Clearing out my room. Getting rid of the first date Starbucks cup ๐Ÿฅน its time. Itโ€™s about 4 1/2 years old now. I know, I know, gross (and I have a feeling thereโ€™s a spider living in it)

I kept it cos I was so proud of myself for going on that date - not cos of the guy, he wasnโ€™t a keeper. He was a bit of a numpty, really.

It takes me soo long to decide on someone, so if it ends Iโ€™m completely crushed cos I truly love them. Took me two bloody years to go on a date with someone else, and I was so proud of it that I kept the cup, kind of like a trophy. Donโ€™t need it anymore though. Dating is scary, but Iโ€™ve totally got this ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

Amazing story, it's like a victory cup! Maybe just kick out the spider and keep it after all? ๐Ÿ˜œ

It totally is! You get it ๐Ÿซ‚ but I got to let it go ๐Ÿฅน spider and all ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚ things feel different now, I feel more confident that I donโ€™t need a reminder that I was once brave anymore ๐Ÿซ‚

That's good. People grow. We learn, we overcome, we get stronger. You got this ๐Ÿ’ญ๐Ÿ’ช

I have a couple memorabilia from important learning, never throwing those out. Like to have something physical rather than in my mind.

Thatโ€™s wonderful ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚ nah I get that too. Iโ€™ve kept a diary since I was about 11 years old so I keep those and a few letters and things too. I like to look back, but only to move forwards ๐Ÿซ‚

wow that must be a stack of diaries. Wish I did that. Must be so cool to read your past thoughts and view on life ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ญ

I was pretty bad at updating it so itโ€™s not so many, but it is very cool and very funny to read ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซ‚ would highly recommend starting one whenever, cos your old thoughts will always delight you ๐Ÿซ‚

Whoa whoa whoaโ€ฆ whatโ€™s a numpty???

I love how thatโ€™s the bit that people ask about ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚ itโ€™s a slang word for โ€˜stupidโ€™ here, but a nice way of saying it

Wellโ€ฆI understand the rest of the post lol. ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿฅน

You went on one date with this guy or was he a boyfriend?

Was two dates and he made me wait 8 hours on the third date ๐Ÿ˜‚ dating is rough ๐Ÿ™ˆ my big brother was pissed at me for letting him do that. Definitely not a boyfriend, but I was proud of myself for getting out there again ๐Ÿฅน

This is not healthy, love. It shouldnโ€™t take you two years to move on ๐Ÿ˜…

I donโ€™t take love lightly. Iโ€™m old school

Definitely not writing you that poem anymore ๐Ÿ˜‚

8 hours?! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ he's right ๐Ÿ’€ thats so disrespectful

Iโ€™d only really dated the one guy so I didnโ€™t know much about dating ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ learnt since then ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚

๐Ÿ˜ณ

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’œ

Keeping mementos/trophies from past relationships could be taken the wrong way by your future suitors ๐Ÿ˜…

It was just 2 dates ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚ the guy himself was not the point ๐Ÿซ‚ it was just a reminder that id be okay, even if i got hurt again

Also, never had a guy in my room before so heโ€™d probably never know, but of course if something gets serious then Iโ€™d get rid of old stuff ๐Ÿซ‚ I think until a guy is exclusive with you and is your boyfriend he canโ€™t really say much.

What is a numpty lol

You ๐Ÿฅน

Just kidddinggg ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซ‚ sorry, I had to. A numpty is a kind way of calling someone โ€˜stupidโ€™ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซ‚

You are good ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Actually made me laugh i set my self up for that one

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿซ‚

i feel compelled to let people know that a numpty is British slang for a bit of a stupid person
