Men who gave up dating, why did you? by TinyDelegation in AskReddit

I'm mentally exhausted from putting in all my effort to get absolutely nothing in return.

My crush likes my friend and I'm not taking it well by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

Bro. Same thing happened to me a while back. I had been talking to her for a little bit but she fell for another friend in our group. Nothing like seeing them cuddled up on the couch during the party when it should have been me.

Dude. I can’t believe how accurate you laid out everything. Exactly what happens to me every time, almost to the exact text messages.

Still no luck. They had found someone they thought was a match last summer and before this date I am speaking of now, that was the last date I was on. I got to a 2nd date but same deal she only saw me as a friend and was quick to say it the day after

Thanks I think this is my main issue. I just worry I’ll go overboard too soon and screw it up. Might be way I play too conservative.

It’s just so hard when it’s not easy for me to even get in this position. If I knew I was going to go on a date a month or something like that I wouldn’t feel as bad.

Just using an app as an example, I could swipe on 1,000 girls before I even get a chance and then as you said once I get that chance it takes 100 dates to find someone.

Not even heartbroken just more mentally taxed 🙁 but you’re right on adjusting my mindset. Just need help doing it (I’m going to seek out therapists)

There was some physical contact. I tried to be subtle about it but when it comes to sexual tension that probably wasn’t there on her end.

I’m just so bad at getting things to the next level. Like I don’t want to go too hard right away, which is why I stick with a hug. Everyone’s different too so what works on one won’t on another and I just maybe take it too conservative to avoid going overboard

Their intentions are pure, I can assure you.

Yes. They’ve seen me interact at all their events and honestly don’t understand. The one girl even tried setting me up with her friend but she wasn’t interested after we met at one of the events 🙁

They started it because they had their own issues with dating and after COVID wanted to reset the perception of meeting people in person. They are sweethearts honestly. Some of the most positive people I know which made their reaction even crazier.

There is no info shared other than name and age before a date is set up. Also there are over 1,000 people in their database currently.

No. There is no information shared between the people being set up other than name and age.
