It's a phrase all of us should memorize before we begin our dating journey
Here are some of the moments when this had come in handy
When I am endless swiping with no matches...
When I am going through the list and I don't find anyone I like for days...
I am looking at long page of likes/matches with responses that all are clearly fakes or unwanted...
It's the only person on my match list/I invested a lot of time and they just said something terrible and I had to unmatch them...
I am looking at my weekend thinking, I have no dates but I got plenty of projects and friends...
When I have a hopeful match and it blows up right before a date...
I just finished a bad date, I am back in my car, unmatch, and take a deep breath...
I am on our second/third date and I try to kiss and she pulls away...
We kiss and I feel nothing. (Sometimes, her tongue is in my mouth)...
We just began seeing each other and we get a breakup text. Not even a phone call...
The uncomfortable conversation after months of dating. I feel like a big vase full of hopes and dreams just dropped and shattered all over the floor. I pick myself back up, put on a big smile, same something kind, and walk away...
After every single one of these event, and more, I tell myself - It only takes one.
