Cheating here a little bit but td;lr- IT IS OKAY TO STAY SINGLE FOR A WHILE!! YOU ARE IN NO RUSH TO GET A GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND!!

So I made a new friend at work today and eventually we got to the topic about women and relationships. I admit I was ashamed to admit that I haven't been in a relationship for about 2 years because I was still hung up on my ex whom I loved dearly and my desperation was showing. Meaning I had a VERY bad habit of failing in love with the first girl who was nice to me. The universe must of been kind to me because he admitted that before meeting his currently girlfriend, he had been single for 4 years!!

He tried dating apps and didn't work out for him and the only reason why he had his current girlfriend was through a friend. During that time he wasn't really focused on a girlfriend or a relationship but it just came to him. Before then he was already happy with being alone, focused on his goals and getting his life together. He then tells me "you can't really force a relationships, you have to let things happen naturally. Before you love anyone else, you have to love yourself first".

This is just some insight that finally clicked for me today and I just wanted to share with y'all is all!
