Is everyone looking to get married?
I recently moved to NYC (10months) and have found that every man I start dating is looking for something very serious. I'm open from the start that I am not after marriage or monogamy right now and some of them try it my way but ultimately I have to end it because I know I'm not what they're looking for.
I'm shocked. This is NY! I expected people to be more loose and carefree. Does anyone else feel this way or am I just attracting husband-material?

Are you sure they are not just lying to you? We all know why a lot of men will say this…

Lol men lie?!?! Who knew?!?! 😳

Date older men

Already am. They want kids.

That has not been my experience dating men in NYC. How long are you trying to date people and not be monogamous and how soon are you having these convos? I think situationships generally run their course after a few months because one party will want something more/different.

M here and I often hear this from many women. But I also hear the Opposite. Who knows

Right? I hear so many women in other places complain about men never wanting anything serious and here I am drowning in it.

M here marriage is the goal. I think there is many flavors when it comes to guys. I’ve encountered women who want the same but the chemistry is not there.

Wait you m or f

I’m down for some fun 😀♥️

I think there’s plenty of folks out there on both sides of that coin and you can definitely find what you’re looking for. Nothing wrong with attracting husband material (take it as a compliment!) but also lots of men out there looking for the same things you are. Where’d you move from?

I find dating apps to be unhealthy to an extent. If a minor inconvenience occurs, it's simple to move on to the next one and the cycle repeats. Have any of you met "the one" through a dating app?

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.

Like I’ve been on a few and it’s been just talking but I guess I have no clue what to do after. I’m probably just rambling at this point but basically I need advice on actual dates and how to feel it out and what to do. Ty
