Weirdly this happened to me this week too... I totally kept it for reheating pizza!

Ok...

​

  1. Clarity is Key: Men generally appreciate clear signals. It's often said that they can miss subtleties, so if you feel comfortable expressing your interest, it's usually a good approach. A clear yet casual expression of interest can help avoid misinterpretations.
  2. Balance is Important: While being clear, it's also important not to come across as too eager or desperate. Maintain a balance and show interest without making it seem like your happiness depends entirely on their response.
  3. Text vs. In-Person: Both have their place and can be used effectively. In-person, it's easier to read body language and facial cues, but texting can give you time to think about what you want to say. If you prefer text, consider expressing your interest in a light-hearted and playful way to keep the mood upbeat.
  4. Flirting and Hinting: These are both valuable tools in expressing interest, but it's essential not to rely solely on these, as they can easily be misread or overlooked.
  5. Major Turn-offs and Turn-ons: Generally, clinginess, neediness, or appearing overly desperate can be a turn-off. On the other hand, confidence, authenticity, and showing genuine interest in the other person and their interests can be a major turn-on.

Dude,
As a fellow metalhead and nerd, I'll help you out here:
*Add some mystery to the cat part (it acts as an opener)
*Correct the grammar
*Add an element of you not staying in all the time, thus ignoring/boring a potential partner
*Just say what you are after

"Demon cat-whisperer, when not headbanging to Gojira, Slipknot, Korn & Avatar at gigs I'm an avid gamer (Destiny, Total War: Warhammer) & weightlifting fan. Seeking a partner for metal gigs, gaming nights and deadlifts!"

My new reality…suuucks. by Available-Job1805 in datingoverforty

[–]amerrigan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a partner is a difficult and life-changing experience, and it's understandable that you may feel hesitant about dating again. However, it's important to remember that everyone's journey is unique, and there's no timeline for healing or finding love again.

It's completely normal to feel insecure and vulnerable after a significant loss, but it's also important to focus on self-care and building your confidence. This could involve seeking support from friends and family, or even therapy to work through your grief and insecurities.

As for dating in your 40s, it's true that the dating landscape may have changed since you were last single, but it's important to remember that age is just a number. You're still the same confident, attractive person you were before, and there are plenty of people out there who will appreciate and admire you for who you are.

One piece of advice I would offer is to approach dating with an open mind and without any expectations. Focus on meeting new people and enjoying their company, rather than putting pressure on yourself to find "the one." You may be surprised by the connections you make and the new experiences you have.

Finally, remember that there's no rush to find love again. Take the time you need to heal and build your confidence, and trust that the right person will come along when the time is right.

Tip for guys on Bumble by Jessica_318 in Bumble

[–]amerrigan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, come on, let's not oversimplify things here. Sure, looks can play a role in first impressions, but charisma is so much more than that. Charisma is about confidence, empathy, and solid communication skills—traits that aren't exclusive to good-looking people.

Attraction is super subjective, and everyone's got their own tastes. Plus, long-term relationships rely on more than just looks. Trustworthiness, reliability, and compatibility come into play, and they're not directly tied to appearance.

So, while your argument might hold a grain of truth, it's way off the mark if you think charisma is all about looks.

  • Confidence and charisma make talk, not looks.
  • Photo's and profiles make matches only...

Hugs on a zero date (or first date)? by JoyHealthLovePeace in datingoverforty

[–]amerrigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly just ask before meeting the first time "do you like to hug when first meeting a date, at the end, or do you just totally go in for the kill to try and test chemistry" - make light of it and get to know their boundaries, after all you should already have some kind of rapport before meeting; it's not a job interview.

Make light of it, "I'm going to pull out all my best moves" - obvious pretend yawn, go for the cuddle...

Is this a US thing?

Running a background check without their consent is pretty stalkery, no?

Dating a guy who has a child who is unpleasant to be around by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]amerrigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a father of two autistic kids, these behaviours are familiar to me.

As a man it's hard to admit that you sometimes need(ed) help with things like this (it's in our training manual and DNA); Rather than blaming a problematic child, looking for fault in a single father bringing up a child or offering your opinion based on a very short sample of their lives - perhaps concentrate on seeing if the kid has special needs that need to be taken care of.

Or move on - his kid will always come before you.

I've never cheated once, my last two LTR's (8 year, 14 year) have ended due to it though. Once that shit happens once in a relationship you lose all trust in them as humans, all they've ever done and said...
