People Unveil The Number One Thing Holding Them Back From Returning To The Dating World

For those of you who haven't gone out and tried the dating thing in a bit, let me remind you how f*cking exhausting it is. Not only physically, sure it can take hours to prepare, and you might get a blister after convincing yourself that you're the type of girl who casually wears stilettos in a city —spoiler alert, I am not one of those girls. Beyond any of these struggles, dating can also feel psychologically draining. Not only when you spend your days trying to figure out how they feel about you, but also when you genuinely are not clear on your emotions towards them. If you're anything like me, when I'm dating, I'm usually gaslighting my gut feeling at every intersection, and it's stressful.

On Reddit, women are sharing the things that hold them back from dating again, and these may feel relatable to you as well.
