Not too long ago, Elisa teased me about my unflinching desire to remain single and unattached.

I reminded her that not too long ago, I had attempted online dating, which she was aware of, but I quit before I could go on the first date.

I didn’t want to sound pessimistic when she insisted I try again. She said I had not given myself the opportunity to get to know the guys who showed interest. And to be honest, I barely made it through ten chats if I’m not mistaken.

According to my friend and the dating analysis, people find love after dating for 134 days, while 32% get into serious relationships after 90 days.

That sounds absurd!

I tried to convince my friend that I’m not emotionally stable to put up with a serious relationship at the moment.

To which she replied, “that it is the same song I’ve been singing” since she meet me three years ago.

She thinks I’m self-sabotaging my dating chances, so she practically forced me to go on a date she set up with her brother-in-law.
