34/f here and feeling very discouraged.
After my long term relationship ended when I was 29, I remember still getting multiple dates a week and having many people to talk to on apps. I haven’t had the best luck since, with only having 2 situationships to show for it, but I was still able to get a date every now and then.
However this time around over the past few months, I’ve noticed I’m barely able to even get a conversation going on Bumble/Hinge, let alone a date. Or if they do ask me out, they ghost as soon as I say yes. I can’t even get a FWB set up organised on Feeld in the meantime because men on there cant be bothered to even talk for a few messages.
I have noticed that my app success drastically improves when I’m visiting other countries though, so it very well may be down to a Sydney thing.
I’ve tried IRL but Sydney is a very cliquey city so it is very hard to meet people at bars and such.
It took a LOT of my courage to walk away from an on again, off again situationship last month and I feel like I don’t have a lot to show for it. They always say when you show the universe that you’re willing to walk away from something you deserve better than that you will be rewarded, but I’m lonelier than ever.
Has anyone found the same, or am I just unlucky in love as always?
