I met my man in person. He's 5'6" and the best and sexiest man I've ever met. He is the most consistent and straightforward man I've ever dated. His eyes and eye contact are absolute fire! That could never be revealed online. That's why it's important to meet. So happy we met!

The problem with dating apps is that you invest time in random strangers over and over again just to learn they might totally be not your type, ghost you or chat inappropriately after 3 days of texting. And this over and over for days, until you meet someone in person and than the same things happening maybe. That’s the burnout. It’s happening before even meeting. It’s just from being treated poorly from people who don’t want to invest anymore because they have been down the cycle or because they have so many options Edit: tried to edit some spelling mistakes. Sorry

The problem is that a lot of people refuse to grow and their motto is “take me like I am because I won’t change.”

People don't need an app.. but the courage to be real, the courage to cross an unrealistic list.. People are not a product

What about people in their 80's. We want the same thing as everyone else.

This season isn’t a pause. it’s formative. The confidence, discernment, and self-trust you build now will shape every relationship you have later.
