29/M - 34/F

[Trippingslippingx1]

Been speaking to a 29 year old all week from OLD
I have made it fairly clear I am not looking for FWB Casual but LTR with someone (without sounding desperate - mind you I think being fairly clear about what you want makes you sound less desperate)

Anyway I have never dated someone 6 years younger.

Will he take me seriously or is he probably just looking for a shag?

It’s fine and good for you being honest that you don’t want to get used.

My Bio already says as much on Bumble and I have recieved no messing about from guys whatsoever - quite the opposite actually, I have had more engagement / serious phone calls than the usual hard hearted messaging and flaking

😂

What does being attractive and professional have to do with freezing your eggs? I do t understand what you mean about ‘what has happened to society’?

What I mean is that the woman at the clinic was saying there are so many nice woman - who would have made good partners opting out of dating altogether - and just going alone - as they have not met anyone for whatever reasons (focusing on career).

It is harder to meet a family orientated men who wants to commit. Many play around for a while - although there are many good ones - they can be hard to find.

Do you get exasperated by the dating apps or do you still see as it 'fun'?

I think finding someone is about timing and coincidence.

You don't have to nice and successful to find a partner most people aren't special they just got lucky!

But being unattractive and unprofessional doesn’t get you a ‘family’ guy?

It'll be interesting to see if you got to 38/39 and still haven't met anyone, would you actually go down the single mother by choice route. Lots of women like to think they are 'liberal' but in reality can't go through with it. Still holding out for the 'right' man etc

I don’t see why being ‘attractive’ and ‘professional’ would make it harder to meet a man who wants children. Looking at my friends this certainly hasn’t been the case.

so many lovely ladies on here have had it work out for them with great guys in their 30s! X

It's true. I met mine on match.com at 36. We married two years later and have two great kids at uni now. He's been a lovely husband and a brilliant dad. It can happen.

Best of luck to you.
