#DatingChallenges #RelationshipTalk #ShareYourStory
Hey there, everyone! 🌟 Let’s dive into a thought-provoking question: What makes dating a bit tricky when it comes to you? We all have our quirks, right? Here are some things I think might be hard for people dating me:
-
High Expectations: I believe in aiming high, whether that’s in my personal life or relationships. Sometimes, that can put a lot of pressure on my partner! 🎯
-
Busy Schedule: My life can be pretty hectic with work and commitments, and I sometimes struggle to find that perfect work-life balance. ⏰
-
Overthinking: Ah, the classic "analysis paralysis!" I tend to read too much into situations, which might make me come off as distant or less engaged. 🤔
-
Passion-Driven: When I’m excited about something, I can go all-in! It might be difficult for someone who doesn’t share the same enthusiasm. ⚡
- Need for Independence: While I value relationships, I also cherish my alone time and independence, which can be confusing for some! 🏞️
Which of these resonates with you? 🤷♂️🤷♀️

Dealing with my low self esteem
I add a lot of black pepper to everything I make😎
I flirt subconsciously with a lot of people.
I don’t talk when I’m angry. I always need some time before I can open up what’s my problem.
Always having something to do
My wife. She would make us both disappear lol
I don’t trust anyone right now, bcs of my past.
My anxiety
Many girls wouldn’t like my lack of validation-seeking. So many young people today want to be “couple goals” and look happy to others.
Sometimes I need extended periods alone.
terrible at messaging
I go to bed wearing a full tube of lotion most nights 😆
I create delusional scenarios in my mind
My mental state
i’m terrible at opening up and communicating about my needs.
I’m too demanding of people. Mostly I don’t see my shortcomings, but in others every little thing can irritate me
I don’t tolerate much bullshit or drama, I’d rather be alone in peace than have to deal with what I see so many of my peers enduring because they are shackled by choices they made and responsibilities they took on.
I get on my own nerves- I can’t imagine I would not bother a partner lol
But really I can be moody especially if I am stressed or overstimulated.
I’m married.
I’m super clingy…and have trust issues
I don’t interact with anybody in public and will give you 100 reasons why you actually don’t like me as much as you think you do
I like to deal with ALL things head on. I refuse to linger.
I struggle with victim mentality and often shut down during emotional conflict.
I am blind, and most guys are not used to being a service animal in human form. It’s not every day that one has to verbally describe everything to their date and put their hand on stuff.
The other thing is my ultra conservative/religious and narcissistic Asian parents.
I am told I can’t accept someone’s own different way of love. That I only know and understand one way, and not appreciate or acknowledge other ways
I’m a literal vibrating ball of energy all the time
I’m asexual and am never going to want to have sex.
I am probably neurodivergent, cannot regulate emotions very well.
I need affection!
I enjoy alone time even in a relationship. Also I suck at texting.
I may not always been in the mood for intimacy.
Bi Polar, Depressed and Suicidal.
I enjoy my time alone very much.
I self-sabotage as a result of past relationships and insecurity in believing I’m not good enough for my partner, and undeserving of healthy, gentle love. I often find myself thinking I should break things off before I ruin it, before I get hurt, or before they break it off with me (very avoidant).
However, I am working really hard on this, and it hasn’t affected my current relationship so far. I’ve been to lots of therapy over the years, and I frequently journal. I try to catch my anxious thoughts before they develop.
Being ok with not going out every fucking night.
I take on everyone’s problems ignoring my own.
You can’t get away with the lies, ever.
I’m prone to meltdowns sometimes (tism)
Everything, apparently. Probably why nobody’s bothered to try.
I don’t argue, don’t raise my voice. Listen and let my SO say all the mean things in the book and then build resentment.
I’m married.
When I have a bad day I don’t want to talk to anyone. I don’t want to be helped either. I just want to exist in silence for a while
I get really clingy when I fall in love. I know it and I should tone it down but for some reason i have to force myself a lot to do so
I have the personality of a potato
PTSD from a previous relationship means I need really consistent communication and actions or I get really triggered and have horrendous flashbacks. I also struggle to identify my emotions and need to be alone to do so. Guess I had to hide them from myself before or they were used to hurt me.
I am too comfortable being single that I find it hard to force myself to compromise.
