The benefit of online dating is that if you don’t enjoy their company, you probably never have to see them again. As someone who has hooked up with: two coworkers, one neighbor (who was also my dealer…), and multiple guys that have lived and worked within three blocks of me, I have a lot of lessons learned about proximity.
I am going out with my FWB tonight. Not sure what we have planned, but I got a Brazilian wax yesterday so I am ready for anything haha.
…I’m really TMI on this thread. In my defense I have no filter in person either.
no shame, kare. A fresh Brazilian should make any lady feel powerful, awesome, and ready to get down and dirty
Pretty much all the guys I know are using Tinder are using it to hook up, they will even tell you they are looking for a relationship but aren’t.
Sure there are a few on Tinder but don’t count on too many. Then again there are women on dating sites looking just to get laid as well, hook up or not just be safe. If a guy likes you he will always find time for you.
Good luck with your searches
Update: Date went very well. Lots to talk about, no awkward pauses. Conversation was great. Dinner was great. When the restaurant closed we moved across the street to a pub so we could keep talking. He walked me to my car after, there was a kiss, he said he wants to see me again. So, I guess we’ll see what happens next!
@MissDre Sounds like a win!
On the topic of online dating parameters, my cousin actually met her now fiance on Twitter (not tinder no spelling mistake there.) I believe he commented on one of her tweets and it went from there!
But I do agree with @ver that all the dating sites and apps are the same. When my friend started her dating adventures online she found many guys would flip flop from wanting a relationship to something casual. They would say they wanted to date but then reveal they were actually more interested in hooking up. So guys are very much all over the place. As a women in many cases probably (but I am coming from one side here so only see it from the womens perspective). Anyways, I always make it very clear what I want in any of my profiles when dating or otherwise so people know. I also ask up front after a bit of chatting what they are looking for so we can at least avoid any miscommunication. But as Jimmyjam said, guys will say otherwise in hopes of getting the V haha
hi internet strangers who don’t actually know me 🙂 (major lurker here)
after a while of frustrating hookups that weren’t turning into anything, i finally have something promising!
met this guy who was taking my training program, so for that time it wouldn’t have been professional to date him. he’s very cute, smart, and driven and i definitely had a thing for him, though. so the training ended on friday and he sent me a message today saying he thinks i’m smart, funny, and pretty and he’s been waiting till it wasn’t unprofessional to ask me out. so we’re having dinner on tuesday 😀
not gonna lie, after telling a couple of my friends my next thought was “i can finally post in the dating thread!”I had a second date with this guy yesterday. The weather finally summer-ish! Lots of sunshine, so we went for gelato and then found a patio.
I haven’t decided how I feel about him yet, though. I can’t say a single negative thing about him, he’s great and I have a great time with him! We talk for hours and time flies. But so far, no butterflies or excitement?? Not sure if that means he’s not for me, or perhaps I’m just maturing a bit and having more realistic expectations (after all, me falling head over heels for guys after a first date has not worked out positively in the past).
I’m sure I’ll be seeing him again, though. So we’ll see how it goes!
MissDre, I’ve been dating a guy for about a month and a half, I did not have butterflies at first either. But from what you said about hours of conversation. With quiet time as well. I don’t feel like we have to be talking all the time to fill the quietness. It just seems to fit.
I’m very guarded and it’s hard for me to open up. I do not believe in falling for something quickly, but some how I feel like I will marry this man. I have been open from the beginning and it’s been extremely easy to talk about how I’m feeling and what I want.
Anyway, I did not have butterflies in the beginning either. The first time I had them was actually this morning on my way to work when he sent his morning text of “good morning beautiful” …It wasn’t even him touching me or anything…just reading his text message.
Good to know. Yes, I have heard stories of women who have said they weren’t sure about their guy first, that it took a while before they really started to feel the connection. So I am keeping that in mind, especially since I DO have a great time with him.
