Recently I came across these subreddits and I always like the idea of random conversations and interactions!

I'm a 30 year old white man from South Africa, hence the similar time zones request. Yes I so have the accent, yes I do like rugby. But I'm also a avid football fan!

I'm not sure who or what I'd like to talk about. But for some context. I enjoy photography, gaming, being creative, gardening and herbs etc.

I love cooking up a good meal for those I care about and if they're there while I cook even better! The best conversations take place in the kitchen.

Who I don't want to talk to. Other men that seem to think it's appropriate to just send inappropriate messages. That's about it! Hahaha, so send me a little blurb about you and let's have a conversation! This could be a short or long term ship, not really specific just keen on meeting some new peeps!

I've been trying my absolute best for the better part of two years to meet someone and in general I can't complain.

But a recent experience just tipped me over the edge. Me M30 and a girl F26 matched on Hinge last night and we had a genuinely great conversation, like probably one of the best I've had on the app over these two years, clicked on most if not every level. I cannot state how well I think this conversation went, I proposed an unorthodox date as I'm flying back to the city I stay in in a few days and suggested we go on a date when I get back, today I come back to the app excited to see if she had responded and I was really hoping to see her soon. Just to see that she had unmatched. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I'm just so sick of not even getting to know someone, it's all just superficial conversations and although everyone says they want to meet THEIR PERSON. No one ever even allows that to be a possibility.

Idk. I'm just so over it at this point.
