Odeio esperar... É por isso que sou péssimo em encontros modernos

Os encontros modernos parecem tão simples, mas são tão complicados. O caminho que leva de um namoro a uma relação real é tão longo e cansativo que nos desgasta antes mesmo de começarmos um romance.

Patience is not one of my strong suits…especially when it comes to modern dating. I hate playing games and acting like I don’t care when I actually do.

Detesto todos os cálculos e planeamento quando se trata de mensagens de texto. Quem enviou a mensagem a quem primeiro? Devo adiar a minha repetição? Se eu enviar isto, vou parecer demasiado carente? etc.

Pensar e pensar demasiado em todos os seus passos é frustrante. Acaba com toda a piada do namoro.

That’s why I send a reply right away if I feel like it. I text first without giving it a second thought. I ignore when something doesn’t sit right with me.

Não tenho medo de admitir o que sinto, mesmo que isso me faça parecer estranho. Gosto de falar sobre as coisas e de saber qual é a minha posição. Caso contrário, sinto que estou a perder o meu tempo.

I get accused of moving too fast and being too clingy when I am just being realistic. Shouldn’t you know after a month of dating if you want to enter a relationship or not?

Nos encontros modernos, aparentemente não. São necessários vários meses ou, em casos piores, anos, para determinar se se está numa relação exclusiva ou não.

It takes riding emotional roller coasters with men who don’t know what they want…who are afraid of relationships and any sort of commitment.

É preciso passar os dias e as noites a falar, a enviar mensagens de texto e a fazer snapchats com alguém, e deixá-lo entrar no nosso coração só para que ele nos possa deixar como se nunca tivéssemos existido e nos deixe a pensar no que aconteceu e onde é que errámos.

Isn’t it better to know where you stand with somebody as soon as possible?

It doesn’t have to be on your first date, but a month of dating, calling, texting and browsing through social media accounts should be more than enough if you ask me.

The longer the courtship or the dating game, the more you get attached to a certain person. You get so involved and so hooked, and if it doesn’t work out, it’s so much harder to get over them.

The more time you had with them, the more memories you created, and you felt like you are actually with them. But deep down, you know you have been strung along into something ‘almost’.

I hate that. I had that, and I don’t want to waste my time on anyone who is a enganar-me.

I want to know what I mean to someone, and I want to know it as soon as possible. If we are compatible, if we’ve clicked and want to give ourselves a chance to start a relationship, why not try it right away?

What’s the point in waiting for forever when you know those things right away? You feel them from the start or you don’t feel them at all.

I am impatient; I know. But after I know that I am somebody’s girlfriend, I will slow down my pace without even trying. I will feel safe around that special somebody, and there will be no need to rush.

I won’t picture going down the aisle or having kids so early on. I am not that type. I want to build a relationship. I want to see if we can be happy together. I want to know if we can solve any obstacle that comes our way.

That’s the point at which I want to take things extra slow. I want to enjoy every second of it. If we don’t make it, at least we tried. We were brave enough to give ourselves a chance for love.

We weren’t esconder os nossos sentimentosA nossa vida não foi feita de forma a que os nossos amigos se tornassem mais felizes, enviando sinais contraditórios, fazendo jogos mentais ou fazendo uma confusão nas nossas vidas. Reunimos a nossa coragem e apostámos tudo no amor.

Bluntness, clarity and knowing that I am walking on the same path with somebody. That’s all I want and all I am not getting in this modern dating world.

I know I suck at modern dating, and I know that’s mostly due to the fact that I am impatient and wear my heart on my sleeve. I know, and I don’t care. I am who I am, and I won’t change.

I hate waiting, but I am going to wait for someone who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid of saying it aloud.

Vou esperar por alguém que seja tão mau nos encontros modernos como eu.
