It's an option. Whether it's good depends on someone's conception of good, I suppose. I mean, it works, you can meet up with people. But I prefer to just meet people in person and see if we relate. Which, as you indicate, is time consuming. But much more pleasant.

The in person connection is so important to asses the feasibility. When doing online dating I always tried to initiate a meet up as soon as possible because texting back and forth with someone you’ve never met is boring. That was a little off putting for some though.

I wouldn't say it is a good option OP. I have been doing the whole online dating thing for the past couple years and it sucks. And now with AI you don't even really know who is on the other end of that computer screen. I just don't know if dating is even worth it right now.

That is the challenge. I still never understand why people waste their own time with misleading profiles, but it’s all to easy to do right now.

I met my fiance online but was during the pandemic when that was really the only way to meet anyone. It worked out well but it also seems like the apps are not as good as they used to be. That said, I have no idea how anyone meets each other IRL anymore.

Can’t wait for Saturday to come so that my date and I can Netflix and chill, then having him sleeping over and I waking up next to him. Miss his warmth and miss giving and receiving cuddles. I like the feeling of having certain people making you behave in a more tender way. I’ve been literally longing for that moment for the week as I’m on a boring PMO case. Romance is not lost between gay guys! :)

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.

What is the best way to attract a new mate? I got out of a 7 year relationship (he was cheating on me for half of it) and I’m so confused on where to even start. I have a therapist and working on my trust issues - but I have self confidence issues. I’ve been burned for being ‘unattractive’. But I’ve seen girls that are objectively more unattractive than me have mates. So it must be a confidence issue? Those girls seem to glow while I am so sad. Or it’s the guys I go on dates with?

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

How do you stop obsessing over a new romance?

In my 30s and have dated a lot. I've done casual flings, had a couple serious LTRs, been deeply in love, and had a lot of meaningless, purely physical hookups in my day.

Through all of these, my attachment style has always been secure as a fully realized person. I never needed someone to make me feel whole.

This new woman is completely intoxicating. She was clear: purely casual. It makes me want what I can't have, something more serious with her.
