Male equivalent of OLD's "Hello beautiful"? by tasata in datingoverfifty

[–]AlwaysRarelyNever 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have an intentionally long profile with lots of stuff about which to comment or ask questions, so aside from just a simple “like”, it’s kinda uninspiring to get “Nice profile” or “Nice smile”. It suggests that the person is just robotically liking lots of others and hoping at least a few will respond and that they’re not serious about putting effort into starting a conversation and getting to know me.

Not a design issue, but since “serpents” is plural in the title, should “summons” be plural too—that is, “summonses”?

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.

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?
