Hi, how is your relationship so cute and picture perfect. I’ve been trying to get over my ex for almost a year now... And I don’t feel comfortable with using dating apps. Do you have any advice? How did you meet your boyfriend?
Okay this is the first time I've publicly admitted it but we actually met on a dating app lol. I was single and trying to date but was having no luck (so hot guys don't actually go to bookshops where your fingers accidentally touch grasping for the same copy of Pride and Prejudice?? Wtf?), and my cousin took me for drinks to install Bumble on my phone.
I got lucky, Ryan was the second Bumble date I ever had to go on, so I never really had to go through the online dating hoops. 100% we never would have met otherwise (an Irish banker does NOT hang about in the same places as a bookish Canadian-Indian local). Which is why I think Bumble isn't so bad, I never would have had the guts to approach a guy I found attractive IRL, and this way you get to meet people not in your social circle.
Also we're not picture perfect we argue ALL the time, we also have nothing in common lol.
1 year is a LONG time! It's like past rebound stage hopefully at this point lol, honestly get a dating app! I know it takes courage; worst case scenario you don't have fun and delete it, best case you meet a new boo.
I think you should also do a project, fuel your time and thoughts into something that makes you really happy (if you can monetize it's even more awesomely distracting, because side hustles are great at getting the creative juices flowing). Send me another message with things you like to do and I'll come up with projects for you! Boys are also a big waste of time, doing stuff for yourself is way more important. And don't worry, whether it takes another year or three, eventually this dude will just be a whatever blip in your memory; boys are forgettable, you are not.
