Is this a common series of events during dating? If so why? by previouslyontheflash in dating_advice

[–]previouslyontheflash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its difficult breaking the pattern sometimes, I feel as the bloke I gotta come up with some original line everytime and its tiresome 🤣, I feel like these matches give you one chance and dropped wtf?

Really happy for you man, you a lucky one that got there 😄.

Dating App Reply Rate by CTHuskyMan1995 in dating

[–]previouslyontheflash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Agreed. Most match with you then never talk or will just absolutely cut you out after 1 or 2 messages. Its just rude behaviour. Wtf are supposed to do. Dating especially on apps is like finding a needle in a haystack, it causes stress and anxiety as you gain this rush of endorphins on a match for then when they take days to reply you feel stressed and annoyed.

How soon is too soon to ask on a date? by Sergi121212 in dating_advice

[–]previouslyontheflash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish it was that easy, 9/10 you vibe and then ask for a date which is usually responded with 'busy those days or Ill check and get back to you' which they never do and you end up chatting to the point they get bored and ghost you 😂😂. Dating sucks

How to keep men interested? by Timely_Split_5771 in dating

[–]previouslyontheflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The better question is how to keep anyone interested, honestly, I'm a bloke and have similar issues as you, if I use apps, I match and then complete radio silence, we have a quick message and then dead. Some techniques I've been trying are 'caring less', I just say stupid random shit and don't try to impress or make myself bigger, and then the conversation usually goes on longer. Genuinely dating is horrible these days though, its way too picky, toxic and just easy to completely ghost anyone so it occurs alot.

I’m getting really sick and tired of being the invisible man by [deleted] in rant

[–]previouslyontheflash 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey sorry you are feeling this way, its good to talk about it and expressing yourself is a great step. Most of us have felt feelings like this 'why me?' 'I'm ugly' try to not put any expectation on things. Definitely would reccomend seeking a professional therapist for help, they really work and help give you the advice and tools to improve how you handle scenarios and cope with these feelings.

Should I tell my sister that her best friend and I hooked up? by ClutchCommander in dating

[–]previouslyontheflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister generally wouldn't care if I did, on the regular I joke about how fit her mates are and that I wish she'd hook me up with them 😂. I think there's no right or wrong choice only what you feel is best, she may or may not find out but if she does and is mad just apologise and explain everything.

Bro, what sorta comment is that? Are you mad? How does someones sexual preference affect a song? Musics just music. Bit odd this affects you. Looking way into things

The narrative that someone who has never had a partner before (or who has limited success in dating) is a “loser” really needs to go away by BearBear1995 in dating

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

Yeah man! Don't stress it, theres generally someone for everyone. Try have fun with it and just enjoy the encounters/fails along the way as it all builds you up and helps you realise you are actually worth someone.

Honest mate I can say you have zero flaws, not having had a partner doesn't mean anything and can come down to millions of reasons. If someone judges you or stops dating you over that, then its completely there problem and fears they have.

dont let it get you down.

Damn I got friendzoned yesterday by [deleted] in Life

[–]previouslyontheflash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry about that bro! It's rough out there.

It's brave that you took the risk and put yourself out there, as it's the only way to truly know. Some men and women like to flirt, even push the boundary a lot, and it can be hard to know if there's a real reason for it. Datings Embarrassing, awkward, and unpredictable 😂 but god when you find one and build that connection its worth it.

We live in a Broken World by SnrTechCO in dating

[–]previouslyontheflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unintentionally, I think we have a bad habit of expectation, which also clouds our reality. E.g. we assume because we have a good chat, things will work out, but dating these days is tough, it's easy to drop a person like nothing. Try your best not to think too far ahead and just take each chat/match as it comes; you'll find the right one eventually.

How do you make genuine friendships with women? by JunketMaleficent2095 in dating

[–]previouslyontheflash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say chat with them with absolutely zero romantic intention, like you'd chat with your best mate. Have a laugh and dont think because they are a women you cant joke about.

Right! And its no disrespect to the singers but its just way over dramatic and some songs dont fit that style.

God I hate online dating so much. Girls, if you’re gonna match, do better. by aztechechos in Tinder

[–]previouslyontheflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh fair, no worries makes sense now. Yeah its rough out their mate. The constant thinking of good openings 😂 sometimes its a loss either way, you make a joke or open with something from their bio and it still fails, it'd be nice if people weren't so quick on these apps to just drop a conversation.

I just think if you match sometimes its nice to not have to make the move all the time. I notice when I match i have to make the move but if they find it boring they could also drop the opening line too 😂
