My mom shared with me she has been on a dating website talking to someone called Javier who claims to be a pilot living in Chicago. He is good looking and seems to be great except they haven’t spoken on the phone or done a video chat so I feel like he’s not real. What should I do? She is very unresponsive and gets angry if I bring up that I think he isn’t real.
For the past few years, I’ve been working with a couple friends to create a healthier online dating ecosystem. People have become increasingly disillusioned with picture-focused swipe-based dating apps; it feels like they don't really work anymore.
We reasoned that we could fix a lot about the bad dynamics of dating apps with a small fix: only show a user’s pictures after you’ve seen what they wrote. To make the text visually appealing, we came up with something called a tile, which is a card where you write 7 phrases about yourself and can customize the colors and fonts. Users can browse the tiles and click on the ones that seem interesting, revealing the full profile with pictures.
We're still growing the platform, so check it out and see what you think :)
Open to feedbak on my profile! I included some potential photos to switch any with at the end of the image thread.
I just don’t really get any likes unless I’m actively paying for a hinge subscription or have my mileage set to like 40 miles +.
Hello! I would like your opinion on what do these prompts transmit to you? I have ADD so it is extremely hard for me to choose prompts and, then, to know what to write in them so my personality is shown and it is also inviting for a potential partner.
I’ll appreciate your help with it! Input from women, please.
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
So far i haven’t had no luck in dating or finding a partner. Im 21 year of age , average looking, lean brown guy. My height is 6ft, i live in canada. My interests are philosophy, anime, soccer, sci fi movies and shows, gym and whatever you like. I have never been in a relationship before, i think the reason for that is i dont really go out much, my luck didn’t help me on the dating apps, so most of my social circle is just my homeboys but i would love to meet someone who is kind, have some common interests with me.
I never get to be with my partner all the time or see them face to face. I hate it so much. Then I get upset and bored that I'm not getting attention from them bc they're never around, so I "cheat" bc it doesn't feel like a real relationship anyway then they leave bc of my
"cheating". Maybe it's bc I don't have a car yet and am still living with family. But even at college in my dorm, it was an issue. So when I do get a car and graduate college soon, I need to start going outside and meeting people face to face so I can feel like I have a real connection with someone. Any other advice?
I was forced to install bumble by my friends and matched with people instantly. I wasn’t sure if this was a good idea, so, I deleted my account in a couple of days but did add a couple of guys on instagram since we spoke a bit. I am a very private person, I don’t usually add people this easily but I did because I thought I might just remove them later if we don’t talk.
Background about me: I am a 29F and I have been in long term relationships(3 to be specific) throughout my adulthood. I have mostly gotten involved with people I knew for a while, never tried dating off apps or putting myself out there for people to choose.
I am also an intriguing introvert to some extent, but once I am comfortable, you’d probably fall in love with me instantly. I have had many friendship breakups with guys because they fell in love with me. I am not saying I am amazing, but not an instant no either because I have a great personality.
My date’s background:
There is a guy that I talked on and off to, nothing solid for a week or two. We suddenly start speaking and he asked if I could meet him. I am pretty new to this, I haven’t gone out on dates with unknown people yet and I asked if we could talk first to be comfortable enough to meet. He agreed and we texted throughout the day and eventually spent 2-5 hours daily over call. We have a lot of similarities and I started bonding too because we were so comfortable discussing sensitive things.
He has dated a lot through apps in the past and also had been in 1 good adult relationship. He really wanted to meet me, and so did I, so I agreed but said that I might be awkward because this is my first time meeting someone off an app.
I was drowned in insecurities like what if he thinks I am not pretty/attractive, what if he’s noticing everything about me and thinking that this is not what he expected. He was wonderful, mind you he could understand that I wasn’t being me and tried calming me through the date. He joked, played games to ease me out of it, but I couldn’t stop my thoughts even when I was talking to him.
I was calmed whenever I was looking at him, but then it hit me that he might be judging me all over- physically more than anything since he knows me well otherwise after all the phone calls.
He asked if I’d be this anxious when we meet again or my best and I DO NOT KNOW, I feel embarrassed already. We have so many similarities and could be a good thing but I will need to calm the fuck down. How do I not compare myself to people he has dated before?
