Wanna start a thread for those of us just put off by dating and want a peaceful 2925?

[2025HereICome]

Just as the title says...

Personally, I've had FWB, a failed reconciliation with an ex and disastrous OLD experiences this year.

And when I look at it, what a lot of wasted energy.

Cheers to 2025 being more fulfilling and comforting and peaceful!

I’m with you there! I had an old friend (met on dating apps, in contact but only met up once and he was really lovely) ringing me just before Christmas in middle of night on repeat and woke up to several messages. Then saw on FB group that lots of guys were doing this as just desperate before NyE and feeling lonely.

I had thought he was different but seems he was following pattern of behaviour followed by lots of other guys in his position. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve sworn off dating for next year. I am going to concentrate on things that make me happy. I don’t need validation from a man.

Bring on 2025…. The year of peace and self love!

Not just wasted energy either - I feel like I spent a fortune on dating and feel like a right mug - they all saw me coming.

Last long term relationship I discovered he actually was back with his ex and he’d took her off to Paris to propose. We’d been together for years, I was mortified. I’ve blocked him everywhere as he was still sending rambling messages with marriage proposals and love crap. I’m exhausted and I need to recharge myself next year.

Girl! Youve found the right thread. Your situation this year sounds bloody awful and I love when you say "I am going to concentrate on things that make me happy. I don’t need validation from a man."

This is where I'm at too. I'm beyond disillusioned with men, I can't be arsed with the drama, expectations, time, effort and money involved. I need a break and I'm looking forward to focusing on other things in 2025.

I'm here if you want to check in, let's have an amazing year of putting ourselves and our loved ones first!

Not entirely sue I'll still be alive in 2925, or that humans will be around, but yes, a peaceful new year would be nice!

Definitely checking in with you all , honestly tired of the really low bar guys I dated or even just talked to for a short while.
Happy to be me and the dogs in the evenings for 2025. Cheers to us all 🥂

Il definitely have a peaceful 2925 as il be six feet under 😂

But yeah, sometimes taking a step back brings peace and tranquility and if more happens to surprise you then so be it.
