So many people on here complaining about how hard dating is while I’m here crying over my first crush, who died in a car accident when I was 13.

We heard you the first ten times. How old are you now?

The real problem that I see is that most of you wanna brag about having someone around, like you’ve won a prize or something.

I think you’re fooling yourself if you genuinely that’s why most people seek companionship. It certainly isn’t my reason. And then the rest of your paragraph seems to fly in the face of that first sentence, talking about “the one” and harlequin books which are absolutely not about bragging to people (or at least I would assume). Sending a really mixed message here.

Just to let everyone know, this is the same person who posts an incessant number of Bully Maguire memes in the worst edit ideas thread. So I think it’s only fair if I ask this question: How old are you now?

That aside, I’ve only posted about the death of my first crush two times in total (three if you count this one). And I don’t recall anyone reacting to it until today. So, no. I don’t think everyone heard that. Maybe they have now, but I don’t care. I’m crying because someone I loved is dead. You’re crying because you can’t get a date. I’m not the one who’s being a child here.

Also, if you genuinely think that I’m fooling myself, you obviously don’t live in my area of residence. I don’t know where you get this idea that people are looking for more than what I described, but in my experience, it isn’t true. Hell, fmalover just admitted that he’s trying to get in one for physical reasons. If you’re looking for something more than that from a relationship, then good! I wish more people had that mindset when dating. But don’t assume that everyone else is thinking the same thing you are.

Finally, let’s talk about those mixed messages. I think it’s obvious that my post looked down on things like “the one” and Harlequin romance novels. On top of that, I find it odd that you think those two things don’t involve bragging to people when they both involve putting your significant other on a pedestal and feeding you unrealistic fantasies about love. When people were reading Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey, were they not bragging? If not, then explain Team Edward.
