All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
Dating Now(not as easy as others make it)
I do not care who says otherwise but dating in this day and age, for a man that is, is one of the most difficult concepts ever in this life we live. If you have read to this point and have stopped reading, I completely understand, but please hear me out as I explain the main reasons why. For a man, dating nowadays is extremely difficult one of the main reasons is because we as men are in constant competition with: the women who aren’t interested in us, the women who like other women, and (for those who qualify please don’t be offended) the women who are not women at all. Not only that, but I in my own experience am one who carries qualities of someone very nice in this world, and that stigma “nice guys finish last,” I can say from that experience, is alive and well in the world. I for one can not seem to understand why the same women who say they want a good guy, look at people such as myself and not even believe that we are actually good people. Which brings me to another reason why dating for a man is difficult. If a man shows a woman any sort of kindness, according to most women in this day and age, that man is plotting something. So you mean to tell me that if I show a woman the respect that she so demands and believes she is entitled to, I have an ulterior motive? Can it be that I am complimenting you because I think you actually look beautiful and that I’m truly not trying to just “get in your pants,” or trying to get your number. I myself have established a long time ago that I am not going to attract every woman. That being said, if you believe that I am just showing anger and malice to the opposite gender, that is not the case at all. I and a lot of men who share similar qualities are just tired of the games being played by the gender who often says they “don’t have time for games.” I have always said, it is the people who say they “don’t have time for games”, are the ones who play them the most. These are women who say, they want a man who is honest with them, yet they still go for the liars of the world. It’s the women who always say they want a “good man,” but I think I speak for most of us when I say its those men who possess those qualities are the ones women overlook. I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as one hundred percent good in anyone in this world. However, I have seen women overlook one man who, in my opinion was a guy who I considered a man in the ninetieth percent group. And just because of that ten percent, a woman had brushed him off. And one last reason that I really do not like is summed up in one word. That word is Simp. For those of you who do not know what a simp is, allow me to educate you. The word simp by urban dictionary definition, is defined as a man who is overly submissive to females. Now I know I put myself at risk of being called one by saying this, but this is my opinion not yours. I think the word simp is an excuse for some men to be disrespectful to women and for some women to date them. Again, I am not speaking to all women and I am not angry against the female gender. Everyone has standards, I get that. But it seems, at least from my experience, that standards have gotten more and more impossible to meet in this day and age. But that’s just one man’s opinion…

Why You Feel Incapable of a Love Relationship
In many countries of the world, for example, in the USA, the number of singles is increasing. Many would see this alone as proof that our society is becoming increasingly incapable of relationships, but we should not make it so easy for ourselves.

Stepping Into Sin
I can only remember being a perfect child. I made A’s and B’s in school and was very well behaved. My teachers always reminded me of the potential I had and how I exemplified extraordinary intelligence and leadership. I never thought much about it, it was who I was and I was used to standing out effortlessly. There was no trouble at home, my mother cleaned my room, cooked my dinner, washed my clothes and always allowed me to go outside because my grades were good.

Not what he seemed
After divorce I decided like many to taking time for myself for a while to "work on me". Really this was just that adjusting to survival mode and merging into sustain mode. I took a long while for me, I have kids and was married for 14 years, I needed time to adjust to life. But after a while it does get lonely, even with kids around and going to work there is that "something is missing" feeling that starts to sit in over time.

Battle of Life
life is a Battle People change when priorities change. I learned that personally. At this point in my life, I have noticed that I don’t have many friends or families around me... Friends come and go, and families go far away from where we don’t see them anymore. Priorities change when you start seeing who is more important, what is more significant, and how many responsibilities we have in life. Some people learn this sooner in life, and some take a little longer. I personally think that I had some duties to begin with. Still, I didn’t know how many responsibilities I will have later in life. Now my priorities changed, and I see I have lost a lot of friends and families.

Changing my Mind
The day I lost my heart was the day that I saw her. Olivia Spinder, the most beautiful girl in all of Spudsdale county, waltzed into Spudsdale high on February 9th, 2016 and I lost my mind. Her golden locks of hair and sparkling turquoise eyes stood out among all of us ordinary people. Her cheekbones were high and her smile was straight and blinding. My name is Annabelle Christenson and I’m no longer sure who I am.

Who are the guys who use the dating app?
The coronavirus has further reduced people's encounters. I also had less meetings with people and was so bored that I downloaded the dating app. And I was curious to see my friend use it. It was my first experience and I deleted the app in 3 days.
