I don't know if this is just my age but I am exhausted and depressed when it comes to dating. I loved my ex and it has taken me 2 years to put myself out there again. Now I am trying to date (not only on the apps, but they are the main source I guess). I dont know if it my age but I have been matching with guys but then no one is messaging. Please dont tell me to message first as I do too (on hinge) and the guys match but then still dont continue the conversation I guess. On tinder, guys match but then done message me. A few messaged me at 2am-4am after like us being matched for a few days.
I am not a booty call and I unlatch when this happens. I have on my profile I am looking for a life partner and I am not going to change it in the hopes someone wants to know me only if I say I am looking for short term fun. That is not what I want.
I am tired, getting depressed. I won't my apartment, have a good job I love, have a kitty cat who I love more than anything. I am independent, very loving, bubbly, love weed so a stoner husband would be a cherry on top and it means I won't ever try and stop a guy from smoking or change the guy at all.
I have great qualities and I just want to meet my best friend and love life with but I seems like I am not a catch? I have never been in a real relationship, in the last 9 years I have been in 3 very short term relationships which makes me really sad. 1st 20 years old, my first ever experience being with a guy, the guy cheated. 21 dating a guy in my uni course, bad idea. 27 was my rent ex, left me after 4 months as I was going through a difficult mental health time.
Now I just want to meet someone more than ever and I feel like it's even harder than ever. I also date myself, do my own thing, I like to talk to new people, I open everyday to meeting someone but it just hasn't happened.
I am giving up home and it makes me really sad 🙁 I dont know what else I can do. I do everything already that keeps being recommended to me.
