    There were 5 that were toxic, the first one was a casual friend I ended up getting close with and started dating before we ever had sex. The next two were casual hookup partners that evolved into relationships, the fourth was actually a friend I had had since highschool and only started dating 15 years after graduation, and the fifth and final one was again a casual hookup that turned serious.

    I admit as I wrote that out I saw the issue. In defense of the fourth one, she had some issues with her childhood, and the father of her children was … let’s just say not helping. We’ve reconnected after some time and are still friends, but agreed dating was a bad idea.

      Well I’d admit that it seems like you unlocked the hot dad dating scene, go out and get them! You just keep in mind that you are gameable, and don’t eat your waffle without looking under the hood so to speak

        LoL, two words I would not use to describe myself, hot and dad. Though I admit at this point in my life it is difficult to find someone who doesn’t have children. Yeah I know I’m gameable, that’s probably something that subconsciously is holding me back. I know that when I fall for someone, I fall hard. It’s not “thinking with the wrong head” it’s thinking “don’t screw this up because you’ll be alone forever”. Maybe now that I’m comfortable being alone I can be a bit more relaxed in a relationship.
