I Tried Online Dating

I’m noticing a pattern with people. I think, especially around my age, everyone has been hurt - sometimes multiple times (myself included). But, it’s made a lot of people bitter, untrusting and jaded.

I noticed with myself I struggle sometimes with it too. It’s hard to be vulnerable when you’ve been hurt. Who wants to go through that again? But... I tell myself that not everyone is my ex. It’s not fair to other men to think they’d be the same.

But maybe that explains all the catfishing and personality aggressions I’ve seen. And that makes it hard to open up! It’s like an endless cycle lol

I still hold hope though. You’ll never find the love you’re looking for if you’re not willing to be open and vulnerable. Scary, but necessary ....
