Relationships, marriage, and kids are all expectations in today’s society. I remember the summer I graduated college. A relative saying now that you have a degree, it’s time to think about marriage. I looked at them and said “Not yet.”
Thinking about it all sounds exhausting. Lots of us go on date after date, trying to search for something. It can be for a relationship, temporary hookup, or for another reason. Some of us go with ” no expectations.” One thing we never really stop and ask ourselves is why do we show up?
Dating has become so common nowadays. You can find a date anywhere. In person is no longer the only choice to meet. There are dating apps, social media, and other social platforms.
There are many online resources for questions on dating, etc. What happens when you experience a unique situation. That social media or google can’t answer. What then?
Saying yes to another date seems to be the only choice. At this point you find yourself running in circles. From work to everyday life, it becomes an endless busy cycle. Have you learned your lesson?
Time passes, fast as fuck per usual. You find yourself at another family or social event. A relative or acquaintance, catches up with you on how life is going. Then ask are you with anyone? Jokingly you respond with “Not yet.” Once you’re home you start thinking, what’s next?
