35M. Friend zoned after one date. What am I doing wrong? I met her at a baby shower. We talked/text regular for about a month or so because I was traveling for work. Finally went on a date about two weeks ago, a week after I told her I like her and said she never thought about us being romantic. Today I got the official friend zoned text.

Nothing wrong with you but just not the right match.
If there would be something wrong with you they would have ghosted you.
They must have thought you were nice but no chemistry.
It’s a numbers game in the beginning.

@fm - seriously, must you project your ‘women are the worst because they’re picky or they’re flaky or they’re racist’ views and make this about you in every single bowl?

American women get turned off quicker than electricity in a hurricane. Don’t even know how to flirt.

My man, get yourself a Latina. She’ll value way more how you are.

First are you M or F? Second, give us the details of what happened leading to the date, as well as the date itself.

Hmm so she had already seen you. Ok. Then how was the date? What type of date was it?

Thanks

You're not doing anything "wrong" per se. There's a billion people on this planet and you're not always gonna have chemistry and be physically attracted to them. She didn't find you physically attractive so that's why she's passing on you, plain and simple.

I think telling someone you like them -- before going on a few dates -- seems a bit desperate.

This is the type of woman that then complains that their SO never does anything romantic for them.


Gee I wonder why.

I think telling the other person that you like him/her after a few dates is much better than dragging it out for months. Make it clear form the get-go. You can save your time and effort.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

Signed up for a matchmaking service a couple months ago after getting tired of the apps. And while I’ve been underwhelmed with their process so far, I finally have my first match date this weekend. Haven’t been on a date since pre-pandemic. And never been on a true blind date like this. Wish me luck.
