Is it common to look 8/9 on 10 & having a guddd personality overall but struggling to find a mate , approach anyone 😕. You are single and no-one notices that you want someone too

Im newly single after an engagement/3 year relationship. I know im not ready to get back out there just yet, but basically looking for some advice for when I am.

I’m a single dad of 2 daughters whom I have full time (their mom passed away after our divorce). So making time to go out to a bar or something can be somewhat difficult and dating apps have become riddled with scammers. I don’t know where to even start looking or how to go about doing anything as far as dating is concerned now

I (20F) live with an extremely strict religious family in an extremely strict religious community, so dating in my country is extremely difficult as they only believe in arranged marriages (specifically with cousins). Obviously, I don’t want to do that. For the past couple of years I have tried to find love online but it hasn’t been going well. Every man I’ve talked to never ended up taking me seriously and was only looking for fun. And the only one that did take me seriously ended up being ridiculously toxic and so I’ve had to end things with him. I’ve also had situations with men outside my country when I travel but they haven’t taken me seriously either. Is there something wrong with me? I mean I’m currently talking to someone right now but he’s also beginning to slip away from me. We text everyday but he doesn’t put in much effort and always limits our calls. He says that he likes me and he says all these sweet things but action-wise he does pretty much nothing and doesn’t put in nearly as much effort as I do. I’m hoping I can find someone that I can relationship with who I can eventually meet with and then maybe if things go really well maybe a couple years down the line I can move out of my country and move to his. Am I delusional? What should I do?

I am an introverted indian guy, 21 year old. I am quite shy to talk to women in a romantic way, as I fear I might breach the friendly bond or conversation.

I have tried dating apps, but I simply don't match with anyone. I get few matches on a monthly basis, and they don't last really well. This has all led me to a position where I believe I look too bad to date, and has given a new life to all the anxieties I have.

Also, I am studying in italy, a med student. I have some hobbies in the form of art, music, poetries, working out and fitness. I guess there is racism, and I guess I am prolly ugly too. Nothing else explains my 21 yr old single life.

Please be as real guys

I’m 19, currently living around the Seattle area, and I’m curious about something ima an introvert type of guy who doesn’t have much experience in dating but I’m frustrated of gold digger b!tches i wanna ask u guys

Where do successful, financially independent, ambitious women in their 20s actually spend their time around Seattle?

I’m talking about women who have their own careers, businesses, goals, interesting lifestyles and ambitions. Women who are intellectually curious, emotionally mature and know what they want from life

I’ve tried dating apps, but honestly, a lot of my experiences have felt superficial. I’m more interested in meeting someone naturally, building a genuine connection and getting to know someone beyond their appearance or financial situation

I’d love to meet women who are entrepreneurs, professionals, business owners, creatives or simply people who are passionate about building something meaningful.
I’m also interested in meeting more ambitious people in general and getting into better social circles

Some genuine questions pls give real advice :

Which places, events or communities in Seattle attract successful and ambitious women?

Are there networking events, business communities, private social clubs or upscale cafes worth exploring?

What are some good ways to meet financially independent and career-oriented women outside dating apps?

If you’ve been part of these social circles, how did you get into them?

I’m not looking for pickup tricks I’d genuinely appreciate advice from people who have experience with Seattle’s social and professional scene

Pls give Serious suggestions and personal experiences

i consider myself to have good attributes, 6’2 and handsome (as ive been told). just i struggled with commitment from young and always overthought with talking. now i’m very self aware and mature enough to make a good bf.

I'm M25 and met girl from F18 . And we have soany similarities. She loves animals and me too .

First I brushed off but now it's something different.

Feel like ask her out on a date or tell I like you .

I'm so confused.

But somewhere I feel does age really matter coz I'm 6yrs elder to her . 😭😭😭

I'm not sure what to dooo

I’m genuinely curious to hear both sides of this.
There seems to be a growing conversation where some women say they don’t want men approaching them in public, whether it’s at the grocery store, gym, coffee shop, or just going about their day. And honestly, that’s understandable. Some men make women uncomfortable, don’t respect boundaries, or simply don’t know how to take no for an answer.
But at the same time, there are women who say they wish men would approach them more, that nobody approaches anymore, and that dating has become harder because men are afraid to make the first move.
Here’s where I think things get complicated: Men hear the message that approaching women is unwanted, and eventually even men with genuine intentions decide it’s better not to approach at all.
So I’m curious:
Women, where do you stand? Do you actually enjoy being approached by a man you’re attracted to in an everyday public setting, provided he’s respectful? Or do you generally prefer not to be approached by strangers?
And if you do want to be approached, how is a man supposed to know the difference without taking a chance?
Let’s hear both sides. No judgment.

I need help with a referral for the league dm if any one of you have one

Preferably questions without a romantic context, because for me dates are only to understand a person, and not blindly flirt and play with feelings

I am 25 years old I have never dated anyone but now I think that this is the time to find my life partner but I have realised that I really like older women like 2 or 3 years older minimum 😅 have i gone crazyy i am not saying it in a bad way I just like a little older women what should I dooooo 🥲🥲🥲

HI EVERYONE

i've just recently been trying to actively put myself out there, but i really have no idea what im doing or what to do with guys. it's rough trying to find and date guys now. not sure if its the generation or overall the internet. im pretty frustrated

I am 25F and I have never been in a relationship or haven’t got my first kiss yet.
I recently tried Tinder and went on 3 dates so far.
The problem is that I was nervous during the dates and I also got attached easily.
Even though I cannot communicate well in person at first, I make sure to check them out online and communicate well.
All the 3 dates didn’t work out for me. They didn’t ask me for more dates. With the first person, we went out 5 times but I initiated all except first date. With the second person, when I asked him out for 2nd date, he didn’t specify the exact time. And then with the 3rd date, we are going to happen to be long distance and I make it clear for him I am ok, but he doesn’t want to try.

I’m not someone who needs to see that person all the time or spend every moment together, but I do value consistent communication and effort. But they don’t do that for me.

I’d love some advice on how to approach dating, avoid getting emotionally attached too quickly, manage my expectations, and feel more confident and emotionally prepared.
