2 Dating 2 Relationships Thread II: The Squeakquel NSFW • Page 214

Yup, my ex and I would do things on weekends that easily came out to over $60/mo, that's how I'm justifying it. Not going on dates anymore so investing that back into the app.

 

I get that for sure. Just my current situation wouldn’t allow for either of that at the moment. I was already in my head about damn I can’t even afford to take anyone out right now if I had someone. I actually did go on a date over the weekend and easily dropped $100. I’m like I can’t make this a regular thing at the moment.

 

How the hell are you supposed to afford gas and food if you haven’t worked in two months lol

 

When I was using them, the worst was the apps would magically find this new group of fairly attractive women close to when my subscription would end. I truly hate how scammy it can be.

Also, good lord, $60/month. It was not that expensive last time I was on one of those.

 

Yeah, I couldn't tell you what it was 3 years ago, but I want to say it was $30/month. I canceled the sub and don't plan on doing it again. There was 0 return on investment.

 

god the story in the quoted post is just... something

 

lol I just picture someone finally agreeing and then the guy is like “so ummm, that being said can you pay?”

 

Dating advice for American men: become a jobless wondering drifter going town to town in rural America harassing waffle house waitresses and gas station cashiers while they're at work. Serial killer shit.

 

The amount of people replying to women in that thread by being rude or dismissive is infuriating. Women are literally telling you what to do and what not to do to date them and these guys are like "no, ignore women like this, why am I single?".

Fucking idiots.

 

They have a bunch of tricks like this. It's pretty common across all of them that you get like a new user boost early doors or when you change location, to keep you interested.

Whilst I think Hinge is best of the lot (and I think it actually works OK under its free guise), I noticed after a while that it got quite good at spotting my type and putting them behind the paywall. I forget what they call the feature, but it's like top matches or something and you're limited to how many of those you can like per day (or maybe week). Whilst they can appear in your normal list of potential people, it definitely drip feeds those through at a much slower rate.

 

Yall weren’t lying about these dating apps. Decided to try Hinge since quite a few of yall talked about it. But holy shit it’s like only showing me like super model looking women that my lack of self confidence cannot even fathom dealing with right now. And it’s mad expensive if I wanna pay lol

 

Activities are honestly the best way to meet people unfortunately. Just finding a group near you for board games or something, but then again, I have had little luck so who knows.

 

I pay for the tinder premium it's 20 a month, honestly my best luck has been the super like messages you can send just saying something funny. Hinge works sometimes too, never paid for it tho. Probably depends where you're located. Bumble never had any luck with. I try to get off the app as soon as possible and make plans pretty quickly. I feel like the longer you wait more likely it'll die and you never meet lol

 

Had a thing starting up, that is in fact no longer a thing and it shouldn’t be a big deal since we only had two dates, but man I’m so exhausted from doing this dumb little dance. I feel so defeated and over it all

 

Dating may in fact be the worst thing you can do to yourself

 

For real.

 

If you want your self esteem decimated, try dating and applying for jobs. Both will crush your self worth

 

Spain’s 'pineapple-gate' spark hopes of romance and shop chaos

 

So a few weeks ago during the power outage for Hurricane Helene I ended up making out with my next door neighbor when we were both kind of under Hurricane distress. I have talked to her when she is outside a little and we are friendly but we haven't really talked about it yet.

I am the one who kind of backed off a little bit and kept it from going further because 1) I recognize that hooking up with my nextdoor neighbor without clear established boundaries and making sure we are on the same page could be extremely risky and messy and 2) I got the feeling she was invested emotionally more than just physically and I am not really interested in a relationship right now at all.

If it gets to the point where it happens again I am just planning on being honest and telling her "hey I do like you and I want to be friends, if we can find a way to be friends, have some fun together if we both want, live next to eachother, and it not be weird that would be awesome; if you're not comfortable with that and just want to be strictly just friends that is cool too. I am just not looking for anything serious right now"

If I can get a set up with my hot nextdoor neighbor where we can be FWB with no emotional attachments and no awkwardness that would be the absolute perfect scenario for me. Doubt it is going to work out that way, and if it doesn't that is fine. Too great of possible scenario not to take my shot though

That is a pretty crazy set of circumstances lol

 

Something something “don’t shit where you eat” etc

 

Yeah that phrase definitely came to mind for me lol

 

Why would you shit on your neighbor? I'm confused.
