I'm trying to be more spontaneous in my dating life.

Last week, I spent three hours spontaneously overthinking whether I should text him back immediately or wait a strategic 23 minutes.

I saw a guy's dating profile that said he's 'looking for someone to share his love of travel and trying new things'

But his Instagram stories are just 12 consecutive photos of him posing in front of the same airport departures board

I've been trying to learn how to accept compliments without apologizing for them

but so far, my default response is still 'oh, this old thing? I just threw it on'

I love how self-care ads always say 'take a few minutes for yourself each day'

like I can just carve out a tranquil oasis between my 3 PM meeting and 3:05 PM panic attack
