 I’m 20 and have never dated. My standards aren’t too high. One of them is mutual morals. My mom says I shouldn’t restrict myself to only left leaning ppl. How I’m adding more struggles. Is it bad to stand by this?

Stand by those morals, you do not want to marry someone who things you shouldn’t have rights

No it’s not bad. If you’re dating someone they should be adding to your life, otherwise what’s the point in dating if you can be happier and safer by yourself? You have plenty of time and will meet so many people, so stand by your convictions! Just remember a significant other doesn’t create your value

I hear ya. He said something anti immigrant but even as a naturalized citizen it went against my morals. Since I support immigrant’s rights.

Like especially in these tumultuous political times, stand by your values. Nothing wrong with that babe

I think I’d be happier if I could acquire romance. It kills my self esteem to never have it :(

Maybe so, but there’s also so many things in romance that make things difficult. I was in a long term relationship for about 2 years, and as much as it was nice I did so many things for my partner that I look back on and think “how could I let them walk all over me like that? I wasn’t really happy, I just wanted to be loved, I just wanted them to stay” but in the end these last few years of it being me and being comfortable with me and focusing my time and energy on myself and my friendships

was so much better for me. Getting comfortable with myself, being okay with being alone. In the end, no matter if you end up with a spouse or kids, the only person who will always be there for you is you. I understand though, it can be really disheartening for your self esteem, and that’s fair! But like I said before, don’t let someone else create your worth. You may end up being so scared for someone to leave that you’d be unhappy in a relationship anyways

I’ve always been alone tho. I’m very familiar with it. But having someone to love me, want me, desire me is something I crave so much. Being in a relationship isn’t always great. I’m aware of that. But being perpetually alone is just as awful
