#365grateful Post 73



Today’s little slice of “happitude” is...

Words of wisdom and loving and supportive friends.

So... the chilled night in wasn’t quite as chilled as I had expected.

It turns out that this Tinder bloke and I had very different ideas of what a chilled night in meant and unfortunately he was wanting things to move quite a bit faster than what I was comfortable with.

You’re probably thinking, “Well, of course, you idiot! What did you think he wanted from you?!”. But I suppose I am a very trusting person at heart and I like to believe in the good in people. Unfortunately, learning that just because you imagine people a certain way, doesn’t mean that that’s the way they really are is a difficult lesson. But I’m glad I learnt it and that I had loving and supportive friends to give me hugs at the end of it.

I walked into his place feeling excited and optimistic and in control of the situation. But I walked out of there feeling very disappointed in myself and like I didn’t know who I was and I realised that I never wanted to feel that way again. I decided there and then to figure myself out and figure out exactly what I want out of relationships and out of life in general. A far better screening system for future dates would also be good...

Spoiler Alert: This sounds much easier than it actually is and a couple of low points are on the way.
