Why dating fucking sucks
Its interesting how people can present themselves to others on initial contact. Specficially when we meet people that we want to be romantically involved with. There’s always the tendency to present our best self. We display our best pieces, our myspace-camera-angled photos of our person. We spread our tail feathers, and especially with the use of social media, we are able to literally display all our glittery, shiney parts to potential mates.
People are not fixed pieces. They are not all glittery and shiney. I’m not full of rainbows and unicorns. I am tarnished. So are you.
I’m not interested in people displaying only their good peices to me. I find your life and your history of value and importance. I find your scars to be more meaningful than your bright eyes.
And I’m not interested in people initially portraying themselves and what they want out of life falsely to people. I’m not interested in being romantically involved with people who are still confused about how they see themselves in relationships with others.
I just want people to be honest, and I guess that’s a naieve thing I will always cling to. Why can’t we just be honest and respectful? If you want an open relationship, that’s great- be HONEST to people you pursue romantically so they are aware before they get hurt.
Be honest to people about your values and beliefs. Find people that share similar beliefs and values on relationships. Don’t lead people on. Be kind to each other. These hearts are delicate things, at least I know mine is.
