not into serious relations anymore
Honestly, I need to vent a bit. Dating here lately feels like an endless cycle of high expectations, performative small talk, and awkward coffee dates that feel more like job interviews than real connections. You invest time and effort only to realize neither of you is on the same page.
im a white male and at 28, I’ve honestly hit a wall with the serious relationship auditions for now. Sometimes you just crave simple, upfront, low-stakes human connection—meeting up for a drink or coffee, seeing if there's actual physical attraction, and just enjoying making out and having a good time without overcomplicating things or pretending we're planning a wedding.
Anyone else feeling completely burned out by the local dating scene and wishing people were more chill and direct about casual intimacy? DMs are open if you relate.
