Just so you are knowledgeable, below are some ways people relate – or fail to relate – that are not really good… (Definitions mostly courtesy of Urban Dictionary and yourtango.com). When I ventured into the dating world, I was quite naïve and not expecting these bad behaviors. I guess I can take comfort in the fact they are happening to most everyone – not just me. In fact, I got so used to the “ghosting” thing – I started doing it too. I vow to not do it again … I will always be direct but kind. (I also vow to never again park in a bike lane in Seattle…I have newfound respect for their purpose). If you have a name for the behavior you are experiencing, it helps to remind you that you might be experiencing a harmful behavior from someone and it’s not just you are imagining things or not doing something “right”.

My expectations are high, and the people I have met are not, so I am scared

Love is the greatest force of all and it’s the only force I want in my life. I want to be surrounded by people that care about me just as I care about them, people that are genuine towards me. If a great love comes, yay!
