Hi all I m29 have been on a dating journey since I was about 24, it has been my goal to find my person which we all know is easier said than done. I have had around 6 or so relationships in that time some short some a bit longer, I have found most of these relationships from hinge. I have probably been on close to two hundred first dates by now and so as you can imagine I have for the most part figured things out pretty well. Well as of recently I keep getting the answer “I don’t feel a connection” or something similar after the first date. Idk about you but I don’t really expect to feel an immediate connection with a person I just met in person for the first time and only spent two hours with. For these dates I prefer to go for a sweet treat and a walk it’s simple easy and low cost and not too intense. I will say now that I’m 29 I think my radar for red flags is a bit more accurate or active then it used to be given that I have dated some people in the past that where definitely red flags so I kinda know what to look out for but even with that said I am generally very easy going. But even then that last like six first dates I keep getting I don’t feel a connection or something similar. Me and my friends can not for the life of us figure out why maybe it’s something I’m doing or maybe it’s bad luck I definitely don’t have issues looks wise I get plenty of likes on the app and attention in person I’m tall and well dressed. My job title sounds important but it doesn’t actually pay that well something I’m working on (neurodivergent people will understand the struggle) I do have a really nice apartment I share with a roommate and a car I graduated from therapy but still go from time to time. So I’m not really sure what gives at this point
