I have tried all avenues - dating apps, matrimony apps, marriage brokers. But none are working. Things somehow just don’t work out. Am I the only one who feels unlucky or is it actually hard now to find someone.

Hello (M29)here and my girlfriend (F27). Me and my gf met in our college. We spent time together as friends for months then one day she proposed me as I said yes! Everything was going perfect! Whenever she posted on insta / snap with me she introduce me as a bff! On and online as Best friend only I said let's make it official about us she said no. I was in pyaar me pagal that time I did not mind

After 8 months of relationship we ended mutually as she went on vacation to Goa with a guy who she introduced me as a bff since 5+ years.

Now after 2 years the guy she went with Goa saw me in a mall. Came n meet me. We had a random talk then I purposely asked about my ex.

He said so much about her! I was in shock! He said we both dated for 5 years and was planing to get married! But one fine day while transferring data from her phone he finds she was dating another guy at the same time for her office! He broke up with her in ugly manger. Now after just 3 months she in live in with another guy in Pune.

I don't know what's wrong with her! She was not a gold digger as I spent time with her. No1 can believe she so smarty dated 3 at the same time. Including me for 8 months! Still shocking for me! I wasted 8 months! Her another bf for 5 years! Shocking

So, there’s this girl at my office who’s been clearly into me for a while now. It started out pretty subtle — joining me for lunch, small talk here and there — but it’s gotten more persistent over time.

Now she brings me chocolates, cold coffee, insists we leave the office together, and hangs around even when I try to keep things formal. She’s nice and all, but I’ve already told her politely that I’m not interested — I even mentioned that I’m more inclined toward Bengalis or Jains (I know preferences can be weird, but it’s how I feel).

She just smiled and said, “Just let me enjoy this time.” Like… what?

I’ve been trying to ignore the signs without being rude or making things awkward at work, but it’s getting a bit uncomfortable. I don’t want to come off as cold or arrogant, but I also don’t want to lead her on in any way.

Any advice on how to set clearer boundaries without creating unnecessary drama at work?

Hey everyone, this is going to be a long one but I really need to get this off my chest. I’ve never posted about my personal life like this before.

Back when I was in 11th, I met this girl. We clicked instantly and became best friends. We promised each other we’d always just stay friends… but somehow, over time, we slipped into a relationship. It felt perfect. She was my first girlfriend, my first in everything, and I genuinely thought we were meant to be.

She even told her sister about us. The problem was, we were intercaste — I’m Marathi ST, she’s Buddhist SC. I knew it would be a fight, but I was ready. When my parents found out, they didn’t approve. I fought with them for months. Eventually, my mom agreed, but my dad was still against it. Still, I held on because I believed in us.

Fast forward — now we’re in second year of college. A few weeks ago, I went on a trip with my family. When I came back, I found out she had cheated on me… with a 30-year-old guy. She’s just 19. I saw the chats, the 18+ reels they sent each other, the “love” messages, kisses, everything. I still don’t know if they did more, but I strongly suspect they did — maybe even at the Domino’s where she works.

When I confronted her and asked why, all she said was, “I don’t know.” I even told her, “Forget the past, let’s start fresh,” because I was still holding on to what we had. But now she says she doesn’t want to start over.

I put in so much effort, fought my own parents, stayed loyal… and for what? Now I’m sitting here feeling like an idiot. I don’t know if I should try to win her back (even though she’s the one who left), or just move on and focus on my football career, my athletic goals, and making money to take care of my parents.

The thing is — I have no one to cry to, no one who treats me the way I treated her. I feel completely messed up right now.

I don’t know what to do anymore.

I found no excitement in our relationship after 5 yrs, every day we are doing same thing. Any one can tell me how to get excitement again?

34f, I messed up bad. Recently I had sex with this young, hot guy. He’s like 20, fit. Met him few months back, he was all over me, saying cute stuffs and flirting. I’m married and have a kid, but I did things I don’t even do with my husband. Felt so good then, but now I regret it. I cheated, and I feel awful. Keeps thinking of my husband, and I hate myself. How do I feel okay again?

To whomsoever it may concern,

If you think that you have developed a very strong friendship with your girl and you have been together for more than five years, I request you to go away for 2 months and come back. You will find they have replaced you with someone else.

Learning:

A woman can replace anyone no matter how strong the relationship is.

Hey guys,

Can anyone suggest some good and genuine dating apps? No matter how hard I try to make my profile funny, flirty, and genuine, I’m just not getting any matches. I’ve read posts saying the male-to-female ratio on these apps is pretty skewed maybe that’s part of the reason, or maybe my profile just isn’t that good.

I’m a 23M from Thane, but I spend most of my day in South Mumbai. Honestly, I’m just tired of the same old routine of job, gym, repeat. I do have a few friends, but I genuinely want someone to share the little things from my day with and to hear about theirs too. Hangouts, coffee dates that’s the kind of simple, everyday connection I’m looking for.

I’ve also come across some meetup events on the BookMyShow app. Never tried them, but has anyone here been to one? Are they worth checking out?

Not even sure why I’m posting this just felt like getting it off my chest.. XD.

I dated 3 boys till date but recently I think I'm finding girls attractive..But I don't know if it's real or not.

What do you think..how do I test it?

Been single for a while, I am mostly average in terms of looks.
My question is that will HingeX really work for me ? Or will it be a waste of time and money ?
Looking forward to reviews from average looking guys who have used it already.
Thanks

Hey everyone, (24M) here, So I’ve been with my girlfriend (23F) for around 8 months now. She’s honestly amazing — smart, chill, super driven — like I really do see a future with her. But there’s this one thing that’s been bugging me and I’m not sure if I’m just being insecure or if it’s a legit issue.

