I am on a break from online dating for a while because ironically I am looking for intimacy, security and respect in love. The people I came across didn't seem to be looking for that. Dating sites are starting to appear to me like Slimming groups. The same faces go back for years, yet they are not doing the work in learning how to achieve what they truly want or how to ask for it. This continues the toxic dynamics that keep them perpetually hoping that the next attempt will be the one that succeeds. Of course there is a degree of familiarity and a comfort in such a dynamic but not in the long term.
