I hate dating apps but I think I convinced myself at some point that it was just enough effort to use them so I didn’t have to try irl but just hopeless enough that I’d never have to worry about actually getting into a relationship.

I went on a date recently that went really well and we’re going on another tomorrow

Its been about 8 years since my last serious relationship, and that only lasted a couple months. So I’m going to try and take these next steps slowly and carefully…
