    perhaps, but he’s right that more likely than not it wouldn’t have ended well. Dating is pain and the idea of romance is always nicer in your head.

      Personal growth usually involves pain, but that’s not a good reason to avoid it. Sounds like OP missed out.

        attempting to date has only given me pain and misery, trying to court people who turned out to be shitty human beings didn’t make me “grow”, it just made me feel unwanted and worthless.

        I mean, if masochism’s your thing, who am I to judge?¯\_(ツ)_/¯
