Good luck on your journey, and may you find happiness with the first cup of the perfect made coffee/tea made by your hands (or the hands of a barista ... :) )

It is all about the journey, and the big question for anyone on a transactional system that is meant for the quick thrill (aka dating lottery scratch and win), is why are you here.

Of course people being people, enter into the lies and deception ...

I do believe the systems electronically that matter would be higher quality venues (such e.g. medium) where people write, edit, and share. The key thing is to build your circle of people, where they add happiness, positivity and more people.

It is also important IMO more so for women, that they use that commonality y'all have, and try to bring in a platonic way men that meet some of the criteria of your groups and friends.

I am not saying co-opt them, but increase the circle into a friend-of-friends and hopefully some of the social groups have a local physical play to it.

Make that the meet of the electronic search for love in all the wrong places :) and then add a dash of the app love (if so desired).

Happy confident people "always" attract. The problem is being in venue and places where folks can get together because to quote "Norm Peterson of Cheers" ... we live in a dog eat dog world, and I am wearing milk bone underpants.

Letting go will set you free, and the most important thing is when the rejection hits, and life "sucks" at dating, it pales in comparison to one's real life.

By doing this IMO, one no longer falls into the trap of toxic codependency or living a life with a person half lived.

I do believe you will find one or more folks along your travels, but I personally will never judge someone's success in the halls of relationships.

I am not God (dess). I will never earn that right "ever".
