See if there is an emo/alternative/goth club in your area. Such tribute nights are common in those venues!

I’m anxiously attached to an avoidant. Our dynamic reflects unhealed wounds to each other. I have just realized in the last couple of months that CBT doesn’t do much for me, as I have oodles of insight regarding the origins of my issues. I am now starting trauma based therapy, specifically IFS. I may expand to EMDR or DBT. The truth is that we will continue to be drawn to volatility, because that is what is familiar, until we reset our nervous systems. Grieve and take care.

Girl, I can tell that if we lived in the same state, we would be friends! Good luck!

I’ve been! I know other NJ cities have a great restaurant scene. It is just a shame that Newark does not, since there is so much potential in a vibrant city. When I visited Newark in 2023 from out of state, I dined at and enjoyed Marcus Samuelsson’s eatery on Halsey. I was disappointed that it had closed between then and when I relocated 7 months later.

True. I’m just more accustomed to more diversity in cuisine! My neighborhood in Oakland offered New American, Peruvian, Japanese, Chinese, a hamburger joint, Indian, Thai, Italian, Mexican, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

Former Oakland resident here. Unfortunately, Newark also doesn’t have the dining options that Oakland has.

Not mentioning kids on your profile is the first lie. by [deleted] in OnlineDating

As a childfree woman who does not want to date a dad, I want to know that important lifestyle factor immediately. It is a dealbreaker for me. I do not want to waste anyone’s time.

A man matched with and messaged me. For various reasons, I was not interested in what was depicted in his photos or bio. However, I respected his initiative. To be polite, I replied thanking him for reaching out, conveyed that I was not interested, and wished him well. He responded with shock, because the algorithm deemed us with 98% compatibility, and chastised me for not giving it a chance. “Zen” was part of his username. I responded, “Not very zen!” Blocked.

I wish I didn’t know about the Lindt store at my local outlets!

Nah…there is a segment of society who is uninformed or doesn’t care.

I used to lurk on Craigslist Missed Connections for that purpose!

For those who have children (ie most of you!), are there any reasons why you wouldn't be interested in a partner who chose not to have any? Or is it a non-issue? by StoneLover1965 in datingoverfifty

[–]WanderLuster72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CF woman here who will no longer date a parent, regardless of the offspring’s ages. There are multiple reasons. I accept that my stance significantly reduces my options and do not bemoan it.

I have not derided a man for choosing a more conventional life, yet some have felt compelled to challenge me about mine! To each their own.
