I judged it not by what's inside, but by its appearance

My heart hurts, so I want you to listen to the story
Today I met a kid I met on a matching app.
I was on the phone the whole time deciding on the store, and the conversation was so frank that I felt as if we were in a relationship

But when I met her, she had a cleft palate. I was surprised, but what was inside of her was a real, very nice girl, and it was fun.
But to be honest, I didn't ask for a LINE exchange locally at that time because I thought it would be difficult to develop into a relationship
She also seemed to accept her own way of life and was calm

I feel sorry for myself for looking like a really nice kid and ended up wearing a sleeve. I've been on the phone for 3 nights, so my feelings have changed and I feel lonely, and it's painful. It's all about myself.

Contact information cannot be exchanged within the app due to operational reasons.

Why am I so pathetic? I'm worried about her feelings. I'm also worried about whether she's been traumatized.

Animal love

It seems that male lions have black manes.
It's normal for animals to choose love partners based on appearance.
Since they choose partners who will leave offspring, physical characteristics are also important.
I don't think human love is much different from animal love, and in the case of Japanese people, I think it would be better to have a slightly more animal-like romance as a countermeasure against the declining birthrate.
I'm not recommending lookism in every situation, and if you take a step back from a Buddhist perspective, I think love is an extension of the affliction of greed after all.
When it comes to love, there is both age discrimination and gender discrimination. They may choose partners based on their financial situation, place of residence, language, or ethnicity.
Passing because you can't speak Japanese would be unavoidable in love.
Your kindness was fully conveyed from the content of your question.
But I think that kindness should be demonstrated in situations other than love.
For example, even if politicians are personally close to each other, they will fight by belonging to different political parties if they have different political ideals.
Let's think of romance and friendship as separate genres.

Great encounters and relationships

I read it.
I read your thoughts and feelings.
There are times when you look at that person's appearance and you may think that way.
I think you were very impressed when you met that person's beauty and wonderful humanity.
I think there are probably people other than you who know that person's beauty and wonderful humanity.
There are various encounters, relationships, values, preferences, and compatibility between people.
I sincerely pray that you and that person will be blessed with wonderful encounters and relationships in the future, and that you will be able to live a life rich and full of moisture by loving each other and sharing happiness with your loved ones.
And I wholeheartedly support you and that person.

I'm sure she's experienced it many times until now, so I don't think it was a big trauma. I don't know the exact thing though.
I think struggling with the eternal human challenge of judging people based on their appearance is great in itself.
It's a difficult question, isn't it? People often say don't discriminate against people in the world, but doesn't your wife really choose based on her face? It makes me want to say that, doesn't it? Also, even if you look better with plastic surgery, for example, other men may approach you and be betrayed by you. Or if you pay for the surgery, it may give her the yoke that she has to go out with you because she is grateful even if someone else she likes. That's not good for each other's happiness, is it? Also, even if you marry someone who looks good, will you get divorced if you leave a similar scar on your face due to a traffic accident etc. right after getting married? There is also a question. Also, maybe she is looking for someone who has pride in her face and will accept her face as it is without surgery until now.
No one knows what the right answer is. Because nobody knows about the future.
So I think I have no choice but to live my life thinking that I'm glad I made my own decisions. Let's pray that we meet a better man than me.

What's inside and what it looks like is important

When it comes to falling in love, I think the content and appearance are just as important.
I don't like the way it looks, but the content is attractive, and there is no one more soothing than this.
Or, there are times when there is a problem with the content, but they are fascinated by the way it looks and they are willing to put up with any kind of patience for this person.
In this case, the person inside was a very nice kid, but I came to the conclusion that there was no choice but within myself when it came to the appearance.
If you insist on it, you'll end up hurting her.
It's probably enough just that the look wasn't to my liking.

I think the other side also has a different image of the girlfriend they are looking for.

There was such an encounter, wasn't it? There are also slight differences between feeling that they are a good person and the feeling of falling in love with them. I like it, but it's different from being in love. He's a fun person, but he doesn't seem to be excited.

I think the other side also has a different image of the girlfriend you are looking for.
Even if you didn't ask for a LINE exchange, if she had a strong desire to develop an encounter, the relationship might have continued.

In love, when you feel alone, you can't do anything; it's only when you have a partner.
No one knows if your decision hurt your opponent this time. Also, people have the power to overcome. It's fine. She probably has people around her to support her.

Why don't you look forward to each other, hoping to be happy while using the time you met as a good memory?
