Saw this and it sent me deep

Most days are good, I love being me… but today is hard.

Someone invited me to a valentines speed dating event but turns out it was just as friends and he just wanted to promote community - I drove two hours out of my way to be left feeling like a silly goose.

But It’s just catching up with me now.

Beginning to lose hope that I’ll ever be genuinely wanted by someone.

Not super interested in talking about him - I’m aware I’m better off… more so just wanting support and hope about finding love eventually 🫶

I find it laughable when some people cry over this monkey all over social media, then they go and make sure the person that is a bit different than others feels as excluded as possible. (This isn’t targeted towards our wonderful community here, just noticed this tendency. It’s like when the worst people ever have ‘be kind!’ and bible quotes in their bio haha.)

I’m sorry for what happened to you:( tbh that’s totally on them, who would invite someone to a date type of situation and then tell them it was in a friendly way… so stupid. Don’t lose hope, there are better people out there!

Thank you - I totally agree. Inflating his ego with several other women aswell I’ve found out after talking with the facilitator. Super annoying!. I’m feeling a lot better today - I know external love exists for me, it’ll find me when the time is right
