The Dating thread

[Ceannairceach]

Heh, objectively, I was probably a lot more like Girl B is in my own case.

Sans crying at a convenience store, I hope?

Oh, yeah. Just the general theme of being the angle that really wasn't meant to be, with the added drama of it seeming like it was for a while.

Persuasion check failed.

Nevermind. I'm not particularly sad, tbh.

well you get hugs anyway..

Thanks, Gleeville. Hope you're feeling dandy right now too. =)

So you were led on, basically? I feel for you, friend. =(

I'm so sorry to hear....I am currently broke or I would try and assist.

[Ceannairceach]

So you were led on, basically? I feel for you, friend. =(

More like I led myself on. It really was my own fault. A word of advice is to never go after someone who has feelings for or is in a relationship with someone else, no matter how justified you think it is. Never works out right.

That's tough. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the next one'll turn out better for you. Certainly sounds like the kind of thing that'll have you walking away a wiser man though.

[Katyuscha]

I've only ever been in one relationship and it was platonic and completely one sided.

Doesn't tend to produce happy thoughts.

They what in my where?

[Arkinesia]

Eh, let's just say I haven't had the greatest of lucks.

I read that as "fucks".

I did too.

I've been on dates but I've never gone steady with anyone.

Also I'm 23. But I'm finding that's not as rare as I initially thought it was. Not sure what that says about my generation. I'm basically in this pattern of wanting to date someone —> realizing most of the candidates at my school have bizarre beliefs that disqualify them from being bearable as friends —> not wanting to date someone until after college —> rinse, wash, repeat.

So it looks like if I want to even date someone before graduation I should just go hit an online dating site. Seeing as bar-hopping is pretty much out of the question.

You won't find 90% of them attractive on those sites.

And the ones you do find attractive know already they have TONS of opportunities, so, don't go in with the expectation to find your significant other unless it's for casual sex and you have a decent size bearing going on.

That's more or less what keeps me from even bothering. I'm pretty certain I make for interesting conversation but I don't figure I have much to hook in terms of first (physical) impressions.

Aka friendzoned.

And that, my friends, is true love.

Bruno Jupiter.....how the hell should I know?

[The Rich Port]

Shit, sign me up for that.

You say that now...

I've been saying it since I left high school.

It's better than NOTHING.

It was slightly more than that.

So many first dates. No second/follow-ups.

Depends on male vs female, what website you use, etc.

Generally speaking, if you're a guy under the age of 25, you're going to have a harder time finding someone interested in a LTR who isn't crazy, because most girls aren't looking to settle down until they start looking for guys over 25.

If you're a gal over the age of 30, you're going to struggle disproportionately to find someone interested in a LTR who isn't crazy, because a lot of guys have stopped looking, and you're competing with younger women for the rest of them.

Basic reason for that is that we have a social norm that more or less excludes older female / younger male couples, so if you're a young man or an old woman, dating life is pretty rough. There are plenty of exceptions, and my most constructive piece of advice is to join a club where there are plenty of men and women who share common interests. E.g., my college fencing club resulted in an exceptionally large number of marriages.

Online dating can actually work out. How easy it is depends on your gender, how good your photographs are, etc. I've known a number of people to get married to someone they met on OKC. Generally speaking, for someone your age, I am of the opinion that women have it a lot easier than men when it comes to online dating, but it's not an easy button even for women.
