5 Reasons that made me quit online dating.

1. TOO MANY GHOSTS ( AND NO, I DON'T MEAN THE FRIENDLY OR HOLY ONES.)

My love life of online dating had become a vicious cycle of meet, greet, then ditch without warning. I understand that no one in this world owes me a thing, but if you are bold enough to sleep with someone then you can be bold enough to tell them its over.

2. ITS LITERALLY WHERE 90% OF THE PLANET'S MOST INSECURE/ CONTROLLING MEN HIDE.

Ah, I'll never forget the day I met my first Mr. divorced, its all my ex wife's fault man. He spoke so much about wanting a woman with an opinion, but what he really wanted was to be my dad, and I already have two of those; no thank you.

3.CONSTANT UNWANTED PHOTOS OF MEAT POTATOES...

You know what I mean.

4. HALF OF THESE DUDES ONLINE WERE ALREADY IN RELATIONSHIPS!!

My body is not a gateway to cheating. You cannot come in.

5. I STARED TO ACCEPT, EMBRACE AND ENJOY MY SINGLENESS.

Everyone has a different story, and if I'm not in a relationship right now, its clearly for a reason, and that is just perfectly fine.
