    I say this both bitterly sardonic of they way people handle relationships and oozing almost Hallmark levels of radiant positivity as it is where I found my spouse: check the friend zone.

      I am attempting to put myself out there more but I’ve been having mixed results. Really, really mixed results. Responding right now because the person I’ve been spending a lot of time with recently and considering just turned out to have some values that are just incompatible with mine. I really didn’t expect that from them given who they are, who we met through and so on.

      I also feel like I’m going to have to settle sometimes and I’d just sooner be alone than do that.

        Don’t settle! Relationships don’t have to last forever to be considered successful in my opinion. You can enjoy sharing your time with someone and appreciate it for what it was when it’s over and that’s still totally ok.

        There’s billions of people in the world. It’s very hard to find another person who is compatible enough to share your life with, but there’s fun and experiences to be had on the journey looking for them.
