If dating has become an exhausting job or chore more than an exciting adventure, and you’ve been at it for so long… what are the alternatives?

A letter arrived into my virtual mailbox from “Leg the Stallion” asking me why I am retiring from dating.

Great question to answer.

But first: Singles, if you’re exhausted with the chasm of dating, what keeps you engaged in it day after day and night after night? Sex. Nah. Food. Nah. Drama. Perhaps. Standards. Maybe. Pressures. Surely.

Does the endless scroll of dating apps, hooking up, and trying to read minds excite you or exhaust you? 

Does it fill you or fool you?

Do you use romantic or physical connection to fill the empty spaces in your soul?

Food for thought.

Therefore to “Leg the Stallion” and all of the listeners out there, I will take the hill and answer this question honestly and authentically right now on Warrior Wednesday.

I hadn’t quit at anything I put my mind to… but saying no to people, places and things that recurrently stress me finally didn’t feel like quitting.  Instead it felt like winning.

Excerpt: “When I graduated and I realized – wow! A lot of my friends are married. Or engaged, or already have like whole families. I was like waking up like Rip Van Winkle. Waking up and looking around. And being like, wait? So Huh? You mean to tell me? That I missed so much. In my pursuit of all things educational…”
