So many people live in NYC but still it feels like the loneliness place on the planet. Does anybody have positive stories from dating apps? How do you guys meet ppl in general?

Tough right now. I will only meet guys if we go to an outside bar but that will end in a few weeks once the weather gets worse. Dating in ny was special before covid and now it's even more complicated.

Is hinge the best one in your opinion? Been playing around with a few others

Don't love any of them, but hinge seems to be the popular one at the moment. What's your experience like?

Well, nothing positive. A lot scam there. It is just to hard a person you could bond in anyway. A lot of people pretend to be someone else or just the way they are in the reality. Also, it is hard to really get a sense of the person on another side of the chat because of lack of non-verbal communication. Based on my experience the best way to meet somebody is to do some common activity like go hiking or volunteer in a group of strangers. But, it is not easy in this time of the year.

Yes, I hear that. Luckily I haven't had scams. Volunteering is a good idea though. I need to do more of it. Who knows maybe I meet someone cool. Hmmm 😀

Hi, all. I'd love some advice from professional 🐠. I found out my date, who I've dated for 1.5 years with, is addicted to seeking new guys and random hookups on gay apps, almost 24/7. He said that love and sex are different for him. Can I expect him to stop the addiction and love me monogamously?

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

Looking for a suggestion for a date spot that would be convenient and a good halfway meeting point: i’m in Murray Hill and my date is coming from Astoria. I usually have my dates meet me here when they live in Manhattan but I think somewhere halfway would be more fair in this case. Ideas?

I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?

FML. I’ve been dating someone for 8 months and have been having doubts about the longevity of the relationship. This week he tells me he is thinking about leaving our city and working remotely. Even though I was already thinking about ending it, this hurts. I know I’m being childish - being rejected by someone who I was planning to reject! And I know he isn’t the right guy for me in the long term. So why does this hurt?! 😭😭😭

Does anyone know of a good dating app? I have tried using Hinge, which I thought is designed for people to date and not to hook-up. However, everyone I chatted with is asking for pics like they would on Grindr…is that just our culture?

31M here. Met a girl last week, 31F, and we hit it off instantly. We have so much in common and everything feels right, tomorrow will be our 3rd date. She slept over last night, no sex, but we made out all night. I haven’t felt like this for anyone in a while and it feels amazing, but I’m scared to commit. I have this fear of getting hurt or putting in effort only for it not to last.
