The world of compromise in the dating world

The first time I became somewhat single was in 2012 after walking away from my marriage of 8 years, at this time. I was free and was going to finally try dating as an adult. You see when I met my ex-husband it was through my sister; not online, not at a club, not at a kickback, the old-fashioned way. He, in the only way a 19-year-old could, courted me ( he honestly did better than a handful of men I dated in my 30s).

So you can imagine my shock when I started dating again and the era of compromise was running rampant. No more were the days of talking all night on the phone going on meaningful dates. oh no, we are in the era of lets Netflix and chill, let’s catch a vibe, let’s go dutch or my personal fav during said Netflix and chill: let me put the tip in.
