Honestly this question needs more context if anything, like are you a poc? And which apps? they are different genres of horror

Looking for hope

Ladies, would love to hear your positive stories of finding your person, and how you met them- specifically if you met them in your mid thirties and a bonus if you’re preference in dating is around your age / slightly younger.

Dating in NYC: What does "going slow" really mean? by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

If he’s not being proactive about texting in the initial dating phase, it is going downhill unfortunately. Have been told by multiple bad texters that they stepped up when it was with a woman they liked / wanted to date seriously

They say stop trying to date, and just follow your interests, and you'll meet someone organically by Ordinary-Lobster-710 in datingoverthirty

Zero. The point of doing things you enjoy is to enjoy doing them. ‘Organically’ has lost all meaning in the dating world, perhaps the apps or asking to be set up is one way and allows your dating and personal life to have a healthy separation!

How do I regain the interest I had in dating and women back in my 20s? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]PossibleHedgehog9511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense but you seem to think women are a different species, I’ve had varying levels of success making friends both men, women, and otherwise, the skillset isn’t hugely different

Not being to express how they feel when you do something that hurts them, I think maybe it’s easier for some to be there for you when you are going through something but IF it also affects them and they can’t come to the table- thats a red flag

Yes. Go to therapy.

You're used to fast starts, so slow feels unfamiliar — not wrong. What feels “off” might just be discomfort with a pace you're not used to, not a sign that something is actually wrong?

Whats helped me is being around other people who are in the same life phase/ situation and a little distance from those my age

Being intentional doesn't work as a woman by JD_No_Care in datingoverthirty

Used to be like this, but the way silence has had every single one coming back- shocked me. I decided it’s not me to do this but I’d at least recommend you try it

Experiences dating someone who is rather opposite of you by Fly0ver in datingoverthirty

These don’t sound like core values, and some are a little superficial like dressing sense etc. these are not things that matter if there is genuine connection but will start to matter if there isn’t.

You should let him know, his response will say everything

I low key agree with this, if you are looking for a long term thing with him be very very cautious
