I'm not against others who take these traditions, but personally, I see that as a kind of financial burden. And I don't think the conditions are secure enough for me to want to bunker down and start a family or begin a marriage. I'm not opposed to being in a serious or committed relationship with someone, which I am. But neither me nor the other party thinks it will be smart for us to get completely committed and married at this point in time.”

Currently, I'm not dating. I don't really desire it. I don't think it's a priority in my life right now because I'm not really stable. So I don't feel like it's fair to bring someone into my life when I have nothing to offer. In my experience with dating, I just feel like a lot of people don't know what they want, and we need to figure out what we want first before we bring someone else into it.”

At the moment, dating is not my priority at all. I've experienced dating for the past few years, off and on, and I was in a short-term relationship. But honestly, I think that the dating pool today is filled with people who don't love themselves and who haven't healed from their previous relationship experiences. They struggle with communicating their wants and needs effectively and with loving themselves. This causes a lot of turbulence. My main priority right now is gaining my own financial stability and pursuing my business goals and endeavors.”
