@corduroy

this happened to me so many times while i was dating around a lot i just gradually developed an insane sixth sense for these people and learned not to give them even an inch. so the problem might fix itself eventually. but boy it sucks

BOOOO🍅 I’m so sorry this happened to you. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. This has happened to me more than I’d like (and has been the only experience I’ve ever had with romance). It sucks and I don’t understand why anyone does it either. :( I hope you find genuine love soon !! <3

@VALOORIE thank you :,) i hope the same for you! gotta remind myself that if things don’t work out, they weren’t meant to be anyways!

attention doesn't mean intention, intention doesn't mean love

Told to me by a close friend, who subsequently read it somewhere. We were discussing lovebombing and all these new strange things out there in the dating scene. This has stuck.

loving someone even if they’ll never say it back

this is a targeted rec and it may be pathetic, but only slightly. really what i love about this is the realization of love’s power. you can get the shit kicked out of you emotionally and still feel love. the very thing that kicks you down is the one that will raise you up and i just find that so touching. the yearning sucks, but the love is what keeps me going and ultimately it’s what’s made me happy in the end.

Fucking hate love bombers

I'm so so tired of people( just men actually) being so nice to you until they just have to have sex and then hit u with the " I don't want anything serious " like???? Don't act like you're obsessed with me then?? Or be nice to me ?? Atleast have the balls to tell me in the beginning what you want so I don't waste my own fucking time.
