In my opinion one of the worse things you could hear from someone when you are dating is ‘I usually don’t talk to someone like you’. It makes it seem like you are just settling for that person.

Not necessarily.

Definitely not necessarily. This could simply mean they are impressed by the person, or pleasantly surprised. I interpret this in a positive light

Depends on if it was meant in a positive or negative way. If it’s negative then yes they may just be settling

I know right! What does that even mean? I find this very rude and offensive!

Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.
