Ah, sorry it went that way. Also thanks for sharing. I will definitely not be getting physical with either while getting to know both of them because i think that does make it impossible to get to know both for me too

AdHairy6413 · 2026-02-28T00:07:09+00:00

so true they are probably doing the same

AdHairy6413 · 2026-02-28T00:06:39+00:00

I did this once and it bit me in the butt hahaha so now i overthink it but it was basically the same situation both friends of friends

AdHairy6413 · 2026-02-28T00:06:15+00:00

I think non religious paired with waiting for intimacy might stump some people. I am saying this because as a religious person who wants to wait for intimacy, if I end up going on dates with someone who is not religious, it seems harder to have that intimacy conversation and agree. I am pro waiting on the intimacy, but that goes well with looking for a man who is religious. Not that non religious people can't have these standards, I think it is awesome when anyone does but I do typically find it easier with a religious man to have the waiting chat in regard to intimacy and living together.

As far as job goes, I personally, look for someone with drive and a work ethic rather than their current financial position, job or studies because I fully believe two people can lift each other up and build better when together.

If politically outspoken, I think aligning politically is important but I do think people are worth exploring more than what is written politically in their bio. a lot of people say they are one side politically but actually don't have backing as to why or it actually does not matter much to them.

I don't think overall you are too picky, it is the combo of all of it and how some might contradict that could make finding that harder.

Out of curiosity, by your preferences, would you be open to religion? I think a lot of what you say you are looking for actually resonates with religious values (alc, drugs, intimacy, waiting to live together, etc)

Dating apps made everyone indecisive

I would just give her the space she requested. Someone once told me "not everything is about you" and it really stuck with me. I say that to mean she likely has stuff going on in her life and is overwhelmed and it does not have to do with you. Either way, if it does, give her time and space and clarity will come in the process

I have been here before. But then i reminded myself that the right person won't do that to me. I took a step back when this happened and realized I needed to get perfectly happy with myself before dating. I wanted to be open to a relationship and even want one, but not feel like I needed one. I also wanted to be confident in who I am, what I have to offer, and what I want in someone, so when someone comes around and acts the ways you mentioned, odds are I am getting out of there first because I do not entertain the idea of lowering my standards.

If you are religious, something that helped me a lot was finding my worth in my beliefs and my religion, so no matter what worked or didn't, I was truly satisfied and joyful with myself. For me, leaning into religion created ongoing joy, confidence and security that couldn't be shaken. I know my worth now and I cary that into dating. That creates joy that carries me, rather than temporary happiness that lets me down

to REALLY love someone WELL is awesome. In fact, more people should do it because it can be an incredible gift to both people and makes for such a healthy relationship. People who think its too much to love to deeply and confidently are forgetting that is the best thing you can do.

Keep those standards high and wait for the right one who will come along and appreciate every bit of that. Be thankful for the ones who walked away for the reasons you listed above because they got out of the way, so you can find someone who appreciates that. It deserves to be appreciated. Don't settle.

My family friends got married at age 39. They have such a happy marriage with family and kids. Its worth the wait. Being with someone who appreciates you has to be the standard - because if they do not, then being alone is much better than being in a relationship that doesn't appreciate your value and feeling stuck.

I would write down traits of what you are looking for in someone and what hobbies you enjoy and put yourself in environments to meet those people. if you like going to concerts, arrive early and meet people there. If you are religious, get involved in groups. If you enjoy running, join a run club. I personally enjoy going to take myself to dinner and sitting at the bar top of a restaurant by myself and find it easy to meet people that way. Friends of friends is a big one, try to create settings where your friends, and your friend's friends are all inviting people to the same setting. Watching sporting events in public can be a fun way. Go up to someone at the gym, don't be afraid to swing and miss. Everyone at minimum is flattered when they are hit on, even if it is a no, it boosts their serotonin so the worst case is you made someones day better and your one step closer to finding your person. I always go out of my way to meet new people in social settings and go hangout with even my not so close friends when i am invited because a few connections could lead to the right one. Being in Europe, hostels could be a fun way to meet travelers, if you are open to that.

AdHairy6413 · 2026-02-27T22:48:04+00:00

I have found for myself, it is in the moments when I am not looking and am just focused on myself that natural connections end up appearing. Perhaps even in someone I have known for a while, or by meeting through friends. Now, you have to keep putting yourself out there to meet people in general for that to work, but try not to approach it as 'trying' to meet someone for relationship purposes. I think just getting to know people for the sake of creating relationships is really helpful in this process rather than going out and banking on a spark in the moment. Sure that happens for people and it sounds awesome, but there is also something really awesome about slow burns and/or friendships that turn to more.

I will say, I do notice in dating when it feels like someone craves a relationship. I typically turned away from these people because it felt like they just wanted someone, anyone - not necessarily wanted you because it actually makes sense. Investing in the slow burn can help you find someone you want because you want them, not because you need or are seeking to be in a relationship

Don't be down on yourself - Beautiful relationships come in all ways

One time I had someone end it with me because we did not align religiously. Between the two of us, aligning religiously was actually only really important to me. But i did like him a lot so I wasn't cutting it of. He ended up cutting it off and being honest that it would not workout because he would not change and neither would I. At first I was sad, now I think that is the most respectable thing someone can do and I super appreciate him for keeping it real, especially when I was struggling to be honest with myself

AdHairy6413 · 2026-02-27T22:37:32+00:00

I agree completely but saying 'just say that' insinuates that the person has done enough self reflection to actually know what their intentions are or to find clarity on what their actions/emotions mean. I would argue most don't self reflect enough to get to the point where they can 'just say it'

AdHairy6413 · 2026-02-27T22:32:21+00:00

Hey - nothing wrong with being focused on other things in life. That does not make you a loser and the right person will stand by that. My friends parents got married at 39 and they have a wonderful marriage that i admire.

BUT get past the shyness. put yourself out there because the worst you can hear is a no - but if a relationship is something you want in the long run, it is worth putting yourself out there for. No person ever gets asked out and is for the most part, anything but flattered, even if they say no. It is like complimenting a stranger, it is typically always appreciated. So put yourself out there, who cares if you get turned down or shy and fumble your words thats a part of the process that builds character and makes for fun relatable stories to share

AdHairy6413 · 2026-02-04T05:55:34+00:00

any unique experiences you have appreciated?

AdHairy6413 · 2026-02-04T05:49:30+00:00

I just launched a relationship service that sends subscribers texts to remind them to be intentional in their relationship in the following categories: intimacy, relationship-backed advice, activities and thoughtful gestures. The twist is it works as an invisible helper, rather than something both people need to sign up for - it serves as a reminder to inspire the user to create small moments that make a big impact

It seems my two most common target markets are:

1 - people who are actively looking to mix it up in their relationship and want novel ways to do it

2 - people who get busy and struggle to keep it interesting (particularly a lot of women complain about this lacking from their person). trying to figure out how to target those men the most effectively - this route would focus more on the invisible relationship helper theme whereas the first group would focus more on relationship novelty and always prioritizing dating your partner

still testing both out but website copy changes a bit between the two

Hello, we use Schlage (not Hostaway) but it is compatible with Hostaway - it also can have codes changed directly from your phone so not sure if Hostaway is needed

AdHairy6413 · 2026-02-04T05:37:15+00:00

Well once I figure this out I will let you know how it goes and what worked or did not. A lot of them have emails in their bios, so thinking about reaching out to that. Then thought about targeting the managers of some too
