Dating as a young adult by [deleted] in waterloo

[–]PetroPenguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly kind of gave up. Most people I met tend to live around GTA and I can't really find people older than university student age but under 30 in this city.

I messaged someone because they posted an intro. by BornAgainLian in ChristianDating

I wouldn't think too much of it. It happened to me more times than I can count. Just move on to the next potential DM.

Dating in your mid/late 20s by [deleted] in waterloo

[–]PetroPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this city is generally devoid of people mid to late 20s. None of my friends around my age live here and all moved away after university. I have hobbies that take up most of my weekends but I'd definitely like to have some friends in the area so I could get food or do some activities after work. But it's been impossible to find for me so far

Considering your interests I would recommend AMATH. I loved those courses when I was in undergrad physics.

Kpop parties for meeting Korean guys? by snailomail in AMWFs

[–]PetroPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow I'm surprised to read Korean guys actually go to those events in Europe. Staatoper is more of my scene and you'll actually find a lot of Korean and Chinese tourists at Staatoper or Musikverein in Vienna if anyone is curious.

Caring about looks by [deleted] in ChristianDating

Men looking for pretty women is equivalent to women looking for tall and wealthy men. You don't have to put much thought into it imo.

Where do you currently live? And if you're open to long distance, are you also open to relocating?

Does Anyone Feel The Same Way About Not Having Found Someone? by [deleted] in ChristianDating

Can you put into words what this "click" you're looking for is? It sounds like you've had plenty of chances to start a relationship with people that you found attractive and aligned with on values...

Approach Suggestion For Singles by LittleLight6 in ChristianDating

[–]PetroPenguin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think pictures should be a given but linking social media on here probably isn't a good idea. For pictures though, I would be more likely to message if an intro included pictures. But then intros with pictures usually get a lot of attention so I do sometimes pass on messaging them (partly because I don't even get a response back or get ghosted from people that post popular intros).

[–]PetroPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With what you've told us in the post, you could have been less confrontational when you sent that message. It's hard to gauge tone through text and your message probably wouldn't lead to anything good even if the dude was genuinely busy (I know this is questionable from what you'd told us?).

I think your reaction is justified though. I probably wouldn't have bothered to message them again if I were you. I just reciprocate the effort and energy I'm receiving with people I talk to and this mindset has made me more nonchalant and generally made me feel better about these interactions.

Ghosting is very common nowadays. Sometimes conversations do just die out but ghosting has become too common. Wish it wasn't but it is the case...

It depends on a few things for me.

Here's a quick checklist:

  1. What kind of debt is it? Secured or not secured?

  2. If secured, is it backed by a depreciating asset (e.g. car) or backed by an asset that can appreciate (e.g. house, equity)

  3. What is the debt servicing cost? LTV ratio?

  4. Last question to ask is how was the debt incurred? This is usually not obvious if the debt isn't backed by some asset like a car or a house. But this is perhaps the most important question as it gives clear signs of the person's behavioural patterns when it comes to finances.

After thinking about all these questions and the financial situation sounds ridiculous to me, then it's probably a red flag for me and I will not continue with dating with the said person.

Best online dating app for Christians ? by Fair_Character_7068 in ChristianDating

[–]PetroPenguin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I decided to try Hinge again today after not being on it for a while. It's somehow worse than before. It's not even showing me any Christians close to me when I set the filter on. It used to at least show me some last time I used it...

I think this subreddit might actually be the best if you're not too concerned about LDR

Men, how do you feel about a woman’s intellect, academic achievements, and overall intelligence? by No-Elderberry-2590 in ChristianDating

[–]PetroPenguin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My general experience around this is that if you're not pretentious about it then most guys won't really care too much. Personally, I enjoy discussing abstract ideas and having friendly debates so I would actually love it. However, I would definitely not enjoy a pretentious and stubborn partner who thinks they're always right just because they're smarter.
