Many of my (37M) recent first dates turn into therapy/counseling sessions, and I’m personally struggling with how to discern that ahead of time or manage situations, because there’s no sign of that leading up to the date. If it was a one-off, I could understand, but it’s genuinely the majority of these dates.
I’m not saying it’s wrong, or that it’s truly inappropriate, and I’m understanding that a lot of people were previously married/in long standing relationships before trying apps themselves, but is there a way to not set myself up for failure? Or is this just how it is in this age bracket/a byproduct of dating apps?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Edit: This isn’t intended to be a “holier than thou” post, because I’ve been the stinker on my share of dates. Appreciate everybody’s input thus far!!
