I think too much.
And I feel too much.
It’s the absolute worst combination in the world of modern dating.

I get my feelings hurt too easily.
I take rejections too hard.
I dont know how to walk away from a broken heart.
I spend too much time moping in my misery.
I spend too much time dwelling on people who arent supposed to matter to me.
Im too sensitive for modern dating.
Every time someone ghosts me, they get inside my head.
I know Im supposed to shrug things off.
The message is obvious, so I should be able to move on.
After all, not everyone is going to like me.
Not everyone is going to fall head over heels.
My head realizes that but my heart has trouble grasping the concept.
It has trouble dealing with rejection, even on the smallest scale.
I have a hard enough time dealing with unanswered text messages.
I think too much.
And I feel too much.
Its the absolute worst combination in the world of modern dating.
If a first date goes poorly, Im going to be upset about it for weeks.
I dont get over my heartbreaks easily.
Even though I know those things are true, its impossible to stop the pain.
Its impossible to turn off my emotions.
My problem is that I get attached easily.
When I fall for someone, I fall hard.
I pour everything into my relationships.
I dont take any half-measures.
Im either in or out.
There is no in between.
I get my feelings hurt too easily.
I know theres a chance I could end up crying my eyes out into my pillowcase again.
But its a risk I keep on taking.
