Its a fwb. |
If you’re associating only with men who can afford mistresses, you’re trying to be a gold digger. Stop doing that. |
Another here, except we may combine households in a year or so, but no one's pushing it yet. He has no kids so it's a bit simpler. There are many people using dating apps who want to be in a relationship, so you need to fine tune your filter to identify them. But also remember that even people who want to be in a relationship may not be prepared for the effort required to sustain a relationship. It's the same gamble as any other method of meeting people. You just have to do your due diligence and hope for the best. |
I’m associating with men in my professional circles and income bracket. But thanks for playing. |
People who haven't put much thought in to their profile, i.e. I like to laugh and travel. Look for profiles that have some actual personality, it means they are more serious about the whole thing. Also, if someone messages you, make sure that it's clear they read your profile, vs a generic message like, "What's up?" My DH and I met online and while he is not he most talkative of people in general his messages made it clear that he read my profile and his profile had some personality. Don't get me wrong, I went on plenty of not great dates, but that's just the nature of online dating. |
So other wait staff then? Set your sights higher! |
ME! So hard to find men who want a serious monogamous relationship. |
I'm early 50's, widowed with no kids and completely agree with the PP. I have dated several ladies with kids and fully understand the commitments required and I'm not looking to get married. There is something to be said to just going out for a nice dinner over a glass of wine or two and going home, no pressure. The "Art of Conversation" is not lost. BL - We're here... |
+1 Same, same as we are here. I'm early 50's, sans kids and not looking to combine households. Further, I also enjoy a nice dinner w/ no pressure. Being from the South and an extrovert (ENTJ), I also enjoy just talking and getting to know each other. |
9 times out of 10 doesn't matter what people go on there "looking for" if they meet someone compelling and there's chemistry and a connection...
"Yeah, I met my wife on a friends with benefits app but we just clicked and we've been together 28 years now." It happens. |
Real what "friends with benefits app" was that in 1991? |
It was an AOL chatroom. lol |
