I have gone back on The Apps again and this shit is so frustrating sometimes. Especially Bumble where you get a message, respond in a way relevant to conversation, and then nothing(???) lol
Lmao this drives me nuts. My past few matches on Bumble is them saying like “Hey!” or some other greeting that doesn’t really break the ice, and then I respond by saying like “Hey how’s it going?” and next thing I know BOOM, unmatched.
dating apps reassure me that I’m going to be alone for the rest of my life. There’s literally NO ONE that catches my interest. I live in the worst town for dating
Lol right, even if they ask you a question about something in your profile and you respond, tumbleweeds baby
They are only good if you live in the city, as I learned from living at home for the better part of the past year
I set up a 35 mile radius and there’s still no one. My area is just generally terrible for dating tho. The seemingly good ones (not many) want kids in the future so it makes it even more difficult.
Anybody ever do an open relationship or explore that route? Haven’t read through the whole thread or previous ones
My ex was poly but her and I were in a monogamous relationship because it’s not for me. But I’ve been around it a good amount.
I just imagine it’s a lot of work. Like me and my wife are good and we have talked about what if’s but I don’t think either one of us would do it.
I’ve said it before but my thoughts on it are that I think I could do it if that was how the relationship started but going from long term monogamous to poly seems like a nearly impossible switch Sorry Mary!!! That sucks. But now you get to experience what it’s like to have a significant other take care of you when you’re sick
It is immense work. The major key is obviously communication. Like poly people deal with all the same jealousy as non-poly people but the ones I were around the most were amazing at talking through everything and understanding things aren’t personal. It’s incredible to see and be around but definitely confirmed it’s not something I can do.
Yeah I think what we have discussed is more along the lines of swinging than adding to the relationship. Lol. We are pretty comfortable with each other and the idea of spicing things up. But definitely seems like a tricky situation at times
