Do I even like him or has he left me on delivered just long enough for me to question my self worth and attach it to his approval?
If that sounds like you then, congratulations, you’re probably a single woman who’s had the displeasure of being attracted to men!
Look, I’ve been here before, but I never fucking learn.
This is a new low. I believe all their bullshit. Every damn time. Not because I have low self esteem like they think, but because I know I deserve the real thing. So when they dangle their evil little ‘I miss you’s in front of my face, I think ‘yeah, of course you do, I’d miss me too’. But our generation, being as fucked up as we are, is innately kinky. The little masochists sentence themselves to a lifetime of missing me. Probably still recovering from the trauma of their hamster’s death when they were three, never been able to love since then. Bless ‘em.
I don’t want you to say what you think I want to hear, I want you to just say what you’re thinking. Same men that ‘value honesty above all else’ mind you. It’s not even the ghosting that bothers me (lie) it’s all the bullshit I’m fed right before it. ‘Can’t wait to see you’ *ghost*, ‘I love your vibe’ *ghost*, ‘you’re so funny’ *ghost*, ‘I’m in love with you’ *ghost*, ‘I’ve never felt like this before’ *ghost*
In search of a cliff to throw myself off, please let me know if you have any recs xo
As a 26-year-old single, straight woman, it is criminal that I’ve never watched Sex and The City. But have no fear, I am rectifying this major personality flaw. And I think, maybe, I might have chosen a rather pivotal time in my life to do so.
Aside from this being the first time that I’ve actively dated, it’s also the first time I’ve been single with single friends, which is absolutely the core of the show. Because everyone knows it isn’t the date that makes dating fun, it’s always the debrief.
Having not lived under a rock though, I have been aware of the icon that is Samantha Jones for some time. And now, having watched the first three episodes of SITC, I’ve decided to take her advice on board.
I’m going to start fucking dating like a man—It’s 2025, no one can move out of their parents’ house, unfortunately the adjustment has been made out of necessity, not choice.
Emotions? Not for me. Romance? Unnecessary for dating. Saving their numbers? Not until there’s a ring. Compliments? Only right before I cut them off. Attachment? Who is she. Manipulation? Only for my favourites.
Anyways, I’m going to go stare at my phone until he replies.
Oh Samantha Jones the woman you are
Genuinely laughed so deep!
