03 Sep Why nobody is eating your work

I hung out with a friend on Sunday and he asked me this-‘Why aren’t you dating’, ‘Why don’t you have a boyfriend’. It may come as a shock to most of you when I say that I don’t think anyone has asked me that;like ever😂 okay let’s not stretch,maybe in months.
I’ve been single for over a year now and recently started going on dates(oh hey,I’m multi dating 😂💪🏾 it’s been such a great experience,maybe I’ll detail about it some time).
Anyhoo back to Sunday,this question came as a shock to me. I was shocked because so far with these guys it’s either they assume I’m available or plainly ask ‘Is anybody eating your work?’ and I honestly did not understand it the first time I was asked,not to mention, I think it’s so inappropriate. It’s cool being said on Twitter timeline but as a first date question? Come on guys,be respectful and reword. I think if it must be asked,how about you say- Are you sexually active?(I’m deviating😂 so I’ll chill on the English appropriation).

This conversation usually starts this way:

Boy- Do you have a Boyfriend?
Gold- No I do not.
Boy- Okay,so is anybody eating your work or who is eating your work?
Gold’s mind- First of all,not only is your question intrusive but also,who it is shouldn’t be any of your concern 🙄🙄
(…Boy sees the disgust on my face or my reaction of discomfort,so tries laughing it off)
Boy- (Mutters) Well,I would like to eat your work
Gold- Becomes an instant statue😂😂😂

So you see,this is why no one is eating your work,you’re a little too uptight to understand social media vocabularies in the real world. You’re way up in your head,demanding for respect from these men that aren’t even aware of your value. Why would anyone be interested in eating your work when all you’re thinking about is sentence reword and appropriate date questions. You’re out here giving men strikes on the first date when you barely know their names,so how dare you think your work should be eaten? LMAO.

On a more serious note,I’m scared(you’re screaming aren’t we all at this point). Well I am. Not only did my previous relationship scar me deeply,but I do not see any serious potential in any of the guys I’m going out with presently and that alone is scary.

Am I doing it wrong?
Am I looking for something too serious and deeper in today’s society?
Am I too advanced for Men?
Should I take my attraction for women more seriously at this point?(I heard, once you get into the lady pool,you wouldn’t want to leave)
Also,am I just attracting the wrong guys?

I know we say not to judge a book by the cover,I have also been told severally to take it easy on guys and open up more but how many more times can one person open up? It is exhausting to keep opening up a door and it getting slammed in my face. I don’t have a face anymore and my door is half way out of hinge. However,I stay being hungry for love/thirsty for affection as the image above says and I do not want to give up hope for myself and my future babies.

Maybe this explains why I’m not in a relationship or why no one is eating my work but I had to get this off my chest. So thank you for reading✌🏾
