Your message reminds me of the words “Everywhere you go, there you are.” This is something I reflect about often. What am I carrying with me into the dates?

On the flip side, I do believe going on 57 first dates and still not finding someone has a lot to do with how I approached on-line dating. If it seemed like we had potential, I suggested meeting soon, as it’s not easy to tell what our dynamic will be like until we meet in person. Maybe it’d have been better to text and gather more information first. I certainly learned a lot about myself and met some interesting people—just none where we felt a strong connection.
