Dated

I deleted my online dating profile. Too much rejection. I don’t need to seek it out anymore. I’m well aware of how I measure up to the world and the ways women find me lacking.

I never expected online dating, of all things, to be my last remaining way to meet people who don’t automatically see me as some kind of fossil. That wasn’t true at the beginning of this decade and a half of solitude. I got older and the world didn’t.

I’m slowly learning how to let go of yearnings for people I would have liked to know, things I would have liked to experience, etc. 

Some desires are stubborn. The heart does not give up easily. Especially mine. But I’m tired of wondering why I’m not good enough.

So be it. This is my path now.
