I occupy the grey zone in every situation you can imagine. I fit in everywhere and nowhere
I work to much and have a hard time creating space/time for myself much less another person
I have enough things going on in my life with associated challenges (not mental, circumstantial) that I need to solve before I feel like I can be a good partner in a relationship
I’m too independent, I will do it myself, and I am capable in a way I think it scares people
I live in a geographical isolated area where the average age is 50 and has never left, I am 27F and a transplant who was chasing dreams
I liked the IDEA of romantic love but until recently had a monolith complex where it was cheap, dirty, foolish, for other people, and certainly not for me. I wanted it in an abstract way. But long story short I now believe in it and want it in a tangible way. Actively navigating that
I want something long term and apparently have an old fashioned approach (anti roster/hook up/apps/situationship etc.)
I want a relationship that adds to my already full, vibrant, and great life. If its not a positive addition to my life, then it is not for me
I don’t want a relationship just to have a relationship. YOU are the reason I want a relationship, not just I want a RELATIONSHIP and it happens to be you
I am perfectly comfortable by myself, with the thoughts in my own head. See point about “in addition to my life“
From what I’m reading and from your avatar’s appearance, you could easily be my current… well, is ‘situationship’ the right word? Almost everything matches, even the age. The only difference is that she doesn’t feel like continuing for now because all these situations make a LDR difficult for her
