Dating

Is there a reason I can't get dates?

I have managed two first dates since September last year.
I have been friend zoned by the first because I wouldn't allow him to come round for sex after one coffee date, yet he still calls probably weekly
The second I actually really liked, we had a good date, he drove 40 minutes for a couple of drinks, took me home and a nice kiss which he followed up with a couple of texts, but all communication is now lost.

I seem to get lots of men approach me but they are either married or honest that they only want casual sex.

I think that's jus t dating now a days so easy to ge t sex that it's expected pretty much h straight away

I have to agree with Butterfly

Online Dating & apps have been such game changers. Sex is readily available to anyone, female or Male at the drop of a hat

I agree with pp, online dating has made it so easy to get sex on a casual basis that you dont really need to put any effort in.
Im on an online dating app and to be honest you have to wade through alot of crap to find a genuine person who is looking for more than a hook up.
Also, and im not sure how old you are, but i im early 40's my last relationship was like going to hell and back ive worked hard to be at the place i am now. Im alot less willing to risk all that for someone new.
Ive had a date or three with some very nice men but i know their lives just arent compatable with mine. I talk to them and it becomes quite apparent quite quickly that they arent for me.
I think as you get older there are alot more things to factor in, its not just about meeting someone you like and dating, so while youre looking those casual hook up situations seem alot more attractive.

I'm mid 30s with three children at home.

I'm staying clear of casual sex situations at the minute because I think they would leave me feeling lower than I am already.
