Welcome to Litsy!

Where does a moderately popular internet star who never leaves her house look for potential suitors? Online. Tinder, Bumble, Match.com, OkCupid�I tried them all. My thirty-one-year-old self clicked and swiped her little heart out, leading to more dates than I could count, and more disappointment than I was prepared for. Maybe you can relate. Maybe you know all too well the perils of modern dating. But let�s say, eventually, you meet someone. You think to yourself, �Wow, they�re perfect! Take me off the market, put a ring on it, knock me up, the whole enchilada, because they are �the one.�� Let�s also say that they �feel the same way� about you. Your life starts to make sense! All the pain, heartbreak, and frustration from past failed relationships was worth it. Slow clap. That�s how I felt about Milos. He was from Europe, a doctor, wealthy, athletic. He had an accent and a dog. Milos was textbook marriage material. For him it was �love at first sight,� but for me, it was �anxiety on every date.� Something was telling me to run�but for two years, the only running I did was straight into his arms. If only I would have listened. This isn�t a love story. It�s my story of survival.
