Should I go on this date (petty problem!)

[PantryStyle]

He’s text and called and said he will sort the restaurant, he’s happy to come to me. I’ve already cancelled on him once before.. work related and he was understanding.

I so want to meet someone and be in a relationship but I’m jaded by it all and frankly feel defensive of the idea of even having to sit with someone new! I want to order takeaway and watch tv alone.

But tomorrow I will be feeling that longing to meet someone as another Sunday passes alone. And so it goes round. When I’m actually on a date I’m usually fine but tonight I just don’t know what to do. I don’t have ANY faith that it will become anything at all anymore.

Urgh feel so conflicted! What to do?

I'm invested too - OP please update us :)

I haven’t been able to update you as he has talked NON STOP! Definitely not the one for me but actually it did beat sitting in the same room I work in all week haha.

Thanks for the support ...wish I had a better update!!! Oh well...onto the next

Ahhh at least it saved you cooking tea tonight!! 👍😃

And as for not dating until I feel like it...I don’t think I have or would ever find it preferable to a cosy night in with a partner! Which obviously I won’t get to unless I date. I hate it sooo much but what else can you do these days dating wise!!

You could join a couple of groups for your hobbies/interests. Some are being held on Zoom or even starting up again IRL now. Then if someone comes along, they come along. Either way you have fun.

Ah that's a shame, better luck next time

Onwards and upwards OP. I had a crap date a couple of weeks ago but having just got out of a long term relationship and not dated in YEARS I was glad to get the ball and rolling and hoping the next one will be less daunting!

better luck next time!
