☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— But he, the guy I was traveling with, actually lent it to me. I read it with great interest, and he, watching the process, even gave me such an eloquent look, as if wondering, "How can she even read such horror?" But guys are all different, so some, hmm, thrill-seekers might even find the described outcome quite appealing.

— Oh, there are many things people say. My acquaintance offered a completely different reason – unrealistic expectations. From his point of view, men are primarily interested in a pleasant face and a beautiful figure. Everything else is secondary. He then asked me about my criteria. I don't know if he was considering asking me out or was just curious. But it's not that important," the Tanarisi waved her hand. "As you can see from the example, men are different. And the circumstances in which you can meet them are also different. I've had relationships in my life that ended for reasons that had nothing to do with my interests. There were times when strangers approached me, wanting to get to know me better. But my lifestyle, with frequent travels, doesn't exactly encourage romantic pursuits. But there is some truth in what your acquaintance said. If you spend all your free time at home, avoiding new acquaintances and social interactions, your circle of friends will be limited to just colleagues. You might get lucky and meet your soulmate among them, but it's not worth relying on that. So, it makes sense to go out sometimes, expand your list of acquaintances. Start conversations. Or try to get to know your colleagues better if you haven't already. Maybe someone has a lonely, handsome brother who is also looking for a partner? But... there is no guaranteed way to find good and stable relationships that would satisfy you in every way. That's just the reality of life.
