i don’t understand how yall are getting into relationships. Like nowadays it’s just “you’re hot… can i have ur sm.. let’s get to know eachother” but now i know the only reason you wanna get to know me is bc you think im hot and not bc you wanna know me

and there’s only so much I can do with that bc I don’t know how to do small talk without it getting awkward. like- all you said is you think im pretty that’s not a talking point. (i’m not used to any kind of attention like this. like i guess i “glowed up” but im still very much ND and awkward inside )

I couldn’t just meet someone and talk to them with the sole intent being to get into a relationship. I need to meet, be your friend then maybe I’ll like you and we can maybe date. That being said, making friends as an adult is not easy

i date based on values and beliefs. obviously physical attraction plays a big part but you have to weed out the majorly incompatible people so you don’t waste a bunch of time on them. if you don’t date based on shared values and beliefs it’s always going to feel like that. a lot of people date based on looks and that’s it! it’s wild

i feel this, thank you. i have never so much as had a talking stage bc I feel like people just want superficial relationships and no commitments but I want to actually get to know you first. It’s crazy how people think values and morals don’t have to align for a relationship to work but i can’t see how that would work. Looks aren’t everything!!! thank you for ur input/advice

We lost the third place because our situation is constantly getting worse so certain groups are trying to distract people as often as possible
