I absolutely hate dating I've realized.. I don't want to have these lame ass conversations with people I don't know and make them into people I do know. I don't want to put in the effort to build a relationship into something. I'm tired

Bitches be like "in a few days you treated me better than my ex ever did in a year" and then they vanish and don't ever talk to you again.

A Song For Katla

This is my third book! I wrote it because I wanted to explore queer fiction about people my age, so this is about a 30-something professional government employee relearning to connect to her queerness, her family who have passed on, and the dreams she set aside in an attempt to gain control on her life. Katla is a half pixie, half jotunn lesbian born and raised in Ienia who hasn't dated since before she graduated university, and by happenstance meets a half changeling half elf transbian who ran to Ienia to chase her dream of becoming a rock star, and escape her family. Together they explore what dating in your thirties when you're already locked into a life path that makes you happy, but wanting more out of it anyways.

Real men do suck big time, lol. I've tried it all and even got ghosted in real life, so I haven't been able to date anyone. I understand where you're coming from and how much it hurts. It's not wrong to hanker love and intimacy. I'll continue to love fictional men in my delusional head, they'll take good care of me. If it makes us happy, that's all that matters. I also know what it's like to feel drained creatively, been through it a lot. Currently am. The ageist mindset some men have is horrible too. I'm 33, but sometimes get creepy remarks from 60-70 year old men since I look 19 to them. I've nothing against older men, but I wish most wouldn't treat women past 25 like we're suddenly unworthy and undeserving. We're desirable, lovable, and deserving of respect like any human being. Chin up, dear! I'll fight anyone for you. I'm a fellow Bi-Han and Syzoth lover, though I also adore Tomas! Hehe.

Dating in your 30s is soooo hard, I don’t want a 60+ year old man, I just want a guy in his 40s but no, I’m not young enough for a man close to my age. I still look younger but the actual number is apparently important. It’s just all so frustrating and I’m over it, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with the same garbage lovely. But yes! We have our wonderful fictional lovers to keep us company 🥰 For the record I adore Tomas too, he’s so sweet 🥹

Hello dear Internet friends,

So much has happened since my last update - things I didn't think would actually come to pass.

The long and short of it is that I'm splitting up with my long-time partner, of over 6 years. We'd be celebrating our 7 year anniversary in two weeks... how crazy is it that we're not?

I feel like I'm starting life all over again; I know it sounds dramatic, but he's been such a constant, stable part of my life all through medical school and beyond, and I feel like I'm more than a little lost now. I still miss him every day.

And rejoining the dating pool in your 30s? Scary, let me tell you. The dating pool itself? Even more scary.

How are you doing, in life and love? Share below [sob stories only, please]!

21st century dating is a trip!

I just came to the realization that I only started dating in the 21st century (I'm in my late 30s but didn't start interacting with guys like that until my late teens). Obviously things are different now than they were 20 years ago, but the online dating revolution began way back then.

I used dating sites on a computer in my younger days (before phones had that capability), and of course it was a bit different than it is today. However, I think that's where the whole concept of having a "menu", if you will, of potential dates to choose from began.

As long as it's agreed upon, people nowadays can choose each other for dates like we choose our groceries... And having this virtual catalog of potential matches to choose from is so vastly different from how previous generations operated.

My parents met at a party in the 70s. My dad's parents met at the hospital they both worked at in the 40s. My mom's parents were from the same small town in Vermont and met when my grandmother was 18, also in the 40s.

The way people meet is often different than it was way back when, and my theory is that because of this, it affects the way that people even approach dating in the first place. If the only options for dating are a handful of people in a small town, or one's co-workers, perhaps that's part of why dating seemed more "human" back then.

Now that "swiping" between potential dates is not only a part of the vernacular but also part of the culture, no wonder that dating can be so dehumanizing! Ghosting, the slow fade, etc are all things that are a part of 21st century dating in a way that they were NOT a part of 20th century dating.

I don't know what the solution is, but I think recognizing these generational differences in dating could be a start.

Apparently asking someone how their week is going is a triggering event and is something they never want to be asked since it is a mindless question. I shant be talking to this person anymore.

I drove 30 hours straight to Nevada to see Babreham for two days, and now I am driving 28 hours to Tennessee to see my mom for less than a day to drive 14 hours home from there. It's over 6000 miles said and done. I'm so tired. I really think I needed to see Babreham though. Or at least needed something. I am thinking about ending things with him. I'm currently waiting till January. If he comes back to work near me and things go well I will have an honest conversation with him. Not about ultimatums, but about my own boundaries. I need someone who chooses me, actively, and who makes an effort to allow me into their world. This stonewalling isn't working for me. I need connection, and I need someone who wants to connect. I'm scared to have this conversation. But I think I will be ready?

It's funny to think about how much I've grown and healed. I think as much as Babreham is not a perfect partner, he has been a really good person to help me to work through things. To allow myself to actively see things happening, feeling myself get triggered, having conversations about what's going on, not realizing I'm triggered and saying a bunch of stuff and reflecting on it all. It's helped a lot with my growth. But I need someone who wants me, wants to choose me, and wants to be loved by me. I have such a great and deep capacity for love, grace, and compassion. Someone will appreciate it in a way that is fulfilling to me too. I deserve better than being held at arm's length.

But for now... I drove across country to see him and it felt really good. And I'm okay with the decisions I made

Not me wanting to date and have healthy relationships but can’t because I’m emotionally unavailable from years of trauma having all of my boundaries violated.

I just fucking hate dating apps. I deleted them all and I’m just like where do I even find what I’m looking for? Do I need to just move towns and start fresh? Cuz this hell hole has no one that even remotely interests me. I wish speed dating was still a thing! Like why are we so hell bent on dating apps being the only way to meet people? Like sign me up for a group dating activity! I’ll be there lookin fine as hell ready to find my soul mate 👏🏻

The only thing I got from the She-Hulk trailer is that Jennifer Walters is a 90’s baby.
