Part 7: Dating

Ah good day, or night, or morning, and everything else in between. A topic I'm very excited about will be written and published today. Dating. Love. Heartbreak. New beginnings, or endings. Dating is a wonderful, and beautiful expirence for anyone and everyone. Dating for the LGBT+ is the same, but very, and I mean very, difficult. You flirt, they take it as a compliment (anyone else struggle here too)? Anywho, I've decided to, try, help you all go out there and mingle. With who? Whoever you want to mingle with of course! Who knows, you may end up lucky someday. I know I have. More on that later.

So, dating eh? Dating is special for anyone that expirences it. If there's anythig I've learned from dating, it's that heartbreak will always follow you. I've dated two people, one male, one female, my entire existance, and it lead me to heartbreak. No matter who you date, or marry, there will always be heartbreak of some sort along the road to happiness. Both  of my past relationships ended up in the turn for the worst. They just weren't the right person for me, and I them. But one day, you will find someone special, and they will make you the happiest person on the face of the Earth. 

Dating is hard, so I understand if you're struggling with it. I couldn't find a single female in my school to like me back. One day she did, and the next day she pulled too hard on my heartsrings (an actual thing by the way) and broke me. It took weeks to repair, but, here I am, full and not hurt anymore. Wanna know a cool fact? Your heartstrings, if pulled too much by emotional pain, could break and kill you. So, scientifically, you could die from a broken heart. Don't go breakin' my heart if ya know what I mean. (That's actually true. I do my research).

While my fact is cool and all, a broken heart is a heart too much to bear. Please don't fret my dear lovebirds, for I am here to hold your hand and help you, or at least try, find love.

Dating. How do you know if you actually liek them? I'm pretty sure it's in my "Crushes" chapter. (It's not. I'm just gonna put it in here.) Okay, so maybe it's not in that chapter. Oh well, I'll explain the best to my abilities.

Crush: Makes you feel good, happy, fabulous. 

Not A Crush: Makes you feel bad, sad, angry, etc.

Crush: You feel your heart beat faster when seeing them/talking to them.

Not A Crush: Doesn't do the above parts.

Easy enough right? Right. Now, the tough part is, how do I get them to like me back? My dear child, please, pull up a chair. The truth is, there is no way for you to force them to like you. They will like you on their own, or not like you at all, at least, in that way. (Or you use reverse psychology and get them to think they like you(aka minipulation) which I do not approve of. Don't use that ever)! You will find the right person eventually, it will just take time.

Take your box of tissues and swallow the truth: Love will find you when the time is right. It could be tomorrow, or next week/month/year. Love will pop up at your window and say "You're gonna fall in love today buddy!" Love is strange like that. But, love is also very beautiful.

Now about earlier, the part I'm getting to. Yes, I, the fabulous author of this guide, type book, has found herself a girlfriend. Weird right? Like, does she need help? Who would date me? *Girlfriend raises hand* Put that down. Anywho, I've known her for four and half years, I think? Yeah. I met her in 2011ish. So about four and a half/five years. She actually asked me out herself. I didn't see it coming. She said, and I quote her exact words, "Sophia, can you come here?" I respond with, "Did I do something wrong?" That's my go to excuse. What she did was so s=cute. She fiddled with her hands and a slight blanket of rouge appeared on her face and she said, "Would you, I don't know, wanna go out maybe?" Totally unexpected. I felt my own rouge blanket appear and happily accepted her offer. I love her so much, my own little girlfriend. How exciting?!

I'll let you go now. Oh, I'm also writing a new book entitled, "Me, Her, And The Moon" which you should totally go check out whenever I ahve the time to publish teh first chapter, probably tomorrow. Why am I self-advertising me new book? Cause it'll be GAY AS FUCK THAT'S WHY!! Now, I'll actually let you go. Sweet dreams/ good morning/ enjoy the rest of your day my dear friends. Until next time, bye!
