My answer to this might be a little subversive: feel sad. I certainly do, and not just about being single. I’m tired of always feeling the need to wear a public face. I want to be real and if I feel sad, I want to just feel sad, and I don’t want to hide it because it’s socially forbidden. I’m looking to meet other real people, who want to feel optimistic (and confident and happy, etc.) but often don’t. It’s okay to just feel sad. At some point you’ll start feeling something else. We are allowed the full range of human emotion, single or not.
My experience has been a little different. I’ve met a lot of lovely men and women online dating. I just haven’t felt “it.” If I like the person I’ll generally go on a handful of dates, but if I’m not feeling it, after awhile it seems like a waste of everyone’s time.
I’m just sick of dating in general. When I meet someone in the “real” world I wish I had a profile to look at to tell me if there are any obvious deal breakers. But online dating profiles are personas so no matter what there will always be a time investment to try to find out whether you are attracted to who the person actually is u red all their different surfaces. I’m still looking for a way to move much more quickly to what’s real.
