction, mental attraction, intimate connection, what have you. I want love that is founded on something more than my mind and body telling me I have chemistry because I am pulled towards another toxic relationship.

You let me go slowly by not noticing me

I was craving for you, for your touch, your love and you pushed me away and blame it on me. I know you had your interests, but don’t you think I should have been one of them?

A soulmate doesn’t have to mean forever — you might have multiple “ones” in your life and that is perfectly fine

Keywords: casual dating

Yes, you will move on and there will be many men you will connect with. Sometimes, it really is about the universe choosing a person for you for a moment in time. Some men are there for a reason or a season, as they say. I don’t think you should abandon the idea of true chemistry. Yes it’s real. Don’t think you missed your chance or that you’ll never find another man better than him. You will. I have to tell myself the same thing a lot. It actually drove me to do casual dating and to be more careful with my heart. This might be your journey as well. Remember that dating is about you and your needs, not theirs. Loving yourself is the most important thing. It could be a great lesson or even make you see how unimportant it is to date. It’s very liberating to not put a huge emphasis on pleasing a man and to only make YOU happy.

Is it ever acceptable to ghost someone?

This was a question I had been asking myself.

A few weeks ago, a friend and I had been discussing the appropriate ways to end things with someone you’d been seeing briefly. There were many factors to consider: how long you’d known each other, how many dates you’d been on, the timeframe that the number of dates took place, whether you met on an app or met through friends, and, of course, if things had gotten physical.

All of these culminated to one overall point: how much of an explanation do you feel you owe this person?

I for one thought that when you’re date or two in, it was perfectly reasonable to just never speak again if you feel things are not progressing/there’s no chemistry/whatever. However, after a certain amount of time, I felt a conversation would be necessary for appropriate closure. I couldn’t pin down a time frame…

I’ve never experienced being in love because I don’t want to lose myself. And that’s a statement. I am young, I have fire in me, I want to achieve things and the way I’m saying it might seem self centred or selfish but the truth is I’m okay with being alone, I’m at peace.

There is so much pressure for people to be in relationships, to be with someone, and some people, because of that, can’t for the life of them be alone. They are lost and they do not who they are because they have always been with someone else.

We should learn to be alone with ourselves before we get into a relationship. Being alone is okay -don’t shame people for being alone and don’t feel bad for being single. Enjoy life the way you want – whether that’s doing what excites you, learning new things, being friends…
