Being Honest With Feelings

This is definitely more of a personal post, but one that I wanted to share because I think it is important to talk about. As you all know, I am single, and dating. I have been in several longer relationships in the past, and when I was dating in the past, I would not feel the chemistry, or connection, and would either ghost the person, or just make up some excuse.

Yes, we all do it, but, is it the right thing to do? No. While I have been dating this year, I have really made it a point to be honest with my feelings. Honest with my feelings internally, and externally. I go on dates and really try my best to keep an open mind. After the date, or dates, I try to journal about it and really tune in to my feelings.

If I am feeling like the spark or chemistry isn’t there for me, I really have been making it a point to be honest with that person, and myself. It is not fair to the other person to lead them on, and to not express that you’re just not feeling it, or not where you need to be.

I have personally told a few people this I have dated, and let me tell you, it is not easy to do. I am not just texting someone and saying, “Thank you, I am not feeling it,” I am actually meeting up with people in person and expressing my raw feelings. It is hard to tell someone that your spark just isn’t there. Sometimes, I don’t know what or why it is missing, but it just is.

You just have to remind yourself that your gut and intuition always know, and you need to trust it. Trust me, I know it can be hard, but you will feel so much better that you were honest with them and yourself. Ghosting can be the easy thing to do, but this is what makes you the respectful person.
