@Key Elements exactly. That's a huge problem. Therefore I didn't marry right away. That would have been a massive risk.
Dating is impossible if people use masks.
I have altogether given up on dating because it's too hard to know a person's personal side, there is a lot of mistrust out there, people do communicate a lot but fear intimacy and attachment, nobody really wants someone in their bedroom, chat sites are flooded with people wanting to chat but real intimacy and love are rapidly on the decline..
And getting too intimate too quick is dangerous. Because you give your heart mind and body to the person and they can easily play mind games with you. It gets stressful when they act like nothing happened and like a relationship is not a huge deal. For an emotional person like me this can be harrowing.
So it's very important to know what you are getting into and what's waiting for you.
And a lot of people don't want to be simple and authentic anymore. Decency is a rare breed.
People want social media and quick hookups but nobody is truly understanding the meaning of a bond. Plus the rise in crime means credibility is on a huge decline ..
