So I decided to actually try out those Virgo love tips for 2024 everyone’s talking about. I figured, why not? I’m single, it’s a new year, and I need a plan.
Getting Started Was a Mess
First thing I did was sit down with a notebook. The whole “know yourself” thing sounded easy but it wasn’t. I started listing what I really want in a partner. Not just “nice” or “funny,” but deep stuff. Like, someone who doesn’t mind my weird need to organize the pantry on a Sunday night. It took me a whole afternoon. I had scribbles and cross-outs everywhere. My list was all over the place at first.
The Real Work Began
Then came the part about putting myself out there. I hate dating apps, but I downloaded a couple. I forced myself to update my profile. I used specific details, like the Virgo tips said. Instead of “I like movies,” I wrote “I like analyzing bad horror movies to figure out the plot holes.” It felt weird, but I did it. I also said yes to a friend’s invite to a board game night, which is totally out of my comfort zone. I’m usually too busy worrying if my books are sorted by color.
What Actually Happened
This is where it got interesting. The new profile got different responses. A few people actually messaged me about the horror movie thing. It was a real conversation starter, not just a “hey.” The board game night was chaotic, but I met someone there. We started talking because we were both annoyed that the game rules were poorly explained. He appreciated my attention to detail. We’re going for coffee next week.
The big takeaway for me wasn’t magic. It was about being more deliberate. I stopped just waiting for something to happen. I made a plan and took small, awkward steps. It’s not about finding a “perfect” match, but a better match. And it’s definitely a work in progress.
