i’m 23 and i’ve never been in a relationship, never been on a date, never really had a talking stage, never even held hands with a guy, etc. and while i do want a bf and a healthy relationship someday, i’m also so tired of talking about men all the time 😭

i might crave those things, esp bc i’ve never experienced them before, but there are so many beautiful and fulfilling aspects of life that have absolutely nothing to do with men. i’m just so tired of dating and relationships being the center of everything. there’s literally so much more to life than men 😭

I’m also 23 and I’ve never been in a relationship. I’ve had talking stages and a few dates and…it’s a waste of time. Men bring issues majority of the time. Even in a relationship with them you never know. It’s “boyfriend” day today and the guy that essentially stalked me for months, after I blocked him he popped out into a relationship 3 weeks later posted his gf. Like I’d never want to be on the other end of that, like ever.

i was you once, and then i snapped became unhinged + unapologetically myself. it somehow worked for me. i’m 28 now in a relationship. when guys would dm me i would intentionally scare them a bit so they’d be on their toes. i would say things like hey babygirl or emasculate them as a joke. for me it worked because i want a man who kisses the ground i walk on. my advice is you gotta figure yourself out firmly before dating, it’s best if you’re happy before considering dating anyway

It sounds like you need friends who aren’t male centered to hang out with or talk to. I’m not gonna “you’re not missing out” you to death bc ppl do it to me but you are correct! There are other and better things in life than dating especially dating men.
