Dating to marry will make you realize that the "plenty of fish in the sea" narrative is false. alot of people are really not worth that level of intimacy.
Someone said: You really canโt scare off a guy whoโs genuinely into you, you could literally throw a rock at him and heโd still be like, โdamn, she mustโve had a rough day."
Hear me when I say this: loving someone who constantly hates themselves can slowly teach you to hate yourself too. You can support someone through their struggles, but you shouldnโt have to lose yourself trying to convince them theyโre worthy of love.
