Daily Inspiration Quote by Kylie Bax

"I'm working on just finding a boyfriend right now"

About this Quote

A model admitting she is "working on just finding a boyfriend right now" lands with the bluntness of a status update, but the phrasing is doing more cultural work than it first appears. "Working on" treats romance like a project plan: a goal to optimize, a task to manage, an outcome you can hustle toward. That managerial tone is the tell. It reflects a world where personal life is folded into the same performance economy as a career - especially for someone whose job is built on being looked at, evaluated, and booked.

The subtext isn’t desperation so much as calibration. By saying "just", Bax narrows the horizon and preemptively lowers expectations. It’s a soft defense against the usual interview script that follows models: the relentless accounting of ambition, body, youth, and desirability. "Just" signals, I’m not auditioning for sainthood or a brand refresh; I’m trying to have a normal want. At the same time, it’s a public declaration of availability that stays safely non-specific: no details, no vulnerability beyond the premise, no confession that could be weaponized by tabloids.

Context matters because the dating market for public figures is never private. For a model, the boyfriend can read as both intimacy and optics - a stabilizing accessory or a liability, depending on the era’s mood. The line works because it’s both candid and controlled: a small human desire delivered in the language of career, turning romance into something measurable enough to be safe.
