I (24F) had a pretty nice date two weeks ago with this guy I met on Hinge (23M) and he had a second date planned for Sunday. However he got called into work on Sunday and cancelled the date. I was honestly okay with it, I had some other stuff going on that day as well so it was fine that the date didn’t happen. He was apologetic about it and mentioned how he felt bad about what happened. I told him how it’s fine and “I’d still like to see you again” to which he replied with “I would also like to see you again, I just hate having a busy schedule”. Which I understand but what is bothering me is ..read more

I only date women so my generalization is myopic in that regard. But I find on dating apps and IRL, I have to do most of the talking and ask question after question. Girls usually give very short answers and don't go into detail about themselves. My answers are quite full some, and since I'm the only one asking questions I just feel like it's like pulling teeth most of the time. And I'm not talking about the women that aren't interested in me. I've dated girl who loved me and wanted to get married and it was the same. I've gone in dates with friends of friends and found the same thing only fo ..read more

Hi everyone! I feel like I just need some advice as I have been feeling insecure about my lack of dating. A little bit about my past, I had a long term on and off again relationship for the past 6 years with a high school bf that kept coming back into the picture. During this time I was either talking to him, or briefly chatting with someone else but it never went anywhere ever. Also, we are very much done as I got cheated on :) I feel so behind in life sometimes, as some of my peers are getting engaged as we are at the end of college (but I literally couldn’t imagine planning a wedding lmao ..read more

I (25 F) have been seeing this guy (27 M) since last October. We’ve been very on and off and every time we are off we somehow find a way back to each other. We go on cute dates from time to time and hangout when we can since we are both very busy but here’s the thing one time we were off I took time to reflect if I can see myself being long term with anyone right now and realized I don’t really have time for a relationship right now nor I am even in the right headspace since my last relationship really so I want just wanted something casual. it was okay for a month we were just hooking up and ..read more

This is not a rant post. I am over the feelings of resent around my situation. I don’t want to perpetuate those sentiments, they are toxic. But writing those post is a form of catharsis. Still, I want to share my experience, and I want to hear if I’m on the right track. I will not conclude I’m broken. That’s just negative self talk. I’m 32 and been pretty much single my whole life. Being slightly autistic didn’t give me a good start. Neither the depression. So it didn’t happen in adolescence. I worked hard and built my career. I’ve developed my social skills. I’m well off and I love what I do ..read more

My boyfriend(38M) and I (30F) have been dating for almost a year now, we barely have sex anymore and we I ask he makes it seem like a big deal. I had asked him before if he was masturbating in our bathroom cause he takes 45 min plus showers. Our guy friends even made it a jerk for the longest cause they said that’s exactly what he was doing and I was like oblivious to it and he lied about it He said no he just takes long showers, today I caved and went thru his phone and found porn on his phone from when he was in the shower…we haven’t had sex in weeks now because he just tells me he’s not in ..read more

So I've been seeing this girl for just over two months now and I've started to develop strong feelings for her. Anyway she just told me that she sees me as a 'short term partner' only and we will only last maybe a couple more months. She thinks I'm a nice guy and wants to continue seeing and sleeping with me, but she doesn't see me as long term and is hoping to meet a long term partner sometime this year. And yes, she actually said that to my face. I honestly don't think a women as ever made me feel this sh*tty before! We went on roughly 12 dates, but apparently I'm only good enough for short ..read more

I have 6 active dating accounts from tinder to hinge And not 1 single match or like it’s starting to make me sad I have 6 professionally shot photos of me that I used and there quite good looking and I have a great bios I’m not understanding what I’m doing wrong about to give up. submitted by /u/Lucky_sunrise4317 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So I moved to a larger city a couple of years ago. I am in my late 30s, male. One of the main reasons I came here, outside of the job I got, was for the greater chance of finding someone. I've had more success here on dating apps than anywhere / ever before. I've met around a dozen women over the 2 years I've been here. One of them was literally a 10/10 in attractiveness for me personally. I felt really good about myself about her just for the fact she was interested in me to begin with (it didn't go anywhere though). I would have had the opportunity to meet more if my schedule didn't suck up ..read more

Looked up tips, yeah be confident. Dress well. Have a good salary. Be a good man. Have hobbies. Friends. Get in shape. That’s all good, until you do all that and you’re not only written off due to something you have no control over, you get shamed for it. See link in comments. Could really use some support submitted by /u/justawasteofspace859 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
