Dating in Your Mid-30s: Ew!

It is overwhelming juggling the healing from other relationships, professional responsibilities, family commitments, co-parenting, finding your single self, endless adulting/chores, etc.

Deep breath. In-Out.

After 12 years out, I have re-entered the dating scene, which, after 200 dates I can officially report it is a disgusting pool of liars.

So why don't I stop and give up?

In my romantic heart, I believe that maybe... just maybe Prince Charming is finally going to swipe on me and sweep me off my feet after endless days of the most mundane conversations about the weather and "how are you?" "good. u?" "good". Eye roll.

After spending hours looking at my phone looking for my next frustration, I've experienced a front row seat at how people are willing to treat others who are looking for a second shot at love.

It's a unique view at dating beause:

-I experienced a glow up that I always dreamed of having when I lost 100 pounds

-I actually follow the Golden Rule

-I assume people have good intentions

It's not a unique view at dating because:

-I have anxiety and depression

-I'm overwhelmed

-I've been in scary situations

My goals with this blog are:

1. Document my experiences with dating apps and the people who populate them.

2. Organize my own thoughts about all of these experiences.

3. Entertain the reader.

Until next time, reader. Deep breath. In-Out.
