IMO, girls on online dating apps are confusing. I match with a few (I “like” them, and they “like” me). we talk in app, but the conversation always seem one-sided, with me doing 99.9% of talking/asking. They gave me their numbers... and I thought they have more interest to talk further, but no. These mixed messages are driving me crazy.

Plausible explanation is: OP is talking to girls perceiving themselves to be “outside his league” and vice versa for AA1. The mutual likes may be due to blind right-swipes by the person on the other side of the screen. Unfortunately, this is a numbers game. Maybe don’t over-invest your time until the other party show more interest? this may mitigate unnecessary disappointment.

It’s because they’re likely talking to several other guys. When you’re just one of many options, the conversation won’t be as personal or interesting. Does online dating cause more harm than good? Who knows

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
