Well, it's five months after 2023 began.
Since November of last year, it appears that I am once more dating. The dating game these days is kind of odd. 😂
Returning to the dating scene in your late 30s has taught and made me realise a lot of things. in particular on "what you want."
I think that working in the corporate sector has given me a lot of knowledge about setting expectations in line. As a result, I apply the lessons I've learned throughout my profession to my dating life.
Strange yet true. They claimed that the sea is filled with fish. But have you ever pondered if your rod ever hooks any of the fish you wish to catch? What happens, for example, if you desire a specific kind of fish but the sea doesn't have that kind of fish? Hahaha. Not to be overlooked, where is the sea? heehehehe.😆
For those who knows me, I don't really like going down the typical life path in my life. My impulsivity and spirit of adventure have shaped who I am now. I thank Allah for providing me with this life path. My life is vibrant, and of course Allah is always guiding me. Since I am a human, I will undoubtedly make mistakes in my daily life.:)
Well, lets circle back to the topic- Dating in the new age.
Although I have learned words like "textingship" and "situationalship," I seldom ever hear people discuss "relationships." Doesn't it seem like monogamy is fading away?
Meeting new people has never been more straightforward thanks to the rise of social media and the countless dating apps available today.
I stopped dating several years ago, (of course, I stopped after I got married lol) and today I returned. In order for me to participate, I must be able to adjust to the changes.
Some of the things that I have experienced..
- Younger men are far more adventurous and curious in dating older women. In all seriousness, they don't care and envision an easy existence. I am not that wealthy to be a cougar, duh.
- Older men are still pursuing younger women. - Yes, a timeless situation that hasn't changed since a million years ago. lol
- Available single men who are single... These people fall into the category of "situationalship" or other such nonsense.
- Married men are dispersed throughout the app and continue to tell their victims they are single. Another good example.
- Excellent single men seeking only casual sex. Remember that more and more unattractive men are also engaging in similar behaviour on several dating apps.
- Great single males who are open to companionship, business chances, scam opportunities, and any other opportunities we can't possibly imagine. lol
...and countless others. But when it comes to the dating app, sex is the main topic.
Don't get me wrong. These days, I enjoy trying out different types of dating. There are advantages and disadvantages, just like in the days of Friendster, Kawandotcom, IRC, Myspace, High5, etc.lol
I'm attempting to keep up with the pace even though I'm not sure if I'm conventional or modern enough. lol
Let me learn from this experience of the dating market's bittersweet side while we wait, though. I am not in a rush (been keep reminding myself 😂) However, I have standards I must live up to and my own aim to pursue.
😋
Life is short. So let's cherish each moment and recognise every small success.💓
P/S: I can now wear size 26 Levi's.
Enjoy your May! Inn sha'Allah, I'll attempt to write more.
