25 M, currently dating a 37 yo woman I met at a strip club. She pays for everything, so far so good.

Not in my thirties yet but it’s been hard out here. Hopefully I find someone soon 😌

Houston online dating has a lot of HIV positive men being outed for not disclosing their statuses so BE CAREFUL and GET TESTED. Women post these men regularly on FB warning other women. High syphillis rates also

Uh pretty lousy for a good stretch (2020-2021)lots of women weren’t ready for commitment, not over their exes, etc. but met someone at the beginning of last year. So there’s hope out there!

33F and I haven’t had any luck in the many years I’ve tried dating in this city

Yup! A few of them - bumble, hinge, Tinder.. just the same people, fake profiles, and occasionally real men that ghost

31 F here, and it's terrible. I've been on Tinder on and off that I am pretty sure a lot of guys are tired of seeing my face. Basically all the good ones got taken and as expected nobody wants to actually date, they just want to hookup.

I used Tinder. The same people are in all the apps

I’m laughing at all you 20- and 30- somethings, because guess what…?! 49/F here, and trust me when I say, the older you get the harder it will be to find a good man who is committed partner material in this town. 🤣😭 Single and likely to remain that way.

I’ve also been struggling too cause I decided dating apps aren’t where good people are at. I will say going out more in general I have been approached by some men even though it didn’t work out. Trying to stay positive

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

So this dude asked me late last night if I wanted to call him and said he needed someone to talk to while working late..told me to let him know if I had a guy over then he’ll talk to someone else. I didn’t have a guy over and not that kind of person so why assume that? It pisses me off.
