Is anyone else having a hard time getting to a first date in the apps? Like I get matches and then people don’t bother to reply or carry a convo so it’s a false start.

Tell me about it. So many times I get matched and the other person just doesn't know how to hold a conversation. Like ask me something. Tell me something about yourself. It's not that hard.

Ok this helps to hear so I know it’s not just me

All the time. If you don't match my effort and energy, I take it as a lack of interest and quickly move on.

Same…I’ve gotten more dates off Grinder than tinder or hinge. What apps are you guys using?

I’ve had luck just following random guys i think are hot on instagram and just start messaging them and feigning interest in their posts. Meeting one of them this week.

No - private AF.

If you really want a date, go to a bar. People need to get out more.

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

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.
