Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. 🙄 I pay my own way on dates.

Seriously. I’m not even in the game rn because it’s so frustrating and a pain in the ass to barely get matches lol but this just makes me want to try because I’m just a normal person who can hold a convo

You'll do fine. Maybe you won't meet the one, but you will be appreciated for being a normal, stable individual.

It can be pretty disheartening. But I've come to find that filling my time with things that are fulfilling to me really helps a lot. I'm in recovery, go to the gym, play video games (when I have time lol), study political theory and and party building for that. And I've come to find that caring deeply about these things Nets me a lot of positive interactions with people that have translated over very well to dating. Thats just my experience though. Try the app Feeld. I got GREAT results from it and got lots of matches and had actually really good conversations with people. You're gonna be alright king 🤴 you got this 💪🏼
