A week ago I was feeling really defeated by the dating scene. I felt unattractive, unwanted, unlovable and all the rest of it. I know those things aren’t true about myself but it’s easy to fall into that mindset when it seems like no one wants you as their special person. I got rejected by a guy I really liked a few months ago, and I never really told anyone this, but I kind of gave up on the idea of finding someone after that.
About a week ago, I met a new guy. We’ve only been on one date, but so far he’s made me feel more comfortable than any guy ever has and has been the most kind, beautiful person I could have asked for. Please don’t let anyone treat you in any way that makes you feel bad, because I put up with that shit for a long time and I really didn’t have to. This date was a reminder to me that there are beautiful people out there who will treat you with respect. I don’t know what will happen with this guy, but after meeting a lot of not so nice people in the past few years, I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time that it may have all been worth it.
This is the kind of post I would have read a while ago and thought “yeah yeah, good for you…doesn’t mean that’ll happen to me” but please please please have faith because you never know what’s around the corner. You deserve someone loving and respectful who will accept you as you are, so pleeeaaase never give up on finding that <3
