Not so much progress

[restless_jedi]

Right. So. Got dumped because my girlfriend concluded she's not attracted to me. And therefore is not attracted to girls. I was fine the day it happened, now I'm angry because I think she turned me into a stranger, which makes attraction a bit tricky, and I question her logic. Anyway. Best not to dwell. I'm done with this dating thing, because when

I'm done with this dating thing, because when this is my most successful dating relationship ever and I'm nearly 26, well. Why bother?

...because you're 25 years old? because you've got a lifetime left to live? because just because these didn't work out doesn't mean another one won't? because you're hurting right now, and making decisions like this is not the most sensible thing to do?

Everything I was told about her, she was a bitch that didn't deserve half of what you gave her. You're not the failure here, love, she is. ~hugs you~

I hope to die young. I don't want to live a lifetime, never have. Half would suit me fine. I don't like or trust the majority of people. Dating them doesn't do much for me. Yes, I have to live without kissing or much cuddling, but otherwise my friendships give me what I want from humanity anyway.

I failed too. I could have pushed for what I wanted far sooner than I did, especially since what I wanted was simply to matter in her life. But see, this is my point. Most successful relationship and everyone says she didn't treat me right. She didn't blame me for her alcoholism/depression, she didn't date me simply because she was jealous a relative brought a significant other to family events. I'm not saying I'll burn down the world and/or become a hermit. Just that dating seems to be a waste of energy.

Those were examples from past relationships, just to be clear.

Ugh, sorry to hear about the break-up.

It's okay. Hopefully it's just more energy I can channel to writing and craft projects.

After my long-term serious relationship ended, I basically decided I was going to be a bitter old maid. So if the dating thing doesn't work out for you, we can be bitter old maids together.

I wish I had a book to edit...beta-ing's a good distraction from life.

My best friend has promised me a greencard marriage so I can move to Sweden. Otherwise I definitely see the pros to being an old maid.

Editing can distract from life, but then life gets very insistent about needing attention. Alas. I'd say you could beta my novel, but I'm putting off writing it at the moment so there's nothing to edit.
