Requirements in a life partner
And I don't know if maybe I'm the only one that has this point of view, but when a male is looking for a female, if she tells you she has everything she can provide for herself, you don't need to worry about her. She just would like to add you to her life. How does that help you feel valuable in the relationship as a man?
And that to me, the way that she had sort of said that, but not exactly how you said it, was an immediate red flag for me, such that I knew at that moment that we were not compatible in the long term. And so I really kind of just braced myself or prepared myself for this will be fun, something that I've never really done before, just kind of dated somebody casually, but it's never going to amount to something beyond that
