Attractiveness couldn’t overcome the fact that as a partner… he left much to be desired.
Too relatable 🥴
Maybe it was stupid. Maybe I was stupid. But it sure as hell felt good.
But my advice to you, whether it’s him or someone else, is that you can just… date someone. Everything doesn’t have to lead to marriage or even to a relationship. It’s not the end all, be all – not your prize in life. You can have fun just being out with someone – dinner, movies walking the strip, playing golf, whatever. Getting a hotel room and getting your back blown out. Whatever. It’s okay to do that and it not be more than that. If it becomes more, and you’re okay with that, then it does.

“I’m still pretty dazed, but… I’m… also kinda excited.” “Which is crazy,” she countered. “We’re crazy for this.” I shrugged. “That’s fine. We’ll be that together.”
But loving somebody, isn’t being in love, and it doesn’t mean that you’re supposed to be with them.
