So much of it sucks. Goin on dates is fuckin exhausting. Then things eventually don't work out and you have to repeat the process. How people can be bothered is beyond me.

Went on a date a while ago, had a good time, but in the end she either wasn't into or just bad at showing she was. Either way, took the L there. I don't mind the rejection so much though, cos it gives me hope that theres people out there who I'm at least interested in.

Went on a date with a new person today. Was excited to go on it, we got on well over text. Came to in person and I just didn't click with em so well. I dunno. Maybe I'm being too harsh. I couldn't really tell how she felt about the date to be honest. Not sure if it's worth the effort of finding out.

Weirdly I feel like first dates went better if I'd been a whore for them over Instagram first.

    I feel so bad for people today. My romantic period was pre social media and in many ways I've refused to use social media was on the other side of the digital divide for the longest didn't get a smart phone until 2015 - it's only made me lazier and stupid really. I've been with my partner almost like two decades they lived next door in my flat complex. First date/hang we broke into a few local hotel swimming pools and got kicked out of all of them. Been together ever since best thing that ever happened to me. I would suggest to move beyond the algorithm and make some real connections if you really want love instead of social security, social reproduction etc. But what the hoot does my dumb ass know?

      Yeah you're definitely right. That swimming pool thing sounds like a dream. Thing is, unless you're really lucky I feel like with in person stuff I'd end up settling - cos they're right there so it's nice n easy. I've done that before and don't want to do it again. Just holding out for good luck I spose.
