the second best way to manipulate this market would be to add a great idea to my dating market idea bounty.
(the best way is obviously by being an available person I want to enter a committed relationship with, obviously)
I've been single a long time and I'd like not to be. I'm renewing my commitment to looking for the person I'd like to be with, even though dating apps are off-putting and I don't live in a very socially open city. I'm nothing if not driven by personal markets so I suspect creating some public personal goals will keep me motivated.
I'll define a committed relationship as:
both of us agreeing that we're in a relationship (not just dating or seeing each other etc) and we're exclusive
we remain in that arrangement at least a month (I don't want this market to last forever but I'd like to resolve to something more than just a chat and intention)
ask questions if you have them. I suppose I'll primarily use dating apps, although I'm trying to move in new social circles so there's a chance of meeting someone my preferred, organic way.
1,000@ian hm I'm more emotionally guarded than I'd like to be, and I'm working on that a lot. I think my tendency to protect myself comes off as pickiness but it's really just a front for being afraid of letting someone in and being hurt. I've made some poor choices in LTR selection in the past, more than once, and spent a lot of time with people who weren't good for or even really kind to me. so I contend with that but I'm actively paying attention to what comes up and what's valid or just a protection mechanism.
I have a date lined up tomorrow with a guy who seems nice and a good match so far. and I'm determined to not be overly selective for silly reasons and miss out on potentially good people bc I'd like a healthy partnership.
