Dating: a success

[Starbrush]

I realized, I never updated on the story with him. I’ll put it in simple terms: he was just using me, as I had feared. He caused quite a few panic attacks, self hatred and a very bad period of feeling weak and alone. That being said, it opened me up to a new opportunity and a new friend. Dating is a choice, there are options out there, I just hadn’t seen them before. So with a little bit of positivity, I was introduced to a group of people a few weeks ago, by one of my close guy friends. I created new friendships and found someone I was beginning to fall for. It was very quick, we instantly enjoyed talking to each other, so we gave each other our phone numbers, social media etc. in less than a week we had talked for hours on audio calls and in person. (I should mention I’m not really good at telling when someone likes me back.. ) so we decided to go out and have fun. On a beautiful and warm Saturday, I went to a skatepark, fully aware that I’d probably embarrass myself at my limited ability at skating, but alas, I went. The friendly meet up soon turned into a date and It was probably the best date I’ve ever been on. I’ve never had so much fun learning something new. Especially with the amount of times I’ve fallen over- and been caught by him before falling to the ground. All this to say, I’ve went on several other dates with him, he’s sweet, caring and makes me laugh. We share quite a few interests and he genuinely takes my best interests at heart. Especially now that he knows about my anxiety and is aware of any red flags of a panic attack. For the first time in quite a long while, I’m properly dating again, having fun, letting go of my failures. It feels good, really good.

Such a beautiful story, as from the movie. The main thing is that with a happy ending. This is great. Me, too, for a long time can not start a relationship after a bad story of my life. I liked a guy who was 12 years older than me. I liked him very much, that I fantasized how I would marry him and give birth to his children. But, it turned out , I was wrong. He didn't even explain our separation, all ended those, that we simply say "hello" to each other under casual meeting , that's all. But my heart was broken. Now, remembering this, I understand that, then, I did not appreciate myself and did not engage in self-development. Because it's the success of any relationship. If you are realized, people will appreciate you, too. I have read various books and articles on this issue. Especially, I liked this article brilic.com/en/blog/112 . If I apply in life what it says there, I will improve the quality of my life. And I can hope for a good relationship.
