You can love without “falling in love”. I think a lot of women would have much happier lives if they grew out of that media-inflated over-romantic stuff as soon as they can, and certainly before they make any life-changing decisions.

I gave up alcohol last year as I lost too much time feeling crap. Actually realised now o don't drink that men cause more upset and wasted time than alcohol ever did so at the moment I'm with you...men are not at all worth the disruption to my peace they bring. I'd say 95% of the upset in my adult life has been directly inflicted by a man, I'm so much happier without one. 🙌🏼

The only time I thought I was in love it was with a dismissive avoidant 😂 let’s all laugh together. I’m 34 this was a few years ago. I’m not against meeting someone, but If I do it will in person not via online dating. But if I don’t that’s ok too.

@justdone88 im the same, its better to assume betrayal, not a relationship but a close friend, i cared about them built the friendship, then ghosted, no reason and it was one of the last people i would of presumed would of done it

Oh 100% the last two men that I've had in my life have done nothing but disappoint and cause me stress, upset and agg. I'm well and truly put off and would rather just be on my own now. So I really understand this one!

Online dating is horrendous these days! I had some bloke message me and we was talking as soon as I mentioned I had 4 children he didn't reply he just un matched me 🤣 I was like ok.... I'm not looking for anyone have been on the app for a while and I had tons of notifications soo I opened it up and see a messaged as me matched. I am put off I can't lie I just sometimes go on there and have a look I don't even know why... 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

Sort of on topic but not - song recommendation for those resonating

Tin Man by Miranda Lambert

First thing I thought of when I read this!

Last man I went out with was a DA and I met him through a mutual hobby. DA's exist in real life too, unfortunately. But I can appreciate there's loads on the apps as well.

Oh that’s not the reason I don’t like apps - could happen anywhere.

I just loathe dating apps and the fact they’re full of creeps 😅🤣
