Weekly Vents and Successes Thread - May 16, 2022

Ahh that’s my fear :(. I just really want to be done dating… it’s so exhausting and takes forever and I just want to be in love. And he meets a lot of criteria that is hard to find. Idk maybe the spark will grow- I have read about that. And I also know sometimes we are attracted to people that play our unhealthy dynamics from our childhood and I do have a habit of being drawn to guys like my father (avoidant, cold, intelligent, brooding) and aside from intelligent (which this guy is), I don’t want to be drawn to people like that.

Like- I intensely felt a spark for a guy (friend of a friend) a month ago because he got angry about too many people having been invited to a gathering. That + his affect is what drew me in. And idk I’m just already so particular about what I want in a guy… I am tired of dating, it would be nice to be able to just settle down. Plus I do feel fairly into him sometimes. It could potentially have to do with having guards up?
