Dating completely virtually has been tough for me. I’ll have a couple of great phone calls then FaceTime conversations, but then the relationship gets stale and we just stop talking to one another. I definitely need to see the person I’m talking to in real life to determine if there’s a real love connection.

Yeah! Our first date was over FT. Saved a trip, time, and energy. We talked for an hour and then decided to meet in person for 2nd date for coffee. And now I feel super comfortable FT’ing together during the weekdays or just to chat.

^^ same experience and have been FT since (although I can’t keep doing an hr every night 😅) but honestly gonna be my approach moving forward to always FT before meeting saves a lot of time/energy. I wouldn’t consider these a date tho, and bc we had a chat already I sorta expect more effort in the 1st actual date so again just helps quickly weed out whose serious/casual/fwb.

I know apps like Hinge have video call/phone call options so if you don’t want to share your number yet you can go completely thru the app.

Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

Whenever I give my mum updates on my life be it career or when my husband engaged she always has a variation of one question “ Does your job make you happy?” “Does he make you happy?” I am an immigrant from Africa and this always surprises me as I am always prepared to answer 1000 hot seat type questions. I hope to one day take a similar approach when I have adult kids.

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week. I texted her today to ask if she was still interested in doing something this week and she said she was super busy with a huge project and apologized. But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲
