In a world where everyone wants consent maybe we should ask for consent in dating... Like you said to me, "Hey, here's the drama/trauma I'm bringing along. I'm working on it. And what do you think about being transparent and vulnerable, possibly communicating about everything, and not only reflecting each other but reciprocating. And oh yeah, if it gets messy let's talk about that before we get scared and ghost each other. Do you consent to an adventure of this sort?? And by the way, how good are you at cheerleading? 😜"

I mean, let's be real, what kind of crazy-run-of-the-mill-extraordinary person would go for that 🤷

So next time you're worried about what you're dragging me into or putting me through remember that you asked for consent first...❤️

Didn't we, as a country, agree to stop being logical 4 months ago?..lol....Good post, although its never has been that simple in my experience. Past trauma seems to blur judgment at the most inconvenient times and then someone always reacts in the worst possible way. Ghosting appears to be the standard default move.

Humor aside, the dating consent form is a very good idea so long as each person remembers to renew it every 6 months or so....Cheerleading is a must bring even when they don't appreciate the effort.
