Theory of Three Loves - Part 2
He came into my life very soon after I was raped. In my mind, a relationship was out of the question. My brain was still trying to process the trauma that I was quickly burying away. Self confidence had been tossed out the window and I hated my body. There were just so many reasons why I should not date, but he made them all disappear.

Something’s Gotta Give
A little over 3 years ago, I met my now husband. We were both working at an animal rescue; I was the kennel manager and he was my first trainee. We bonded very quickly over our love of the dogs we were caring for, and we quickly began spending a lot of time together. This was a second job for Ben, his full time job was working overnight at Home Depot. He spent almost every morning with me at the kennel, we ended up showing up to shifts together to help each other, went out to lunch afterwards, and then went he would go home to nap and take care of his dog. We started dating a couple months after meeting, and 5 months in, we got our first apartment together. He ended up leaving Home Depot to work for someone we met through the rescue, and things started to spiral a bit from there. His hours became sparse, and he was essentially on call 24/7. We didn’t even get to spend our first Valentine’s Day together because the woman he was working for needed him the entire day. Eventually, he had enough of being take advantage of and began working at Petco, hoping his old position of dog trainer would become available.

The One Line That Meant This Guy Was Never Getting A Second Date. Top Story - August 2022.
When I was young, I used to believe people wrote off relationships quicker than they changed underwear. I would see my friends break up after a few dates or a few short months. And thought it sad.

Modern Dating: How to Appear Interested Without Overdoing It
Dating is a complicated game. It can also be really confusing for both men and women. That's because, in contrast to what you might have learned from your parents, the way to play this game is not always obvious. Most of us have been taught that in order to attract the opposite sex, we should be as available and interested as possible without coming off as needy or desperate. And yet at the same time, it's also commonly thought that being "too available" makes us seem less interesting or desirable than other potential partners who may prove more challenging - or at least less obvious - to win over. Well I'm here today with some good news: You don't need to choose between these two options! You can make yourself appear interested while still keeping some mystery around what exactly it is you're looking for out of dating right now."
