Meanwhile, I had to report somebody to Tinder today for bestiality so ๐ Dating is just so fun and not at all objectly terrifying and a surprisingly efficient way to find out that you are geographically surrounded by absolutely terrifying people
Just screaming into my own little corner of the void that ya girl has not gotten railed for a year and a half now and I am wildly unhappy about it. Can't fuck someone that won't do the bare minimum (public 1st meeting, give a crap about me as a human, etc) so just...crickets.
I could maybe understand it if there had been some kind of awkward exchange, or if I had said or done something outrageous, but I didn't. That's why I'm baffled, there is zero reason for this. I don't change the way I act or express myself while getting to know someone.
Don't do poly if you don't have your shit together. I know this is just me screaming into the void because it's essentially a relationship trope at this point, but I've just had two months of my time and effort wasted by somebody that flipped affection off like a lightswitch.
This too shall pass, etc etc.
Feeling used in the unfun way. I get brought into someone's world as a stabilizing agent, a comfort object, a balm, and get emotionally left on read once they've recovered.
I deserve better, and I need to start demanding it.

@tunesister@wrenneedsrest @jusstoptalking @Mike20193649 Also recruiters are lazy AF and will grab the text straight from the company more often than not. Look for a sentence that doesn't look like it had the company name scrubbed out of it and Google search it in " " quotes for an exact search. You'll usually find it!
@wrenneedsrest Don't forget Tinder cost goes up if you're older, and they charge more every time you start then stop your membership. If I ever wanted to give them a dime again, they want $18.99 a WEEK from me. A WEEK.
Ey @Google@googlemaps might want to delete this account; He's using your program to show his genitals to damn near everyone, regardless of age. Your reporting feature doesn't have anything for explicit images, huge oversight.
I thought LinkedIn was as bad as it would get for weird, annoying sexual harassment in baffling, inappropriate internet places.
I was wrong.
Lemme introduce y'all to Ed, who evidently thinks it's A-ok to force Google Guides like myself to look at his dick via PUBLIC icon.
And I mean if he's just trying to be kind, fine, but why the good morning texts? Why check in on me? I feel like he's cozying up digitally but actively avoiding me, and no he doesn't have a girlfriend or wife or anything. It's just...weird. I'm tired, y'all.
Sigh. Dating continues to be an endless headache. I can't figure out if this guy is just....really clueless or trying to curve me. He keeps calling me hon and beautiful but when I drop a suggestion for a date...crickets. We've had two dates already.
I have made it clear that I don't expect him to pick up the tab on anything, clearly communicated that I am into him too, that I would really like to continue what we're building, insinuated that I'm looking forward to getting physical when we're both ready...
It's naive to think all relationships / situationships are going to end in warm fuzzies, obviously, but enough former lovers would smile and wave if they spotted me on a crowded street to tell me I'm doing something fundamentally right.
I will never regret making myself into a person that past partners think of fondly, and still approach for advice and friendship. Even as I struggle to feel valued and respected walking forward through dating, I realize I've been important to so many I met along the way.
