[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outside of the usual dating apps - hinge, bumble, CMB, the league etc., what type of meetups or activities or other groups etc helping you meet a partner? Looking for men in their 30s and 40s for marriage, and getting very tired of all the ghosting/short term relationships on dating apps. I’m thinking of adding 1-2 in person meetups per week (with the hope of casting a wider net, but not necessarily dating events). Insights appreciated![/quote]

OP here. I should add that I went on 50+ dates last year and was excited about less than 5 of the guys I met from hinge and bumble. (One moved away and lost touch with another due to an unexpected job search - so nothing panned out). But it’s just been alot of work, and I’m hoping to improve the quality of guys I’m meeting, so we can move on to the relationship part![/quote]

This is a pretty bad percentage. I would consider why you are matching with so many people who are not a good fit. Maybe your profile needs a different focus. Or maybe your standards are unrealistic. I'm not sure there is any reason to believe you'll find a higher percentage of matches in person. [/quote]
Yes, I also wonder why OP goes on dates with so many men who aren’t a good match. Last summer, I wanted to date casually and met with 10 men through Hinge and had an amazing experience: most of them were so nice, I ended up dating one very high quality man and am still in touch with 4 of them as friends.

Last December, I decided that I’m ready for a long term committed relationship and created a new profile on Hinge with the very specific description for the type of man and relationship that I was looking for. It worked really well: I had long conversations with 3 men who were really interested. I was traveling for a month and couldn’t meet with them right away, and I think that helped to keep them interested and intrigued. I unmatched one of them before even meeting him in person, after he called me being drunk. I met the 2nd one right after I came back, dated him for 3 days in a row, he was interested in the long term committed relationship and was quite wealthy and generous but I broke up with him. Next day after breaking up with him, I met with the 3rd man. We started dating every day, and on day 4 he asked me to become his girlfriend. That was a month ago, and we are still very happy together. He has a PhD, competes in an Ironman and is such a sweet, caring person. I think I can be an online dating consultant 😀[/quote]

GF after 4 days??? Are you that easy, PP?[/quote]
Well, when you know, you know. We exchanged a lot of messages before meeting in person, he has meaningful online presence because of his publications and competitions, I looked that up before meeting him in person. We felt a strong chemistry when we met and had some really interesting and long two dates thereafter, and on the 4th date we were both ready to commit. [/quote]
