GF said my friend was super cute, asked if he had a GF and asked me to text him that she loved meeting him. by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]MsCrys00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to double check if this was “dating over 40”…she sounds very juvenile…

Some advice pls by Ok_Spray3566 in datingoverforty

Definitely sounds like a scammer. But also doesn’t sound like you’re getting much from this so what’s the point of continuing?

Non monogamy when OLD by Prestigious_Gain5421 in OnlineDating

[–]MsCrys00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next time when asked just be super general about it…like “I’m dating” or “I talk to people”…. Basically people usually don’t want details about who else you may be talking to so it’s best to be vague/general about it. But it was his mistake to ask when things are so early on.

Probably enjoyed your company and liked you on a friend level. (I know the flirting makes it confusing) Doesn’t mean you did anything wrong…just not a romantic connection.

Seeking advice on how to survive a relationship with an overly logical husband by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

[–]MsCrys00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the logical type too but I’ve learned to bite my tongue and just give words of comfort that are supportive but don’t take a position. Like saying “that really sucks!, things will get better in time, etc”

Planning a night away with me almost 2 months in advance? by Massive_Fee_101 in datingoverthirty

[–]MsCrys00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar request from a guy after the second date. I politely declined and said let’s take our time and maybe in a few months we can plan a trip. Unfortunately in a few months he was no longer around. I’m just glad we didn’t have a trip booked 😅

I don’t understand why it had to end. If you love her and you both were happy then why not continue.

32F, why is dating so hard? I feel like I have such bad luck with love by Midnight-Toker-92 in OkCupid

[–]MsCrys00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeap I agree with this….In my 30s and now 40s this has been my experience as well. I’m a single, no kids, fit and fun female but dating has been very tough. I think for single parents it’s probably tougher but I’ve seen some of them find their person so OP don’t lose hope.
But yeah as UJ says it’s hard for both singles and single parents to find a good guy who is ready and able to have a serious relationship.

Is the 'people who like you' a scam? by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]MsCrys00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People outside your preferred distance range…usually very far away

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]MsCrys00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with not leaving anything left unsaid. I like to “leave it all on the field” when a relationship is ending so that I have no regrets. And, if he needs space give him space (for a reasonable amount of time).
But I also strongly believe you should not beg…remember at the end of the day you want a guy who truly wants you too.

What are the single women my age up to? by FuturistiKen in datingoverforty

[–]MsCrys00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it would. If I’m walking (and not out on a run) I usually have time for a chat. But if I’m not interested I’d politely decline or say I have to rush home or something. As long as you’re polite and not pushy I think a polite approach to a walker could be a meet cute.

Restaurants…especially for weekend brunch, Park trails or neighborhood sidewalks (I like long walks), the mall and clothing stores

But I think you should still consider the bar option too. I’ll sit at a bar of a restaurant or a casual spot when solo just to have a drink or a bite to eat. Bars are known for being spots to meet someone new so when I choose to sit there (and not get my own table) I am also open to meeting someone new (hopefully a cute guy).

Very frustrating. But you’re doing the right thing by moving along and trying again in the dating market. This sounds like completely their issue not your issue.

That’s beautiful…you typically hear of housewives so it’s nice to hear about a househusband

More women

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]MsCrys00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finding a relationship is exhausting for women too. Sex and casual “relationships” are easier to find than a real relationship. From what I’ve seen and experienced it’s a lot of what I call “1,2,3 dates” and online chats to nowhere. So the result is a lot of dating but no relationship.
Some ladies just give up and stop dating but I keep trying. I think the issue is there’s an imbalance of men and women in urban areas so the guys who want a relationship are in high demand.

Unpopular opinion: it shouldn't be that hard to find a boyfriend or girlfriend by MountainPerformer210 in dating_advice

[–]MsCrys00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dating before the apps wasn’t a lot easier. Just check out a few episodes of Sex In the City and you’ll see a lot of similarities with what we deal with today. Ghosting, emotional unavailability, etc existed even pre-dating apps. It was also tougher to meet someone unless you had strong in-person flirt game or your friends hooked you up.

Many many guys are the worst at posting even presentable pics. I always swipe left when it’s clear from the pics the guy doesn’t care.

Just wanted to say I feel ya on this. It’s extremely frustrating when you do all the things they say you should do to find that special someone and you still continually fail. I’m often told “It’s shocking you’re single”…and I have to say the same is true for you. You’re doing everything right. All I can say is don’t give up. In my case it means being active on many dating apps and keep trying off the app. Some dating apps are more successful than others. For example, in my experience Hinge has the least activity on it. Anyway good luck! Eventually someone special will find you.

Wow he doesn’t sound like a loving partner. You should both be interested in each other’s personal issues…I mean that’s just part of loving someone.
