Modesty!

[Bakerbo]

As a 29 year old male I can happily say that I have made the wrong choice in the past regarding who I am in a relationship with. I have had 2 long term relationships both around 4/5 years each. I have been single for 3 years now and I’ve only ever met one person since being single which unfortunately didn’t work out after a month or so. I don’t feel that the area I live or the interests I have can really help me find someone with good morals and has a modest way of life. I’m a baker by day with the hopes to one day have my own bakery business and I am really into country music, I enjoy long walks and hiking yet I can never seem to come across anyone with the same interests. Online dating seems to always attract to wrong types of women and isn’t really a route I would like to go down.
Does anyone have any suggestions or tips to help me in the future? Thankyou

I agree that OLD is not for everyone. You need to identify your hobbies and start getting out in the community. I am a worn-out, not very well 50-something single parent, and I have more attention now than ever. This is because I smile, I go to coffee shops and pubs, I follow my sport interests, I go to music gigs and do arts workshops. I don't have any trouble attracting men for dates. As a younger male, you need a mate who you share interests with, and put past dating to one side. Once the flutter of first romance is over, you need a friend and lover who you can talk to. Find her out and about, not flicking Tinder back and forth.

Are there any c&w dance events you can go to?

What do you mean by modest and the wrong type of women?

Sounds like meeting someone in whatever religion you have is a good way to go, based on the morals and modesty comments. Of the past 3 years, 2 have been mostly lockdowns, do most people didn't meet new people much in that time. Also, there is an online dating niche for most things these days, you don't just have to stick to tinder.

What do you mean by 'modest', do you mean they are not a boastful person? Or (as I suspect) do you mean your potential partner must dress so as to expose very little skin? Unlike the rest of us hussies I suppose.

I agree with a pp that you would probably be best off meeting someone through your religion (it must be a religious thing right?) and hopefully you can find a woman who thinks like you. In the meantime I do hope you are being careful to dress 'modestly' yourself and set a good example.

Well, with the OP being a baker, I reckon his “modest” comment means he’s seen enough baps already 😃

Sorry OP, couldn’t resist. You sound lovely. Sometimes life in the slow (dating) lane yields the best results.

Like others have said, join some hobby groups and don’t lower your bar. She’s out there somewhere for you.

What, exactly, is a "modest way of life?"

Join a hiking group. Meet people in real life

Moral and modest? Do you mean a virgin? Try church.

I can't believe you've been to walking and hiking groups and country music events without meeting new people. Have you?

Modest can also mean non extravagant, happy with a simpler way of life.
