I feel like I have to constantly and actively raise my standards in guys. Like I meet a really sweet one the other week, and I’ve been going back and fourth between maybe making an excuse to contact him again (I just bought something off him but he was a really sweet farming dude and idk I had a feeling but I know very little about him)
But anyway I’m always worried when I meet a genuinely decent guy who possibly maybe slightly fits what I want-that I’ll never find another one...? Like if I don’t look at this one I might miss a very rare opportunity. And then I want to slap myself because that’s a stupid reason to go after someone just because they’re not a total dick head
I’m a pretty cynical person when it comes to romance, I vent all that soppy stuff on my ships. I don’t believe in soul mates and one true loves etc...just sounds like a load of baloney to me. But at the same time I WANT to believe in fate and things happening for a reason..like if you and someone are compatible that you will meet again. And idk if that’s just an excuse I make up to ignore things and not go outside my comfort zone. Which is highly likely considering my first relationship was emotionally abusive and now I have a horrific fear of commitment and emotional attachment.
At the same time I would also like to remove the part of me that has a desire for a relationship because that sounds way freaking easier. I don’t like kids so that’s totally not a problem. Like why I can’t just be happy with 10 cats, 5 horses and my family? Whyyyyy do I want a guy who’s just gonna try and control me and be a pain in the ass?
Stupid basic human desires are stupid and make the bar drop. Then I shove it back up again and the second I see a good looking guy it drops again, then he talks and it generally goes up coz he said something dumb and it rockets up into space somewhere
Constant conflict that drives me nuts really would like to just switch it off and not care because I am so particular about the kind of person I want. I feel like I’m never going to find someone 99% of the time. So I really don’t know why I bother, to me there is no point in settling for someone you don’t want. Either get what you want, or stay alone coz it’s less trouble. But that’s depressing, so I go nuts over CS because they’re amazing and I see parts of myself in both of them. Emmas past and Killians personality are things I relate to hugely so it’s way more fun than real men