I do want to give it a real shot but I also think that he’s just being polite and didn’t actually find a spark. He said that he wants to meet me again because I am smart, attractive and he likes talking to me but he also mentioned that he expected us to connect more than we did on calls.
I am just confused and disappointed. This was my first time trying this and I don’t know what to do about it. There’s no guarantee if I’d be great when we meet next and with that kind of pressure, I most likely will not be. There was always this implicit pressure of making a good impression in the first place.
How do I deal with this? I do need help.
Hey if anyone on here would like to get to know me please say hello 😅
I’m from Australia 31 year old male, tattoos music art philosophy, the occult. Science. I’m all ears and would love to get to know you all.
Essentially I’m hoping to make some real connections, friends? Anything is fine this is actually my first post on reddit full stop so be kind please.
I’m a very outdoorsman when I’m not working, but in my spare time when I’m home I make music and try to learn new skills, the most recent being coding and software development.
I’m hoping to meet open minded people but also that are not time wasters or negative
Having to make this post 200+ was actually pretty difficult for me
Man I have a hard time with using dating apps in general but man no matter what I do I xant seem to get a match its been years and it sucks tbh. Im w5 btw if anyone has any advice on what I could do be much appreciated
It's been four years.YES!!! 4 YEARS.
Since i've had an actual decent date.
It's gotten to the point where I offer to pay for my own meal , just so there's no expectations after that.
Even trying to get a man to take me on a date is like pulling teeth.
I do consider myself a very attractive , beautiful young woman.
Very mature and independent.Therefore, I have high standards and do not just settle.I've never been married which probably says a lot because I don't tolerate a lot.
I am very loving and easygoing , easy to get along with.
However,
Nine out of ten men seem to not want to put in the work as in actually trying to get to know me , not taking the time to really get to know me.
Call me old-fashioned or vanilla.Whatever it is now in days that people use.
I have class!!
I am sophisticated, and I carry myself very well.I do not represent myself as most of these women, I see online here, where their legs are literally spread wide, open, asking for someone to come, give it to them.And they specific way!!
I'm completely shocked what this world has come to when it comes to dating.
And when I do receive pictures, the faces are all AI or their blotched out.What is the big secret here?What are these men hiding possibly?The fact that they're all married and they're sleeping around on their wives
This is absolutely devastating.
Four years is a long time to go without any type of human contact.
No compassion, no sympathy, no honesty.And no loyalty exists anymore
I will never degrade myself by putting myself on a specific community or sub that completely exposes myself and leaves me completely bare.
I might have to spend the rest of my life being completely alone because I refuse to lower myself , respect and boundaries for anybody , especially if no one is going to respect me , I have to respect myself first
Why does it seem there is a very particular type of person always trying to come over to your home immediately ? No date just your home. Or even if you clarify you want someone who also has their own place, they still only want to come over to the house? I refuse to have anyone casual over to my home and I find it hilarious how often men invite themselves to my house in casual conversation off of these apps. Doesn’t matter how I market myself, there is always this specific guy.
I want a sugar daddy any luck with finding real ones?
Idk why I even both trying dating in the modern age with women like this in my generation. These women are delusional. Anyways here’s some funny/ironic bios I’ve swiped apon this week.
There’s a discord community for dating app development discussion. If you’re a software developer willing to help or just someone that wants the old okcupid back (before Match Group acquisition), drop a comment and I’ll try to get you added to the group.
I’ve been using dating apps for a while, and I’m curious what frustrates people the most.
If you could fix only one thing, what would it be?
Endless swiping?
Ghosting?
Fake profiles?
Low-quality matches?
Something else?
Which year was the best year for online dating and online dating apps? Which app was the best during that year? and what led to the downfall since then?
Long story short I was married and w/ the same man for 15+ years and I’ve been single now going on 3 years.
I have tinder, hinge, bumble & I just downloaded WooPlus in hopes of finding my ‘type’. I’m STRUGGLING to find my type anywhere and I do want a relationship not a one night stand or a fling.
I have mentioned in all my bios that I am looking for a big & tall man. Always has been & always will be my type.
I don’t use Facebook or instagram so I don’t know what I’m doing or what I’m doing wrong…
Any tips on how to find my type of man?
Thanks in advance for reading & possible tips
