Talking Stage

Being in the talking stage is exhausting

It's always the same questions over and over again

I can’t count how many times I have answered “ how old are you?”

Or my favourite “ what are you looking for ?”

It's so tiring when they tell you they only want hookups

Is that all I am good for? Just hooking up

The red flags you notice and you aren't even dating yet

At this point, I would rather be alone

I have been taught that women should never lower their standards

If he can't meet them, then you move on to someone who can

I blame romance books for setting my standards so high

My ex-lover is to blame as well

Every new person I talk to I compare to him

From the way they talk to how they treat strangers on the streets

I'm aware that isn’t a good habit

But it is hard not to compare

Especailly when he treated me so amazing that words can't even describe it

I would rather try again with him than be with anyone else
