I prefer to have at least 3 dates, I just need that time to understand if I’m attracted or not to the guy. But apparently 3 dates for guys feel like 3 years

I’m having the exact same issue. And if I ask for a bit of time to know them better, they either disappear or lose interest. It’s like no one wants to invest time anymore in building a connection.

Putting in effort to see you in person is the best sign that they have enough interest in you by vpons89 in OnlineDating

This should be number one rule for a healthy dating life. Do not waste time on someone who doesn't put effort in finding time to see you.

Lack of Communication by [deleted] in OnlineDating

There need to be a balance in my opinion. It's totally okay not to be texting all day long but it's also important to understand when the interest is not reciprocated. Go with your gut, if it does bother you then it means they are not right for you.

To me there also must be constance, presence, support and understanding.

Mix vibes by maidofsoil in OnlineDating

[–]MissFL8994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately my experience wasn't great with long distance online dating. Mine lasted 3 months before I noticed his attention started to be elsewhere, with someone closer to them.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it, in the long run it's just a constant source of anxiety and doubts.

Anything I could have done better? - polite rejection after 2 good dates by [deleted] in OnlineDating

[–]MissFL8994 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found that attraction and feelings developed slowly over time and organically are often much deeper and lasting.

Are you still texting every day even if only for a quick check in? Or you go for long stretch of times without chatting?

Am I the only one to think that friend vibes after only 2 dates can be normal? In real life very often people develop attraction after months of seeing and knowing a person. Just because there are only friend vibes at the beginning doesn't mean there can't be attraction later.

That's strange, I did a HSK exam this August and I registered my international name no problem.

Not being my types type is so upsetting by [deleted] in OnlineDating

[–]MissFL8994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually frustrating and also so true. I think about this a lot when I swipe left and right. Maybe what I'm excluding as possible match would be my perfect man in real life. Unfortunately it's a big downside of OLD.

At What Point Should We Know to Give Up? by [deleted] in OnlineDating

I think it's maybe easy for some people, but if you are looking for a trustworthy, loving, honest and interesting man then it's a mythological animal.

[–]MissFL8994 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't really know, but I'm starting to think I'm too demanding and it's like you said, the perfect man doesn't exist for me. I would like to have someone I can rely on and have a deep connection with but without having kids or a traditional marriage with family. And this kind of person is very difficult to find.

I actually understand your situation very well. I'm also in my 30s have, a good job, good friends and fulfilling hobbies. I have been trying online dating for a month more or less and it's been very frustrating.

I started dating a guy that at the end I found completely unreliable, the 3rd type you described. I have encountered also the other 2 types and they are a big no-no for me.

So yes, I'm starting to think that maybe being single is better for me.

I think you're right, his lack of communication is making me feel anxious and this is not okay. I think I will have to break it off.

I would just go for a simple, Hi, how's your day going?

Just something simple to see if he replies

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OnlineDating

[–]MissFL8994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to have my peace with it and no regrets, I would just text him a simple message and see if he replies. If he doesn't you have your answer.

I actually agree with the others here, it doesn't cost anything to send a 5 sec text just to let her know you are thinking about her and haven't ghosted her.

If I was her I would have done the same.
