I have a huge announcement.

Thistles.

The longest.

I've been single since I was 15.

Thank you.

Small crowd of Children.

For the last seven months, I've been working on myself, working out and working, working, working, working lots of therapy.

And now that my heart has scraped itself off the floor and stitched, it's broken, bloody mangled body together and cleaned herself up.

I'm ready to get back out there.

And I have never been someone who, like goes on dates.

I almost always meet a person through work or mutual friends.

And then we like each other, and then I'm in a relationship for like, three years.

Navigating the dating scene has been awkward.

For example, the first date I went on when, like this, I, like, watched all your videos, like, you know, figure out what you're all about.

And I feel like I know so much more about your life than you know about my life.

Oh, okay.

Cool.

Eso tell me your life story.

I'm boring.

Okay.

Uh, but I do have two cats.

Oh, Okay.

Cool.

You know what the fuck is up with vegan places like they're always trying to make, like, fake versions of, like, real food.

Just stop fucking drunk.

So, what do you do for a living?

I work for a tech company.

That school.

Do you like it?

No, I fucking hate it.

But I've been there for, like, eight years.

Okay?

And then I had to sit for another half hour and talk to this gentleman.

But I'm learning how to be comfortable saying No, not only because I don't wanna waste anyone else's time, But I also don't want to hurt their feelings by being dishonest or by ghosting.

Well, I guess I can't have sex now because I'm another riel transparent being Well, haven't you seen the movie ghost?

Yeah, E o U up when I e started being totally up front about how I feel who I am and what I'm looking for.

And if someone can't meet those expectations, no hard feelings.

And I know dating could be confusing and difficulty.

But if you navigated by knowing what you want and are kind and respectful of people's feelings and your own most importantly, it is an infinitely better process.

And yes, dating so far has been a literal nightmare.

But as me and my friends have like to say first D, then the C C for content.

I'm Anna Khanna.
