Cursed to stay single

Am I cursed?

Is it me?

Is there something wrong with me?

Is there no one for me?

Am I being too picky?

It seems I can never go past a talking stage now

But at the same time I wonder if I do want something more

Now it’s like I get the ick from something so little

Whether I don’t like how this person is too clingy

Or expects me to respond right away

Or they just aren’t it

I’m always finding something I don’t like

I feel like I just has standards now

As opposed to before I didn’t

But look where that got me

Is it bad to have standards?

Or will having standards keep me single forever?

There’s been some where I thought I’d be able to go past the talking stage

But they don’t want what I want

The ones I want don’t want me

And the ones who want me I don’t want

The more failed talking stages that happen

Makes me just want to give up

Stay alone

I’m use to it at this point

Maybe that’s why I’m being so picky

Or I’m just afraid to let someone in again

Who knows
