Ok, so the other day I came across this little gem on Reddit and it is sort of the best way to articulate how I feel… so, I thought that I would repost here:
“Be single and work on yourself until you’re genuinely happy being single. That might include finding new hobbies, getting in shape, therapy, new friends, trying harder at school or your career, what have you. When you’re genuinely happy and satisfied being single, you won’t get into relationships just because you can, and you won’t stay in relationships that aren’t actually making you happier.
I realized I was truly ready for a full-fledged, adult relationship when an attractive, generally cool friend liked me, and I didn’t date her. There was nothing wrong with her, but it didn’t feel quite right. I didn’t feel the need to plug that void with her because there was no longer a void. There’d be other girls and I’d be perfectly happy in the mean time.
Once you’re only dating because you truly want to, you’ll only get into relationships that make you better.”
And as soon as this came to my attention these other gems found me! Enjoy this clip from SNL “It’s not giving up, it’s settling up!”
Hilarious, but then, my friend sent me the real thing… the back up shop Can this possibly be real life? The concept is that you get the app and find matches based on your “back up plan date”… making it legally binding? This is the worst concept ever… but they spent some serious $ developing the site; so, could it be for real?
And while we’re at it I came across the break up shop depending on how much you are willing to ‘splurge’ ranging from $10 and upwards they will break up for you via text, phone call, or a bouquet of carnations (which everyone knows are the worst).
Ummm couldn’t you just ask Siri to do it for you? Or use your own fingers? Or everybody’s favourite: the ghost out. No text required. This seems like too much effort. Ok, now that I’ve posted about it hopefully this madness will end!
Love and above Xxo
