Modern dating is death by a thousand cuts

If you fell in love while you were young, or with a high school sweetheart and you managed to settle down and get married count yourself extremely lucky.

If I could describe modern dating in one word it would be “Disappointment” the constant highs followed by the inevitable lows is damaging to One’s self esteem and overall mental health.

I am the kind of girl who a guy is always very interested in and invested in at first, however after a short time they always lose interest. I would describe myself as a level-headed, well educated woman in her late 20s. I am moderately attractive and in good physical shape & I’ve been told I have a charming and loving personality.

Despite all of this someone like me is still overlooked. In this era it’s almost like you need to stand out and be a 10/10 in looks, personality, finances etc in order to stand a chance in slaying the beast of modern dating.

I’m sick of it, all the mind games that people encourage, all the swings and roundabouts you need to go through just to stand a chance. It’s tiring, no wonder more and more people are opting to stay single.

Love may be a game to most but not to the small minority of decent and kind-hearted individuals who are still left. To them it’s death by a thousand cuts.
