2 Dating 2 Relationships Thread II: The Squeakquel NSFW • Page 201

My bf has good eyesight privilege which I just decided is a thing. He has like no concept of the reality of poor eyesight lmao. Like we'll be out and about and he'll ask me if I can drive home but he's like "wait but did you put your contacts in today??" Like I would ever leave the house without glasses or contacts. Or he'll try to be helpful by reminding me to put my glasses on before I leave the house when I'm already wearing contacts

Like bro. You can always assume if I'm not laying in bed that I have glasses or contacts. This isn't a "sometimes I wear reading glasses if I feel like it" situation haha I could not function otherwise

 

Nothing wrong with being single, people... lmao

 

Came across a guy on hinge that said he was “extremely sarcastic”. So he’s low key possibly verbally abusive?

anyway I’ve been chatting with a guy on bumble and he hasn’t ghosted me yet. I usually get ghosted by now. But I have extreme anxiety when we meet that he’ll find me ugly like the last guy I met nearly a year ago.

 

Every other person I come across on the apps is “fluent in sarcasm” or some stupid bullshit like that. It’s quite common.

 

"Just a Pam/Jim looking for my Jim/Pam"

 

'i'm a savage looking for my miss elizabeth' has been my new pickup line on the apps, and it's been working... oooooh yeah!!

 

i always message these people saying, “you should probably rewatch the series closely if you think this is a good thing to look for” and people get so pissed lmao

 

damn you the cameraman?

 

Update on my dating life in the last year:

nothing new to report

 

I was going to say “the man has a name!” but legit can’t think of it. Nate? Nick? Brett? Mark? Brian?

 

bro that would be hella tight tbh

 

Joined Hinge again after like, a year. And man is it a bummer. I'm convinced I'm just a picky dude.

 

Prolly one of those. Maybe even a combo.

 

Well, I think guy I’ve been chatting with on bumble is ghosting me now. I jinxed it. Shouldn’t have said anything.

 

Guy from bumble finally responded. But I’m questioning whether or not I should continue to talk to him. I got short responses and took him nearly a week to respond to my last message. I didn’t even get a “sorry for the late response” or anything but a reply to my mine. Considering the lengthy time it took him to respond compared to other messages, I’m getting the feels he’s not interested anymore and wondering if I should just not respond to see if he’ll say anything or wait for him to unmatch me. Or if I should just unmatch him without saying anything and maybe he’ll take a hint. Or say something. If someone wants to talk to you, they will. And I’m not getting that feeling from him

 

Swinging 0 for 3 this year, every girl I've talked to I thought would become something serious has told me "I'm just not in the right place for a relationship right now." Either there's something wrong with me or I'm just going for the wrong women. :/

 

Not really dating, but there's this guy who works at my gym and we have followed each other on Instagram for a while and seem to have politics and tv shows and things in common and I made the naive mistake of thinking he just seemed like a cool guy for a friend but he increasingly messages or comments more flirtatious stuff that I have a harder time dismissing or justifying as maybe miscommunicated platonic messages. Last time I went during his shift he messaged me a flirtatious thing about wanting to see me in person more and it makes me not want to go to the gym during his shift because I don't want to deal with the awkwardness and his shift is in the morning before I go to work so now I feel like I can't go to the gym in the morning

 

Yeah I hate this stuff, huge societal problem even with dating which is less... unintentionally predatory than most casual interactions.

I found when I was single, it was always better to just keep things 100% platonic or just be upfront about intentions. The vague flirty messaging just doesn't work from any angle.

 

Tinder guy I meant to swipe left on is trying so hard to make himself look like a “good match”. I straight up told him I wasn’t looking for someone who’s into “casual” at this age, but then he said “I’m also looking for something serious”... dude just didn’t get it. I want someone who knows what they want. But hey it’s tinder right. He also low key ignored some “qualities” I told him I look for with a response that doesn’t necessarily say he shares those qualities.

 

Yeeeah I don't post many pics of my boyfriend but now I'm like uhh maybe I'll just post one of us soon and he'll get the hint? Like he seems like a good guy and we have mutuals but I'm awkward and I don't wanna deal with it when I didn't do anything but mind my own business!

 

Started chatting with a guy on tinder. Found his Facebook and creeped it. He was previously engaged and also had a wedding planned during the pandemic but postponed it. I wonder what happened

 

Could always ask.

 

Back in my single days it was very common for people to ask me if I had ever been engaged or married

 

“Umm so i found you on fb and creeped it and saw you were previously engaged. So...what happened”. I need to work that into the conversation somehow instead of just blurting it out lol

 

Honestly that would work for me.
