Not giving up on dating

I probably should have lost hope after my first relationship in almost three years crumbled after just four months.

I probably should have lost hope after the next relationship was even shorter than the one that preceded it.

I probably should have lost hope when my love letter was received, but never answered.

Not giving up on dating

Aleksandra Mazur

Its in the thoughts running through my mind and in the blood running through my veins.

I dont ever want apathy to take over and turn an exhilarating adventure into a mundane task.

I dont ever want those butterflies fluttering around my stomach in the early stages of dating to fly away.

I dont ever want the heart-racing feeling leading up to a first kiss to settle.

I dont ever want thought of, What could be?

to turn into, Why bother?

I will never stop getting my hopes up because everyone tells me not to.

I refuse to become one of them.

People become jaded when they have stopped opening themselves up to the possibility of something great happening.

After so many failed or otherwise underwhelming experiences, its easy to lose faith that something better awaits.

The last first date.

The last first kiss.

The last first time.

That is all the more reason to keep your hopes high.
