Mine has always been those who can't make up their mind whether they want to bother with you or not. Like I have someone who, what felt like was pulling teeth almost, to confess whether they were interested in me or not. The best they could say was "I didn't say I am but I also didn't say I'm not either". Like what the hell kind of response is that?

With things like that, I am a 'yes' or 'no' type of person. Don't be dicking with my feelings like that. In fact, I would want to hear 'no' by this point because that would give me the release to pursue others.

Another peeve is lack of building. I'm huge on building. Pry into my world and I'll pry into yours, lets learn eachother as much as we can. We can't learn anything if the conversation is always short-strung by one-wording eachother to death.

So for me when I was dating it was that people were never interested in me as a person, for a variety of reasons.

So for example a lot of people my age have children and look for a mother figure. Or think mothers themselves are not for serious companionship.

Or looking for what I provide as a service (free therapy).

Or it’s a money thing.

Eventually it went from annoying to exhausting. Well, it was not adding anything to my life so why bother?
