Finding anyone that I’m interested in that isn’t lying about her mutual interest in me. I’ve been single for the past five years outside of a couple short term relationships with people that I foolishly settled for because I was tired of being alone. I ended all of those relationships because what’s the point of dating someone you’re not that interested in? It’s not fair to you or her.
It’s hard to find a babysitter for an autistic kid and we can’t really afford one while I’m unemployed anyway. So most of our date night boil down to get the kids in bed early so that we can have a glass of wine together and maybe make out a bit before bed. But the autistic kid will SCREAM because bedtime isn’t supposed to be for another 45 minutes. So by the time we get her calmed down, we’re exhausted and just want to go to bed.
We did get the Grandparents to take the kids for a night. So that was our first night out in two years. My wife picked a tapas restaurant and it was fantastic to be ‘off the clock’
I struggle socialising. I take steps to ensure I don’t have to socialise and in turn go more towards loneliness and further from any possibility of dating.
I’m currently a law student and also a competitive strongman.
My entire life is focused around that and a lot of girls my age find my life to be insanely boring. Also given most of my socialization is gonna be with law students most of the bigger events involve drinking.
I have friends I hang with, but most of them are kinda like me doing other stuff on the side. If I’m not doing the two stated we’re playing video games or I’m doing time attack runs on Sonic games.
24M I just want to find a woman that likes me for me. I feel like I have tried everything but nothing has worked out. Not to mention I work full time at a restaurant. I am back of house staff. Plus I’m practically working all the time.
I get into relationships to cure my loneliness and warn others of doing the same but struggle to break up with incompatible partners. Was stuck in a 6 year relo and now I’m almost 2 years in this one…
I’m afraid people will think I’m damaged in some way because I’m single (as of last night again). I’m 33F, no kids, no serious debt, I have a pretty good job. I was in a long term relationship for almost 10 years and just haven’t found the right fit since. But I think people automatically think “single at that age – must be something wrong with her”
I struggle with that initial conversation right after matching with someone, especially with matches that have very little info on their profile.
I can’t imagine what a woman who gets a dozen messages a day from a hundred thirsty dudes would want to hear. I know I can’t just say “hey” or anything like that, but I also can’t hit her up with “sup nice tits”. Nothing I’ve tried works, or they respond to one message and never reply again.
I’m not sure what the game is here and definitely sure I don’t like playing it.
2024 rocked me financially. I’m on the mend now, and should be in a better place by the end of this year, but until then I feel like trying to date would be unfair to women and humiliating for me.
29M. Finding someone that I’m physically and mentally attracted to. Lately, it seems like every woman I meet it’s one or the other, rarely having both intersect. I’m a conventionally good looking guy with enough going on for me to be seen as a catch, but in the city I live in, the dating pool is extremely shallow, so it’s only gotten worse and worse as I’ve gotten older. I have relatively high standards on who I date now vs when I was younger, so that’s a caveat to this.
So many flakes. Having met in person or online and talked for a while, then we agree to meet just the two of us, and then the day comes and they cancel for some flimsy reason and ghost.

I live in China & Im not attracted to Asian women.
20m never dated & haven’t had me first kiss yet.

Being 5’6” and bald is a struggle. As soon as they find a better looking guy I get ghosted
The options. It’s either single moms, morbidly obese, or people with a million piercings on their face. Like no thanks
24M.

As a switch, having all of my needs being met.
I raised my standards and I’m not sure I’m hot enough to have said standards 😅

Well, I’m 35 and have never dated, been kissed, any of it, so there’s that…
Understanding why women on dating apps don’t want to actually….ya know date.
