I gave them a solid 6 months starting in October and really put in a lot of effort, tried to average a new first date every week. Happy to report I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be eligible for this group anymore after tomorrow as a result—met someone worth those six months of work. Hang in there!

tell us ur storyyyyy

Yes. Though I went to my first ever speed dating event and that was an experience LOL

likefunny

The event I went to was 10 minutes each, no early exit option, and it was 8 dates in a row, but they wound up having more girls than guys so all the girls had a “friend date” rotation where they were matched with a girl. From the moment we got there, I felt like the guys there were staring at us like animals at the zoo. One guy was talking about how he kept drugs at his apt not bc he used them, but “for the ladies…” I felt like every dating cliche you have ever seen on TV was present in real life there. Didn’t help that the event host kept hitting on me in a very sexually suggestive way the entire night, and he was the only one who had my contact information because he was the host, which was unnerving.

Yeah, pretty much gave up on dating as a whole at this point too. The bullshit and horror stories are not worth it to me anymore. I’d rather be single, safe, and happy than keep up the pretense of dating.

So done....

For me its worst....im a single mom of a 13 and 6 yr old. Emphasis on "Single mom". No co-parenting, just me. Was on a dating app for single parents and still no luck. Talk to 1 guy for 3 months. Seemed like things were going good. Deleted my profile and everything. Every time I asked him to come see me "im busy" . Said he would love for me to come see him, but when I offer..too busy. We all know no matter how "busy" we get, we make time for the ones we're interested in 🤷🏻‍♀️ He says he wants me, im his...but never put forth any effort. One day he randomly shows up at my home while im tc my children (both attend private school online) and waiting for my landlord to do work in my apartment. Texts me and tells me to come outside right quick. Im like what? I tried to get everything situated to run out front. Ig I took too long 10-15 minutes ...nice day and he was driving. Not like he was on the street in the cold or like i knew he was coming. I called him afterwards, we talked for about 25-30 minutes. He told me to call him later. I did. Next day he was pissed off and weird. This was constantly. Texts saying hi baby convo going great...2 days later weird random attitude. Spoke to him last about 5 days ago i texted him to see how he was doing...had hurt my leg...showed him the brace, told me have it looked at. Told him I couldn't get there to tc of that at the moment (financial reasons) and that I would be fine. Guess that pissed him off too 🙄 haven't heard from him since. He's a veteran probably has ptsd.. idk, but i do know i was very patient with him. Guess that wasn't enough. Soooooo, im done looking

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.
