Lonely

[izzygirlis4]

I have been single 2 years and thought about time to start dating again.

Whenever I've been single before I've found it really easy and not been single for long. Maybe I've just got fussier which isn't a bad thing.

I'm lonely. I want someone in my life.

I don't want to be desperate or settle.

Omg the men on dating apps are shocking. I haven't even got further to exchanging a few messages.

Don't even know what I want from this thread. I'm just feeling sad today

OLD is dreadful. I’m older than you OP (55) reasonably attractive, well presented and very social. I do get a lot of likes and matches but I’d say 95% are just looking for sex. I make it very clear that’s not what I’m after but they still think they’re the one who can persuade me to change my mind.

I’ve been single nearly 4 years and now at the stage where I don’t believe there is someone for me and I’m very comfortable on my own.

Theres a difference between judging and just not fancying someone though.

Also certain things like excess weight can often mean underlying self esteem issues or poor health. I guess that's a judgey assumption. But still a fair one.

Over 2 years here, mid 30s, and starting to get a bit lonely. Never had any difficulty on the apps years ago (although I didn’t end up with a relationship out of them for a variety of reasons) but this time I’m really struggling.

Met someone lovely but annoyingly don’t fancy him so we meet up as friends. I’ve completed the whole thing now and must have only swiped right on about 15 profiles.

Most of the matches I’ve had have been really dull. Men not bothering to ask questions, or not bothering to reply at all. I matched with someone I was quite keen to chat to but I don’t think he’s that interested as I haven’t heard from him in a couple of days now. Starting to wonder if it’s me but I don’t think I’m doing anything different to my bygone successful days
