Syd And The City 001

Sigh…another failed first date. Well I don’t want to say “failed” because this could be the start of a great friendship or lesson, there’s always something to be learned. But another first date that hasn’t led to a second date. It is what is, it’s just annoying. I had a good time though and the girl was nice, it just wasn’t the right fit. I feel like there’s still so much more I need to learn about myself and what I desire in a partner. That knowledge might make this dating journey easier. I’m barely dipping my toes back into the dating pool, so I wasn’t expecting much, just hoping to have a good time. And I did. One thing that I will give myself a pat on the back for is my ability to keep it moving. There was a time in my life where I would kind of linger around in hopes that I would be “picked.” Never really expressing my feelings and just going with the flow, that was AWFUL. I’m so thankful to have established enough respect for myself and my time. I’m now forcing myself to seek clarity to save my future self any heartbreak that could be avoided. If someone is unsure about you, they’ll probably be unsure/not into you in a few months and vice versa. Unless they explicitly say otherwise. It’s hard to figure out everything after only one date, but bare minimum there should be a definitive idea about if there will be a second date. If not, I gotta keep it pushing.
