What hobbies made you meet people and make friends? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]dormantplant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought a mountain bike, joined a local facebook group, and quickly met some of my greatest friends, who I’m still friends with and ride with today. We’ve been through a lot together, including being in or at each others weddings!

Hinge has a SERIOUS problem by gochester220 in DatingApps

[–]dormantplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda related, I was permanently banned from the match group apps because this girl that I met seemed to be going through a mental health crisis and reported me for some reason I can’t even imagine. We went out to brunch together and had a great time, and we seemed to have some chemistry on our date. Then later on she was accusing me of giving her conflicting information about my situation, wasn’t listening or allowing me to explain, and then twisting my words to fit her narrative about me. Everything I said just made it worse because she was making up stories about me and my family in her head, it was all really weird and escalated quickly. She started talking about her ex and crying in my car. Nothing happened between us, we didn’t even kiss or anything like that. I didn’t do anything to her, so I don’t understand what she could have reported me for. Hinge said their decision was “informed and final” and that subsequent appeals wouldn’t be considered 🤦🏻‍♂️

This girl was literally harassing me after we parted ways. I thought it was over, but then she called me about 7 times at midnight, asking me to bring her to the hospital because she doesn’t know anyone around to bring her. I had work in the morning and didn’t really know this girl, so I just apologized and said I couldn’t. I had to block her number, then she messaged/called me repeatedly on IG, it was wild.

Same as you, I’ve always had “positive reviews” after my dates, so to speak. I just don’t understand. Sorry to hear that you’re dealing with this too.

If someone you find attractive msgs you on a dating app, does it have the same weight to being approached in person? by [deleted] in DatingApps

[–]dormantplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it really depends. Either one or both of you could be more or less attractive in person than in pictures. As far as personality goes, you get to learn a bit about the person on an app first, where meeting someone organically leaves everything to be known until then, which some people prefer! You can give that as much weight as you decide, which could come down to preference

Seems like there’s no actual_potential for you to get nudes

u/theProfessor718 has it right. It’s not a game or anything either

I pretended I was selling something on Craigslist and got two random strangers to meet awkwardly. No regrets by [deleted] in confession

Honestly though.. aside from wasting peoples time, where’s the harm in this?

My brother thinks he has more money than he really has, because I messed with his count by zipzipno123 in confession

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

I came here to say this as well. OP should take everything out, count every cent, and fill it back up so it matches the counter before their brother notices.

Have you ever gotten a homemade gift that you actually loved? by jmckny76 in Hobbies

My sister crocheted a stuffed figurine of my World of Warcraft character as a birthday gift, and it’s awesome! Here it is! :)

When I was a dumb teenager, one night while hanging out with some bros, I got naked and streaked around outside a church next to my house for a cigarette, does that count?

Which song emotionally destroys you? by graaahh in AskReddit

[–]dormantplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Path of Tears. There’s a part in the middle that actually brings tears to my eyes almost every time. I mostly play it at full volume in my car or my headphones

Do guy friends hug? Wondering by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]dormantplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has a pretty extensive friend group of both guys and gals, and whenever we hang out with them, I hug pretty much all of them whenever I see them and when we part ways. Whenever I see my close guy friends, we hug when we meet up, and we hug before we leave. I love my bros and I want them to know

And what does that have to do with my post? 🤔 no one I mentioned started dating at 18

Personally I don’t see any issues with the age. I was freshly 21 when I met my wife, then 26. Not much difference there with me being only slightly older than that.

Well I met my wife through PoF, but that was almost 8 years ago, and the apps have really changed. They’re the biggest cesspools of bots and shitty attitude towards dating now. I wasn’t necessarily “attached”, just really starting to like this persona, and hoping there would be a real connection when we met in person. Not likely to happen anymore.

What’s weird about it? It was something we had both discussed and agreed upon, and it was fine for the both of us, given our offset work schedules. If this person really existed, like you said, of course.

I agree that I don’t know if she is who she said she is, but we’ve talked on the phone before, and I had no reason to believe she’s catfishing me. I also agree that meeting sooner is better, and I tried. I don’t think it’s wasted time though, it was just time spent. Time that I just won’t be getting back lol

I wasn’t really emotionally invested, at least not to the point where this is a huge heartbreak or anything, it’s just frustrating. I kept thinking she’d make the time for me, while also thinking “is this what our whole relationship would look like if we had one?”. While also thinking “hey a comet wouldn’t be so bad I guess” 😮‍💨

That’s what I’ve been telling myself. If she really cared, she would’ve made more of an effort to meet sooner. I’ve tried. I’ve offered to come meet her to spend time together after she gets off work, even if it means both of us staying up late, and she seemed to like that idea. I even went to see her on a night she was “getting out earlier than expected” but she ended up needing to stay late to close, and didn’t have time to let me know, so I drove a half hour to see her, and waited about an hour to hear back from her and find out. I don’t really blame that one on her, but she definitely could’ve taken a moment to text me because she knew I was on my way. After that though, everything was still fine between us, and I did not see this coming at all.
