25 and Hate Hook-Up Culture

Does anyone else still believe in real dating? I’m so tired of the hookup culture. No judgement if that’s what you like, but I personally hate it. I don’t want to waste my time or energy. I know my worth and what I can bring to the table but it seems I only meet men that only want to sleep with me or are intimidated by the fact that I’m independent and educated.

Please don’t tell me “the right one will come along when you least expect it”. I get it. I just need to vent & im lonely. And no, that doesn’t mean I’m settling.. what people don’t get is that knowing your worth doesn’t take away your loneliness and desire to share your life with someone. Honestly, sometimes I just wish I could lay on the couch with my head on someone’s lap while we watch the office.. and maybe eat some chicken nuggets that we’ll regret eating the next day
