Is it difficult to understand relationship types??

Just a nothingness post really as sometimes life feels a bit too serious.

Does anyone find it increasingly frustrating on dating apps when you set your "looking for" section as one of the longer term relationship options but might be open to shorter term and you get all the FWB/casual types who start to chat and then when they try and set up casual sex and you tell them that isn't what you are looking for they start telling you that you should change your status as you clearly aren't looking for short term.

Yes, I know, that's why I've chosen the longer term option but am open to something shorter if someone was Paul Rudd or Chris Evans haha.
You, bloke who spent 2 mins talking to me before wanting a hook up do not deserve my body.
I'm starting to attempt amusing responses at this point instead of just unmatching.

Just remove short term from your options.

@RomeoRivers sometimes the level above the "long term, open to short" is "life partner" which I'm not sure I want.
Considering there are short term specific options and casual fun options, I always find it funny that the FWB/Casual sex people have theirs set to "long term open to short" and then want you to change yours.

This isn't a serious question really, they all get weeded out eventually, more something to discuss that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme.

Do you have to put anything in that box?

Dating but nothing serious.
Friends first see what happens.
Friends first, open to long term.
Don't say anything and end it when you need to.

I prefer to chat and create. A relationship doesn't have to be bog standard.

@Lexibletheflexible i don't think you do, but I've left it blank before and the amount of smutty openers was unreal. Felt like I was offering myself as meat on a stick.

@Mysticguru i like those. I have a similar vibe written in my profile as usually what you can put for what you are looking for on dating based websites is from an options list.
