Why is online dating so blah?

Because in the old days you would meet people through school, work, friends, group activities, events, etc. so the pool of options was more people with similar interests or educations or personalities. With online dating you have to sift through the entire pool of options to find one of the few people you might really click with. Coupled with people thinking of everyone as disposable because of the many alternative options available to them (at least in their mind).

Agreed. Kind of messed up when you think about it that way lol

Your standards are too high, perhaps aim low.

How do you figure?

It’s a platform where you are judged within the first 2-3 messages, and if you aren’t interesting at that point it’s already over. Much different than flirting in person where you are able to judge their reactions instead of waiting in suspense lol

I don’t know the great majority of the women I met were really cool. Didn’t go to relationship because we were not aligned on some things but the dates ami had were great!

What did you expect?

Because it’s online?

Because you’re engaging too early on in the conversion funnel. Time to learn python.

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?
