Dumped My Toxic Friend, Matched on Tinder

Six months on dating apps, and my inbox was emptier than my fridge before payday. Out of desperation (and boredom), I wiped my Tinder and started fresh. Suddenly, I had matches. Was my old profile cursed? Or did the algorithm just feel sorry for me? I tried to get advice from my only friend. Big mistake. She basically told me I was a lost cause and even offered to pay for an escort so I could lose my virginity. (Um, thanks?) So, I decided to cut her out. No more self-esteem vampires. I looked in the mirror and realized: I’m not a supermodel, but I’m not a goblin either. I’m decent, and I deserve better. I chatted with a new match who seems genuinely nice. Maybe things are looking up? I’m going to start jogging, grab some new makeup, and maybe a cute cardigan. Not for Tinder, but for me. Here’s to being comfortable in my own skin. #dating #selflove #toxicfriends #RomanticRelationships
