Why is it so hard to find a partner these days

[Singlelooking10012]

Given there are lots of dating apps/ website it should be easy to meet new people. I am a 44 year old man and struggling to meet new people.

Is it hard though?

Met DP on tinder, I was his second date and we've been together for almost two years.

I think if you bring a good personality, can exist as a fully functional adult, and positivity then you will find people who find that attractive.

@Pelham678 , has really hit the nail on the head. Never fall for a woman who has 0 interest, It will destroy you, will inconveenience her, and will just be utterly horrible for both. So easy to fall for someone, but if there's no tangible reciprocation, move on, never mention and don't hurt yourself by remotely asking. Speak from bitter experience.

Apparently there’s like a 1:100 chance of meeting your future partner but it works for some people and for some it’s the only way they can meet new people.

So mathematically, for every hundred dates you could find a decent match? So one date per week for two years approx, and potentially BINGO! So not totally unrealistic then?

Yes but are you shy though?

If by good personality, do you mean upbeat and outgoing? Because many people who struggle with online dating are not extroverts. That's the issue.

If you are the type that doesn't wow at parties, hasn't got tons of friends etc you're likely to be a slow burner at dating too. Which is why I was suggesting activities where you get to know people gradually.
