>So I wondered how okps feel about dating at this point in >their life. Do you like dating?
no. i hate it.
Did you ever like it, and are >now tired of it?
i liked it in my early 20s.
Do you want to get married or settle down >with someone or would you be happy being single forever?
yes and i will eventually. its a matter of time. i would be happy being single forever because i'm determined to be happy no matter what. if my arm got chopped off tomorrow, i would still be happy. i still want my arm tho and i still want to get married. I do believe that marriage (and motherhood) would be instrumental to me being my happiest and best self.
Is >being in a relationship a priority to you?
not right now but i guess it is indirectly. healing from the past and improving myself are my direct priorities.
Do you feel >pressured (by anyone including yourself) to settle down or to >get married?
yes, from myself. and also, people's reactions to me. people are now straight up asking me "what happened?" "what's wrong with you?" its extremely frustrating. but i stopped pressuring myself about having kids.
Do you think your career gets in the way of >dating?
yes in the sense that i'm pursuing a difficult path without any financial help so i don't really have the money to take care of myself the way i'd like to. i can't afford to wear the best clothes or get my hair and nails done and all that stuff.
>Feel free to discuss (or vent) about anything regarding >dating. will do later.
