I am paying already, definitely agree though if I'm not put off by their photo, or their written profile it's the sofa that is the reason Im swiping left. Aware how ridiculous that sounds.
@SamW98 I totally agree dating within your own social circle is not a good idea for all those reasons. Everyone has an opinion if it doesn't work out.
I'm actually not someone who goes on typical good looks, I'm much more driven by personality and aware that maybe I'm ruling people out too quickly but equally some of the likes I'm getting are from men who in my eyes look 10- 20 years older than me which unless they are lying about their ages they aren't but by god some of them have had a tough paper round.
I do have another two new ones since this morning that I've swooped messages with. But the first one seems too keen, and looks quite different in his photos so I'm wondering if some of them are older ones.
Second one I'm not sure about physically but he is in a similar line of work and unless he is not good at his job is likely to have some level of emotional intelligence going on so will see where that goes!
@blacksocks33 I totally relate, I've been single for 4 years and before I started this genuinely thought I was happy on my own but now doing this feels like a big spot light have been shone on that. It's so up and down as well which is disconcerting and anxiety provoking. I'm trying to find ways to manage it as not ready to give up just yet but it's definitely tricky. Are you chatting to anyone else or just the one who you've had the dates with?
@friendswiththemonstera I'm sorry you are feeling down with it all too, I'd love to think I could meet someone in the wild but I just can't see it happening hence giving the apps a go.
