Going on a man cleanse
By Laura - 12:02
So. Remember how I said I was going to write more on this blog about dating?
Well, I didn't do that, did I? I went on dates and did the whole texting thing while trying to understand how bloody dating works in the 21st century. And I'm still as clueless as before I started. But while I have overcome my fear of first dates (which I seem to smash btw!), I realise that I'm not OK within myself. I'm seeking validation from men, from sex, and letting other people (unintentionally) control my emotions and putting way too high of expectations on men. Whoopsie...
But don't fret!
I have enough self-awareness that my behaviour isn't OK and I'm not happy with my behaviour either. This isn't how I imagined how I would be at 31 years old. So I've decided to go on a dating detox or you can call it a man detox! Either way, that's what I'm doing.
Yes, you read that right.
Right up to the end of April, I'm not going to seek or engage in any of the following: flirtations, no swapping digits, no kissing, sex, nudity, sexting, no dates. The Virgin Mary will have nothing on me! The only time I can talk to a man is when it's a friend (but some of the rules still apply to them!) or a work colleague.
While I'll be avoiding the male species like covid-19, I'm going to focus on me and I think I'm going to blog about it too (when I remember/can't be arsed!)
So that's my plan for the time being. No more dating, men.
It's going to be all about me for the time being (as it should!)
