I Appreciate Honesty

It’s so difficult finding someone honest anymore. Especially online! And I don’t understand why? If you’re on a dating site, why be someone you’re not? Don’t you want someone to fall for you as YOU?

Yet, I keep trying! I know not everyone is like that. But... damn... there’s a lot of them lol

Honesty is a double edged sword but it shouldn't be too much to ask especially if you're dating someone, online or not.

One of the problems online is lack of accountability. People see it and maybe they want to experiment with their inner patterns in ways which are not conducive to the real world.

Weeding through that can definitely be a chore into itself, and that isn't even taking comparability or physical proximity into consideration.

Sometimes I think online dating is only good in concept. Sites over promise and under deliver, and it's not even the service provider's fault if people aren't genuine, it's just what they're going through, that you shouldn't have to.

I wish people could just be themselves.
