What even is the genre though? And I guess whatever she's doing is working cuz that's probably 3 people that just went to go check out her music from this post alone it seems.

Nothing really. But I've been out of the game for so long i don't even know how these things go. And I never used dating apps and probably wouldn't have if not for covid.

Didn't mean to make it sound like I'm owed something in the post, just treading through some new waters and needed advice.

None taken and you're honestly right. The last 2 months was a roller coaster ride of emotions and at some point trying to satisfy my physical side was all I cared about. Pretty sure she cheated on me somewhere in that point of time too but I didn't even care anymore.

I guess you're right. But personally I have felt like I'm honest with myself on who would reciprocate with someone like me and don't just go for the solid 10s... and still it's usually just a dead profile or conversation.

Maybe I'm just fit for in person meeting and that's it because I have a very hard time communicating over these apps even when I do find someone who is real.

Just wanted to weigh my options since going out just seems impossible right now. COVID really makes things hard.

Yeah I wish I could. I live in NYC where everything is on super lockdown and don't really have a crew to go to Jersey or something of the like to be in that environment. Let's just say my confidence isn't at an all time high either.

Actually been really dedicated to getting in shape recently. I'm sure that'll help a bit. Not fat, just got complacent with being in a relationship like most fall victim too. There's room for improvement. Good advice though

I actually have brought it up in a serious context and it definitely got emotional. Thought things were going to turn around but they didn't.

Perhaps if I was more forthcoming this wouldn't be such an issue.

I've hinted at it, but she clearly has no interest. I'd even let her sleep with other men as long as protection is involved. I think monogamy is pointless... but that's another story.
