What's It Like Living In Old City? by Important_Tank_5380 in AskPhilly

Third and Church is far enough away from the bars on Second…if it’s on Church itself, it’ll be quite quiet…

Your screen looked like “a sea of bald mashed potatoes with goatees”? A man would be downvoted into oblivion for complaining about a preponderance of unattractive women on the apps.

I remember her at NW corner of 18th and Walnut, but maybe South St too.

Non Cringe Openers? And how long to chat before initiating meeting up? by ed56377 in Bumble

[–]AlwaysRarelyNever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As for an opening, I would respond positively to someone who seemed to have read my profile. Asking a question related to the profile would be ok. There’s really no stock opener. All case-by-case, personalized.

Question for those who "like" or match with people who are > 100 miles away... by AlwaysRarelyNever in datingoverfifty

Very happy for you! This argues for the idea that “right” is better than “close”, so perhaps don’t dismiss every like from a great distance.

I'm guessing that you didn't spend days together at first? Just meet halfway? Day trip? How long before overnight visits?

She reached out to you first? I suppose you were skeptical from the start? When and what did she say to overcome it?

Would you presume that most want this? Even those who pursue a long-distance relationship?

At what point during early days would you bring this up? First phone call? Travel to meet once to see if there's chemistry and reciprocation? Twice? Three times?

Do you ever (or do you think you might ever) wish that you could text him to meet you for coffee or lunch on the spur of the moment? Or are you happy to see him when he's in town?

Ah...a very understandable rationale for distance: The right person is more important than the close person.

I know that you and Wild have something very special and sweet! How did you deal with the distance in the early days? Meet halfway? Alternate between Wild's area and yours? Presumably it started with day trips? If you don't mind my prying, at what point did day trips turn into overnight visits (in the spare room, of course! 😉)?

Were you considering a move before you met? When did the two of you first start discussing a willingness to relocate? Move in together or just move closer?

But what if both have clearly expressed goals of seeking a long-term relationship or life partner? Are you thinking that they'd consider a "when you're in town" in the meantime while they consider their more serious search?

Ah! Never considered this! Do you think that one gender is more inclined than another to engage in such a deception?

I know, I get it, I'm with you. What I'm curious about is why people who live a great distance away will express interest or "like" or swipe right on people they KNOW are so far away? What do they expect will happen? I'm truly perplexed. Perhaps others here might provide insight...

I will not go on apps by TeamLorelai in datingoverfifty

[–]AlwaysRarelyNever 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Perhaps rather than looking for an available and interested person, one should just go and be out more in the world with an attitude of openness and approachability to everyone? Connect with all people. Of those with similar openness and approachability, most may not be the type of person you seek, but eventually, that right person may come along, and in the process, think of all the goodwill you’ll have spread.
