The Problem Was… He Wanted To Date Himself
Meeting a few of Your Standards Doesn’t Equal Prince Charming
By Grace K. Bianco
If you are a body builder, proceed at your own risk. (;
I read an article from Linda Ng and one from Pamela Oglesby about what they/women look for in men. (Both articles will be linked below.) Pamela focused on physique/health, and Linda focused more on personality.
These articles inspired me to tell one of my worst dating experiences ever. Plus, the important lesson that it taught me.
I had to learn the hard way that meeting just a few standards wasn’t enough.
I was off and on dating apps for a year before I met my now husband.
I got on dating apps pretty soon after my four year breakup. I grieved that relationship so much while I was still in it. By the time I left, I didn’t need long to see what was out there.
I joined out of curiosity. I wasn’t planning on taking it seriously. I really just wanted to know what dating apps were all about.
