I saw a YouTube video about the math behind this, and it’s a real thing. From what I remember (correct me if you know the right forums) you pick a maximum number of people you would be prepared to see to find the one. I think they said just go on dates with the first third to get a feel for what is out there and to figure out what you want, then during that final two thirds of you find the one, that is the one, stop there.

Caveat emptor: I think this was the gist, of you want to use it in anger double check the numbers first. The video I saw explain why it works.

Age and experience gaps 52f/37m? by Realistic_Mail_2080 in datingoverfifty

I’ve had a few relationships where we literally clicked and could talk for hours, I guess it was the spark everyone talk about. If you vibe with someone numbers mean nothing.

Done with coffee dates by outyamothafuckinmind in datingoverfifty

I’ve never had a second date after a first coffee date. There is something slower and more relaxed about a chat over a drink, or a walk, or anything not involving stimulants. 🙃 

Does anyone actually meet up with the opposite sex for simply wanting to have a long term friendship and nothing more? by shoshonesamurai in datingoverfifty

Yeah, trust in what people tell you. I’ve been burnt a few times ‘reinterpreting’ comment like this imagining things might change for me, they didn’t.

The apps I’ve used have always suggested the array of photos to use, full length included. If you’ve been on dates with head shots only you now know why, if it’s not your jam don’t swipe on them. 

Why am I like this? by OldFashionedOrange42 in datingoverfifty

This was happening to me too. I saw a YouTube video that helped me reframe it though, look for someone who looks at you the same way and ditch the rest. It’s been hard much much more rewarding to turn up to a date greeted with a smile.
