sitaangelI don't even know what I want to say. I really don't.
I'm not a horribly picky person. I never have been. I know all the big things I'm looking for in a relationship. I know what my deal breakers are. They aren't that many, really. I'm kind of simple like that. I don't ask for the world.
Yet, when I sit here and think about the small things a person can do to make me feel good in a relationship, I start to think I'm getting entirely way too picky.
I don't know. I just need someone who is willing to let me know I'm wanted.
Talk to me when we're not together. Be the one who initiates contact first sometimes. Don't make me be the one to do so all the time. Let me know you're thinking about me when we're not together. Don't be afraid to tell everyone and anyone that we're together.
All that seems like common sense things to do. Yet, apparently I can't find anyone who will actually do any of that. So, then I start to wonder if I am asking for too much. Is that too much to ask for?
It's not a good feeling knowing that you could probably go days without talking to someone if you didn't contact them first.
I should be able to want someone who isn't going to make me feel that way without feeling like I'm asking for too much. But, I do anyhow. meh.
Is that how dating works these days? One person puts in all the effort and the other person doesn't?
If it is, I'm going to really wonder why I thought dating again was such a good idea. Haha.
