It’s a new month and a new season (hopefully, this is Southern Ontario). Today I hid/disabled my online dating accounts and deleted the apps from my phone. It almost feels like a relief. The best things I was getting out of it were jokes to share with you guys!
Online dating is A LOT OF WORK! I had changed my profile to reflect a more serious search. I put a lot more information about what I was searching for and about myself. This did not stop people from sending brief messages (“hey” does not get my attention) or soliciting sex which is not what I’m looking for. Weeding through profiles and photos can be tiring. Seeing the same faces over and over is discouraging, as is receiving no responses when you send genuine messages.
So I don’t know what that means for this blog. Hopefully I’ll be posting some more adventurous things, more road trips, self-dates and lots of friend time!
I do want to find a partner and an equal. I am not greedy or selfish, and I am not picky or discriminatory. What I want in a partner is simple, but apparently not easy to find. I just want to find my equal and someone who:
- enjoys their life, enjoys their job
- loves live music as much as I do
- challenges me intellectually
- I can learn from
- has passion and love in their heart; can be sympathetic and empathetic
- a great listener
- independent and adult (financially and emotionally)
What I really want is someone who can embrace “together but separate”. I do not want my “other half” because I feel like I am a whole person; I want someone to stand beside me and that we can lean on each other for support.
So there it is, I’ve put it out into the universe and I hope it will come back to me! That’s the best I can do.
You can find some of my adventures on instagram!
