Okay, hear me out. I’ve been thinking about this for a while… retro dating just isn’t for the lover girl. It’s not for someone like me who feels everything deeply and loves without hesitation. You know what I mean?
This whole idea of waiting three days to text, acting like you don’t care too much, pretending you’re unbothered just to seem “cool” it’s exhausting. It’s like you’re being asked to shrink your heart to fit someone else’s timeline. And honestly? I can’t do that. I won’t do that.
Because when I love, I show it. I get excited. I want to send good morning messages, talk about dreams, ask how your day went, and care… really care. I don’t want to be a mystery or a challenge to be unlocked. I just want to be known. Fully. Honestly. And that’s hard to do when you’re busy playing games that tell you to act uninterested or to hold back just to protect your pride.
The truth is, the lover girl doesn’t fall in love with potential or the chase. She falls in love with presence. With someone who chooses her back, consistently, without second-guessing. She doesn’t need suspense. She needs security. She doesn’t want mixed signals. She wants mutual effort.
So no, retro dating isn’t for her. Not for the girl who sends voice notes because she misses you. Not for the one who cries when she’s overwhelmed by love. Not for the girl who believes that loving someone should feel safe, not strategic.
If being too much, too emotional, too expressive makes me “wrong” for this dating world, then maybe the world is the one that needs to change. Because honestly? The lover girl deserves someone who meets her energy and not someone who makes her feel like she’s asking for too much when all she’s ever given is everything.
Always,
