Young love

[alerymin@shelter.moe]

@AzulCrescent I cannot relate enough to that

@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt not really a skill issue, the modern dating game only really works if you're neurotypical and ideally cishet

IMO meeting someone interesting is much more likely through fedi or bsky than on basically any of the dating apps or IRL (unless you get really lucky)

@AzulCrescent Hugs offered.

@AzulCrescent goddamn right where it hurts huh 🫂

@AzulCrescent I'm 28. I first got to experience love at just short of 26. I'm still living through these wonderful moments with the beautiful beloved in my life, as much of a struggle as it is to get there.

Maybe life won't give you that chance. But I believe it's worth having hope for.

@AzulCrescent i feel you sending you love and positive energy

[azulcrescent@tech.lgbt]

@alice I appreciate the comment, and i think what you say is true. Im not sure that venue is open for me due to me being a .... "public figure". It feels easily abused and imbalanced(in both ways), and ive had a scare with one of my readers being extremely parasocially attached to me to the point of professing their love and life to me (when i knew nothing about them) that i dont think i want to take that chance. Thank you for your empathy though.

@AzulCrescent @alice I love both these responses for the earnesty of experience expressed

[alice@mk.nyaa.place]

@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt yeah, that is fair

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@AzulCrescent its not skill issue its just you, and you isnt inherently good or bad

[basicbitch@blahaj.zone]

@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt Damn this hit so close to home, it actually hurt

@AzulCrescent 🫂🫂🫂
I promise you that love young isn't everything.
The right person can appear at any time. My person found me in my 40's. I know others who found their person later in life.
Be open to possibilities. Life will happen. Often when you least expect it

@AzulCrescent while you may never get young love, it's never too late for old love. I feel your hurt, but if this is something you desire please don't give up on yourself.

@Alerymin @AzulCrescent

I'm nearing fifty and got my first gf ever at 45, and pretty much instantly got what you wanted. You are not too old, and never will be.
