  1. I just matched with maybe the third man who had something on his profile about “finding someone who actually replies to messages” and once again…he stopped replying after like 3 messages. Sir, the call is coming from inside the house.

  2. Torn on what I should do. A while back I commented that I was going to put myself back on Hinge and put myself out there. But the more and more I read the more hesitant I am. So many people are just saying how bad it’s gotten over the last few years. I was recently considering posting on R4R, being open minded on LDR when I’m normally not big on it. I just figured it’d give me a much wider net in finding someone who meshes well with me. But then I get cold feet. I’m just not sure what I should do. I know what I want, I’m just unsure how to go about it at this point.

  3. Any successful speed daters have any tips or advice? I’ve been to many and have only had a few dates that went no where.

    Do the questions you ask actually matter or is it more like “if the girl’s attracted it doesn’t matter”?

    I’ve been to enough where I don’t get nervous or anything, but the small talk questions always seem so uninteresting

    I know the odds are stacked against men at these kinds of things but it’s better than sitting alone at home

  4. Went on a date a few days ago with a guy I actually liked. We matched on hinge, conversation was easy, he actually took initiative and asked me out to do something based on our conversation. Date was super fun, we met up around 8:30 and kept talking and hanging out to past midnight. Texted immediately that he thought I was gorgeous and really enjoyed my company. I said the same thing that I had lots of fun and a good time. The next morning he asked if I’d like to continue getting to know each other. I said yes I’d like to get to know you more. And that’s it, no response. Honestly no idea what went wrong or what the issue is. I’m just dejected, this seems to happen so often. It’s so hard to keep upbeat and excited about dating when no one seems to want to actually date me

  5. Making plans to meet a guy but he is flirting hard and somewhat future-faking (e.g. talking about trips we can take together in future) even before meeting me, and it’s making me feel rather wary. Why would a grown adult do this right off the bat? Am I just a prude?
