[Disco] what have your failed attempts at dating left you with?

Appreciation for tea. (medium term dates were tea crazy)

Tea. 1 date gave me tons of tea.

My new favourite sweater. I bought it for a date.

Ticket stubs to dates. I collect ticket stubs and put them in a shoe box.

Not having to be liked: I was trying to hard to ve perfect with an ex that it was exhausting and false. I grew tired that she didn't like that me. Then I realized she didn't know me. I became myself, she didn't like me either. I was liberated

Worth: I was very fortunate to have met someone who saw all my insecurities and reacted well to them. She made me feel normal, fun, and deserving.

A pencil. She gave me a pencil.

A plane ticket (used) we exchanged plane tickets last time we saw each other.

A book by choamsky. I gave her Borges.

An appreciation for poems. I've had meaningful interactions with two dates around poems.

Picking up garbage on the street. Thanks for making me a better person.
