20M Struggles
This is a post about me ranting about how the dating goes in the 20's. In a reputable college(BITS) , and in the 20's most girls want to date-to-marry. Now every time I find a good partner, whether on dating app or just online, we talk for weeks, start having good relations, talk about love, flirt and all, but then they just ask my full name, my name is Arsh which is nowadays religion-neutral name, but when my surname comes they realise that I'm a Muslim.
And then the things go south. I have realised that I can't do anything about 3 things
- Religion
- Age
- Distance
Sometimes I wanna find a good partner, all my female friends and all the partners I found always say one thing, the girl I'll have will be the luckiest, bcoz of my qualities and personality. I do have good chivalrous qualities a girl desires, good looking face (skinny tho I accept), I'm not toxic, neither do I have anger issues, the only thing is that I get attached in the talking-phase and then when they leave bcoz of these 3 reasons, there isn't ANY thing I can do !! It is slowly breaking me from inside
The only thing I keep in my mind is that
You'll never know when your soul-mate will come knocking your door, so I just try to not shut it too tight, and try again and again, and keep failing, hoping that one day the perfect one will find me
And it's just slowly draining me now...
