[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either (i) you come off as a complete lunatic in person, laughing constantly and at inappropriate times, or (ii) you have no earthly idea what lol means.

Also, repeated use of emojis is the sign of a 15 yo.  [/quote]
I don’t know about that, but she seems overly eager to come off as a happy, well-adjusted and fulfilled person. I used to do the same thing when I was single and alone, kind of a self-defense mechanism about how UNfufilled (miserable) I was with certain aspects of my life.

It also reminds me of when people call into dating streams and parrot all of the “correct” answers back to the host. Well if you have all the answers, how come your present dating life actually sucks?[/quote]

Bingo. OP is in lala land and is trying to insert an imaginary man into the hypothetical life she doesn’t have yet. Maybe back off a bit of all your future “goals” and live your life a little day to day. [/quote]

Eh, this is simply how I write and message in this context. Among my demographic and the people in my circles, we sprinkle in our “lols” here and there. We don’t always literally mean it as laughing out loud, but to also note that something is humorous or to be taken lightly. Not something to majorly analyze, but have at it. When one puts something on a messaging board, one has to be ready to accept all kinds of responses. Alas 🤷🏾‍♀️

In any case, I am actually happy with my life and future goals. The point of starting this thread was to gain perspective on the questions posed in the OP. Many posters have provided great insight, advice, and shared anecdotes, and for that I’m grateful, as it will better inform me going forward as I think about my future and dating prospects.

Not sure why others are so hard pressed to label me as [b]miserable, lonely, maladjusted,[/b] etc., and additionally pick apart my messaging style to glean some idea of where I’m mentally at when that’s not the point of this post. But again, to each his/her own. It’s not my job to convince anybody otherwise, so take it for what you will. [/quote]

I have no idea if you are the bolded.  But, based solely on your posts here, I know you're annoying AF, which is going to impact your likelihood of finding a partner far more than your self-proclaimed ambivalence.  [/quote]

I’m not sure where you’re getting that from. You’re welcome to that opinion though. [/quote]

DP. Ignore the name-callers on here, OP. No need to respond to them. They come to these threads just to bash OPs. They're the kind of posters who bash you for a long and detailed description of your situation, but also would bash any OP who didn't provide what they deem enough details, and would "call troll" on those PPs for not writing [i]enough.[/i] [/quote]
