Re: Dating

[(Anonymous)]

38 and I've wondered if I plaster the aroace ID onto me to avoid dating.

I've never been into the dating scene though as a child I had a lot of daydreams about meeting the perfect man and being swept up in a big romantic relationship.

I don't know if I just like romantic stories because they were what helped me survive a chaotic upbringing or if it's something I desire but am afraid to put myself out there.

I struggle to talk to people about it because in the past the friends who I opened up a bit to about this just immediately began telling me that I DO want to date but I just don't want to put myself out there, not willing to believe me when I say dating in general has never really appealed to me and although I do enjoy romantics films and books, after unpacking my internalized misogyny and decentering men (as well as accepting that I find attraction to women), I realize the reality of dating and romantic relationships don't appeal to me.

I've thought about this a lot and I still feel like I have no certainties on what I want or who I am. So far, I like focusing on me, I don't want to date right now.
Maybe my mind will change but not right now.
Though NGL sometimes I do feel lonely and I do wonder if I do want to date, even though I never have.
