Losing faith in mankind

[cadburymilkchoc]

I'm in my 20s been single 2 years. Have a DS3. Basically most of the men I speak to want to come over to "watch a film" and "chill". I mean what happened to Romance!!? OLD is dire! Most just want a quick leg over! Just finished seeing someone who ended up playing me and was just a general idiot! Its harder for me to go out being a single parent too. Ah where are all the decent men at? Someone guide them towards me!?

Bump

This is exactly what scares me about the “single life”. I’ve just come out of a LT relationship, and I am definitely not ready to start dating again, and won’t be for a long time.

Suppose we just have to believe that they are out there somewhere, and just find content in ourselves to begin with. (That’s the advice I keep being told)

I have a good life and I'm happy by myself it just would be nice to share it with someone. Like a best friend too. But I'm sure losing hope that ill find a decent guy who isn't after just sex or a quick fling. Or one who doesn't want to play a few different women at once. I see and hear the same things OLD. Or men don't want to go on dates and just come over. I mean what is that about?

Personally I’d steer clear of online dating as there is too much choice and opportunity to meet lots of women for men, they are like a greedy kid in a sweet shop.
I’m fresh out of a toxic ltr and am not ready to meet anybody yet but when I am open to it I’d like to meet somebody in ‘real life’.
I’m very aware that things in the dating world have changed, it seems to be ok to date several people at once and play the field until you have the exclusivity chat, that’s not for me.
Your only in your 20’s, you have plenty of time to meet someone and I know from experience that lots of men want to date the old fashioned way by starting slow and meeting for coffee, then maybe lunch or dinner and taking it from there. I would expect quite a few dates out before I would feel comfortable having a Netflix and chill evening at my house! Also don’t sleep with somebody too soon, if they are genuine they will wait.

I really want to meet someone in RL too but it's hard to go out. Literally every single friend of mine has a partner all want to settle down and are getting married/starting families/pregnant. So I have no one to go out with to meet anyone. I find OLD very superficial. Sometimes someone just has something about them that you can't see on OLD. I don't mind being alone sometimes it's nice and I enjoy it. But after 2 years alone it would be nice to find someone who is a decent man
