OkCupid זה אונליין דייטינג בחינם.

Ok, so how stupid is it that I'm buying into the whole "Valentine's Day" schtick? I'm feeling quite lonely more than ever on this day, and feeling stupid for feeling lonely. I mean, today isn't any different than yesterday was, nor will it be any different than tomorrow. So why do I feel...I don't know, empty inside...like I'm really missing something seemingly the rest of the world is enjoying.

Every time I turn around I see something that'll remind me how solitary I am. Today I saw a commercial that was so touching to me (coincidentally, it was for an alternate online dating site). It started with two people so in love with each other; the woman pregnant and beaming. Then it rewound back to when they initially met through said website...this all sounds pretty boring and cliche in words, but seeing it made me want that so fervently. The whole thing...the chemistry and love with a partner you'll be with the rest of your life, and the joys of a budding family.

It's not that I don't think it won't happen for me. I am a very optimistic person who believes in a happy ending for me because I will make it happen. It's just that sometimes this attitude seems to fail me, like today, leaving me disheartened.

Well, tomorrow's another day.

Imagine that your ex-partner is still in love with you even though you have firmly ended the relationship. Would you consider accepting an offer from them for no-strings-attached sex?

• Yes.
• No.

Ok, what's funny about this question is the fact that it is actually talking about me. I have firmly ended the relationship and my ex is still in love with me. The subject did come up, strangely enough, by him if we could have no-strings-attatched sex. I, of course, responded with an empahatic "No". I think it's morally reprehensible and wrong. Even if it would be just sex to you, obviously if the other person is still in love with you, it would mean much more to them and be even more devastating to them when you go on your way without them. And to do that to someone is horrible. It's bad enough that they're feeling crushed because you left them in the first place. Why would you worsen the situation for them, no matter what caused the relationship's downfall or what they did or didn't do.

Besides, why would you want to have sex with someone you yourself wanted nothing to do with anymore? Personally, that's a chapter closed in my book, and it's time to start a new life, whether it be alone or with someone new. Either way, be happy in life with who you are. You don't need to backtrack in any way to achieve this.
