I can’t help but roll my eyes when I hear “it’ll happen when you least expect it” when it comes to finding a genuine man. I’m going on 28 soon, broke off an engagement over a year ago (nothing bad) but since recently trying again with putting myself out there, has been literal hell. Got dumped randomly by now ex bf I was seeing for a little while who was making all these promises for us and saying all these things to where I started to believe him and started to catch feelings, then totally switched up 2 days later and said he can’t be with me. 🤨 Total slap to the face. I’ve talked to some of my girl friends (all married) and they all tell me “it’ll happen when you least expect it.” Like am I to just pretend? “Okay, I’ll just pretend there’s no guy, jee golly where could they possibly be? guess I’m gonna be single forever…” 😪🫣 To me that’s still in a sense expecting though. Anyways I’m at a total loss and getting frustrated? I know I can’t force anything, that’s obvious, but it also shouldn’t be this complicated to want to settle down and be done with dating. It’s the trenches out there and dating apps are full of interesting men…🥴 I feel it’s definitely easier for a guy to meet a girl than it is for a girl to meet a guy. Hard to meet people in person, I do things I enjoy but it’s more of female dominated hobbies such as horse riding, paint nights, Pilates. I’m not gonna force myself in an environment I won’t enjoy such as clubbing or bars to meet a guy. I guess all I can do is pray and HOPE a guy will cross my path soon cuz homegirl is tired and wants to be a wife and mom so bad 😮‍💨😩 TBH my biggest fear is getting married in my thirties (again MY fear)
