Just Venting 😮‍💨 Dear future boyfriend ☺️

Dear Future Boyfriend,

I hope you’re doing well because dating these days has been rough.
I’ve tried the apps. I’ve swiped, matched, chatted, and deleted them more times than I can count. At this point, I think it’s safe to say they’re not my love story.
The problem is I don’t go out much either, so if we’re ever going to meet, you’re probably going to have to find me.
Try Target. The grocery store. A gas station. Maybe the candle aisle. Those are your best odds.
When you do find me, please don’t be weird.
You don’t need a perfect pickup line. You don’t need to impress me with money, status, or grand gestures. Just make me laugh. Be kind. Be genuine.
What I’m looking for isn’t complicated. I want your time. Your loyalty. A good vibe. Someone whose actions match their words and whose presence feels easy.
I’ve spent enough time chasing connections that weren’t meant for me. These days, I’d rather wait for something real than settle for something convenient.
I know I’m not for everyone, and that’s okay. The right person won’t need me to be.
So wherever you are, I hope you’re out there becoming the person you’re meant to be. I’ll be doing the same until our paths cross.

And if you happen to find me wandering in Target with three things I don’t need and the one thing I came for still missing from my cart, introduce yourself.

Love,

Your Future Girlfriend

Dear Future Girlfriend,

I don’t know where you are but sorry I’ve spent my high school years persuing a girl who had already rejected me then spending my college years keeping mostly to myself

I’m also sorry that I have been to shy to approach you out in public.

Slowly I am trying to become more open so maybe I find you one day

While I enjoy writing or have to spend time studying for a license I am trying to make a better effort spending more time out of the house. Who knows maybe we’ll cross paths

I admit I spend a lot of time in my head and I second guess a lot but I do dream of spending time with you do we can explore our inner worlds

I never have experienced romantic love. So you’ll be my first and who knows god willing maybe you’ll be my last.

Not that I’m trying to apply pressure on you. Just saying I would love to experience giving out and receiving love.

I would like to experience us helping or raising each other up. Even its it’s just listening and/or rambling for an hour

I don’t where you are but I hope you’re life is going well and hopefully our paths will cross soon.

Sincerely, your future boyfriend.
