I met someone in November 2023 and March 2024.
I was looking for a friend.
But they weren’t interested in being friends.
After that I stopped trying to make friends.
..
Since I started dating in 2019, I would have spoken to around 200-250 men.
I fell in love just twice.
With Will and Ginny.
Most of them were a mess.
I rejected half of them while texting.
Some of them rejected me.
I met some and rejected them after the first date.
Some of them were fake accounts.
Some of them were really good but I didn’t love them.
I dated a few casually.
After Ginny, I met and spoke to so many men who were really good and interested in me.
But I let them go.
…
So yeah.
This is why I said you’ll meet hundreds of people in your life because I did.
After this dating experience, I don’t break my head over temporary people.
And I learnt how to keep it casual.
Also, I learnt to move on quickly.
…
It’s because I kept saying no to all the men whom I spoke to and kept moving on, that I met Ginny.
If I had given up after a few bad experiences, I wouldn’t have met her.
But I didn’t give up.
I’m Ted Mosby that way.
And I finally found my Ted Mosby.
After Ginny, I spoke to around 50 men.
I realised I’m not going to fall in love again.
So after July I stopped dating.
…
I’m not interested in dating anymore.
Even if Ginny comes back or not.
I know she’s going to come back.
But even if she doesn’t. (hypothetically)
I’m not going to date again.
After what happened, I don’t think I can.
I’m not really deprived of physical intimacy so I’ll be okay.
I can live without sex.
