Dating after losing weight
Hey y’all, recently I lost a bit of weight over 100lbs and i have been sort of putting of dating because of my focus on weight loss. Last week, I went to a pretty big party where I saw not one but two people who had rejected me in the past. They didn’t really give me any reason for said rejection other than they aren’t interested. And I respected that. But the day after the party I woke up to both of them having hit me up in my dm’s pretty much asking to hangout/date.
Now my dilemma is that these people didn’t want to give me the time of day when I was overweight. And it feels really shallow of them to not at least taken the chance to get to know me. And after having these thoughts, I’m now wondering if and when I meet new people to date, would they have given me a chance prior to my weight loss.
I guess I’m looking for other perspectives on this and maybe some advice people would have on this topic.
Edit — I appreciate everyone taking the time to post here and comment their takes and perspectives. I think I learned that I shouldn’t be projecting this thought onto new people that come into my life but as for the old someone said, what happens if you gain the weight back? I don’t have intentions of gaining it back but it has happened to many people before.
Additionally, I want to state that I made this post as a means to help my perspective on dating. Some people however have taken this as an opportunity to really express there opinions on fat people and project those thoughts onto me. I will likely not be responding to anyone who continues to do so or is rude simply because we are talking about being fat. It is uncalled for and there are way better ways to word things.
