Finding Love – Oat Anirut

I don’t really show my feelings in real life, so I don’t often find love that way. I feel more comfortable with friendships because when I fall in love, I act weird and don’t know what to do. I don’t like that version of myself. That’s why I try to think of people around me as friends first.

I fall in love easily, and I don’t want that to affect my judgment. I don’t want to be biased and overlook important things. I also don’t want someone to take advantage of me just because I like them. That’s why I take a long time to check my own feelings before telling someone. Instead of confessing directly, I observe them from a distance to see if they have any weaknesses I can’t accept like lacking kindness in certain situations.

However, when using dating apps, I can decide faster. Maybe because I can see their profile first. But even after matching, I still need to chat and ask more questions to see if their profile is true. When we meet in real life, I check if they are different from their profile and if they have qualities I can accept.

For a long-term relationship, I care about:
✔ Can we accept each other’s strengths and weaknesses and grow together?
✔ Can they take care of themselves, or do they just want to rely on others?
✔ Do they respect people from different backgrounds and financial situations?
✔ How do they handle conflicts? Do they explain calmly, or just get angry and say, “You should know this already”? I prefer someone who explains things with patience, like a teacher helping a student.

Right now, I’m very happy with my relationship. We have similar thoughts and values. It’s better than anything I had before. I don’t feel like searching for something better anymore. 😊

    1. Thanks for your comment! Yes, I'm happy with my relationship. I believe that when we love and take care of ourselves, love from others comes more naturally. As for dating apps, I’ve tried them before, but I still prefer meeting people naturally.

    1. Even though I feel okay now, I admit I’ve been through a lot. So, before using dating apps, it’s important to be prepared and make sure you can cut ties with anyone who shows red flags, without letting things drag on.

    1. Thank you. It’s probably because I talk to myself a lot, sometimes maybe too much. That’s why I’m trying really hard to talk to others more. Haha! πŸ˜‚
