If dating apps weren’t A thing, how would youMeet

I feel like dating nowadays requires someone to make these profiles on dating apps and trying to find someone who vibes with you. Given that is how me and my boyfriend met lolol but I was curious as to what you would do? Would you go to a cafe and talk to a random stranger, meet someone at a book store, or just go to the bar to meet people?

I met my husband at a previous job. I worked there for about 2 years before he came on board. he worked thwre a month and during that time I was seeing someone already. I really liked my now husband, so I gave him my number. We talked and when my then bf and I broke up, my hubby and I started dating. I was 17 then and 36 now. We are happily married with 2 kids who are 17 and 9. Back then, I think Eharmony was the only online site.

How I Knew My Ex’s Weren’t “the One”

I dated some frogs before meeting my husband. The kind that lie constantly, treated me like crap and had literal girlfriends on the side (but don’t worry, I was his main gf). But back then I thought that was normal. I thought that that was just what guys did and that I couldn’t expect any better.

you weren't crazy, you just cared too deeply.

They said you were “too much”… But really, you just felt deeply in a world that taught you to suppress your truth. You weren’t overthinking—your heart was just louder than your logic. And that’s not weakness. That’s humanity.💔➡️❤️‍🩹 #OverFeeling #SensitiveNotBroken #RecoveryRoomWithJ
