Lately I’ve been feeling like no guy likes me enough to want something serious with me. I feel like they just want to hit and leave but then I don’t do that either so I think I will be single forever 🥺

Same 🥺. I’ve stopped going on dates bc I’m so tired. Its an exhaustion I can’t explain. Kind off kicking myself that I should’ve actively dated in grad school but I was too busy studying and interviewing for jobs. 😭

Same, but with women, and I'm a guy 🥺

Also, anyone else think it's bizarre we make a judgement on whether or not you're compatible with a match after one awkward first date?

What do you ask to judge those?

I feel like everyone is looking for "a serious relationship" but in reality are looking for some immediate hot chemistry/spark on the first date vs. understanding that all relationships take effort to develop, grow, and sustain.

I’m dating this to help you and you might take it wrong, but from my experience of seeing other friends do this and say this, it’s you, but not the way you think. If this has been constantly happening to you, you’re going after the wrong guys. Most likely you subconsciously know it and you know they’ll end up doing the same thing which is why you continue to; you want that validation from them

smart

You’re just not attracted to the ones that want relationships

Sorry you feel this way! You’ll find a guy, stay strong, focus on yourself, and the guy will come

Same but with women and I’m a guy :(

Are you 30 by any chance?

Well in that case hold off on having sex for a while and get to know the guys. Build a connection. Weed out the men that just want to hit and leave.

What’s the longest relationship you’ve been in in the past 3-4 years? (COVID makes this hard) And also, what about the longest since you’ve begun dating and your age or age range?

Anyone in here have general anxiety disorder and/or agoraphobia?

I’ve come a long way with therapy and meds and I’m trying to convince myself that I can look for on-site EA roles but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared.

Maybe I’m biased due to having poor luck, but why is dating so hard? Everyone just wants the next best thing and no one is ever satisfied. One argument and people sprint for the door instead of reconciling as they have “options.”

People on dating apps seem like they’re only on there to validate themselves to feel better when they get “likes” or “swipes,” but will not respond when messaged.

I honestly don’t think true love is a real thing.
