    Bestes Zitat aus Finding Serious Love After Casual Dating

    Eingabefrage

    I am 26, a woman, and have never had an “official” relationship. I had a very academically challenging university experience. I hook up with lots of men and have had sex with over 50 men. I had an incredibly fulfilling, busy, happy, and sometimes stressful job that I recently got laid off from. I am prescribed bupropion and adderall. I use dating apps regularly since I was 18. I eventually want to settle down and have kids. I only want to date to marry. I often like men more than they like me
