Dating In Your Early 20s

Dating is really weird. Like we’re together, but not really together. Am I allowed to see other people? Do I text you after we’ve met up? Do you like me? Do I tell you I like you?

I’m so fed up of people not being honest with me. If you want to just hook up - say. But there’s the door honey. I just want someone I can be myself around, go to gigs with, get drunk, eat food out with, kiss, hold hands, watch the sunset with and go on ridiculously long car rides together. Not asking for much right?

So many people I know at my age are settling down, with kids, a house or even engaged. I mean, I can’t even look after myself yet alone another human being. 

So, dating? What even is it? Where is the line drawn between being actually together and just seeing each other? Let me know, because I surely have no clue.