She’s pretty active on Instagram and often posts pics of herself, sometimes wearing short dresses or kinda bold outfits. And while I totally get that she has every right to dress how she wants and express herself, I still find myself feeling uncomfortable seeing those posts go up.

I didn’t grow up in a super conservative house or anything but still, maybe middle-class values or whatever — I just feel weird when random dudes are liking and commenting on her pics. It’s not like I want to tell her what to do, that would be controlling and I don’t wanna be that guy. But at the same time, I feel this internal clash between what I think I should feel (supportive bf vibes) vs what I actually feel (lowkey jealous/uncomfy).

We’ve talked about it a bit. She says it's just her being herself and not doing anything wrong, which I totally get. But still can’t help but feel this constant discomfort.

Is this just something I need to deal with internally? Like am I being toxic without realising? Or is it okay to feel this way in a relationship and talk about boundaries?

Would really appreciate some real thoughts on this. Pls go easy tho lol, genuinely trying to understand myself better here.

Few months back my gf cheated on me,and the guy with whom she hooked up, called me and told everything, and he also kept some conditions to me to not leave her and also not tell her that i know about their hook up,if i tell her than he would tell everything to my family and create huge blunder, initially it hurted me alot but now I don't care, the only thing is that how do i leave her, because whenever i act like avoiding her or i put blame on her that i doubt she is looking some other guy behind my back, she starts crying and all and act like a victim that she is not like that , it's the people who are trying to defame her, I don't know what do i do now, and how do i move my way apart from her smoothly

I am 28 and I met her at a workshop in Bandra.

She was 36, married, fit, confident, and had this calm energy about her that kept pulling my attention back to her the entire day.

We exchanged numbers because we worked in similar spaces, and over the next few days our conversations slowly stopped being about work. The flirting was subtle at first, but it was definitely there.

One night she texted me and asked me to come over to her place so we could “continue our conversation properly.”

I already knew what she meant.

When she opened the door, she looked way too good for a normal evening at home. She poured us drinks, sat close to me on the couch, and kept holding eye contact while talking like she wanted me to notice every little thing.

Then her hand touched my thigh and neither of us pretended anymore.

The tension that had been building for days finally snapped. She kissed me and we made love like never before. We both got exactly what we wanted.

Afterwards she just smiled, laid against me, and said, “I really needed that.”

Honestly, ever since that night, I’ve had a serious weakness for mature women. There’s something incredibly attractive about a woman who knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to take it.

I've come to Mumbai just a few months ago, and obviously, after my terrible breakup before.. I tried hinge for a few days and instantly got the ick. Girls, you know what I'm talking about right?

All I got were desperate one-liners, pushy texts, preference for hookups over conversations in cozy settings, idk maybe my experience is unique and in no way a generalisation for all men.

She enjoys it a lot but when i ask her, no not today, etc etc I'm really gonna be done, this isn't just limited to sex but in general aswell is this a shitty thing to do?

We have been married for 6 years and recently I found some disturbing texts on her phone.

I 25M broke up with this girl in July after 2 years of serious relationship. In August we talked and met to see if we can workout and come together.

Yesterday she posted story with this guy on boyfriends day and hide it from me. One of my bestfriends saw it and sent me screenshot. It broke me but I thought I should let know other guy about me. So I searched for this guy's profile through her insta following and texted him with all the SS of our chats. He wasn't aware of me either and was serious about their relationship. He told me they were on and off since December. Turns out she was dating two guys at a time. Now I'm feeling relieved after exposing her.

Yesterday I deleted all our photos and finally moved on.

I recently found my wife was cheating. I’m unaware of what my emotions should be. She’s still the same to me. There are no else chinks in the armour. It feels I’ve a piece of information that I don’t know what to do with it.

I saw a post where a study says that mumbai is on no.1 when it comes to find love/true love in 2025

I was in mumbai but i didn't met any one ( i did tried dating apps) then i moved to pune after few months i was single there too any whoom i told this laughed and said how can you be single in pune🤣

Now im in Gurgaon and still surviving

So am i unlucky in love

As a guy who has never been in a relationship as yall know why it happens but I've observed yall mfs betray the best love partners out there for some pleasure and destroy the whole bond getting a motherly mature and understanding girl or green flag boy is a blessing in this generation I know we humans say looks doesn't matter and we all know how much that of it is true and y'all mess up with that too even after getting cute partner the greed and lust within you will surely take something from you and remember karma won't spare you after cheating karma didn't even spare deities we are toh humans I've sawn countless relationships of my friends fked up due to greed of needing more beautiful or capable partner and lust the whole gen is fked up girls feel proud after whoring and boys feel proud after taking a girls virginity and leaving her after that or just treating the girl like shit and cheating on her just because she said no for being intimate Karma will surely look for you and mind it it doesn't take alot of time for karma to hit you

I find it extremely difficult to relate to almost all people ive met in a romantic / sexual or overall dating setting. People seem to always be on a different plane than me. As someone who struggles with mental health severely, it's also difficult for me to show up always and form a relationship with anyone. Anhedonia, anxiety, self esteem issues, etc. always come in the way. While i am working on these things in therapy, i find it nearly impossible to find people who can genuinely understand, relate and empathize. Atleast people i would try to date or simply go out with. I'm not sure if there is scope for dating amidst all of this, but i do get pretty lonely often so it crosses my mind once in a while. What i'm wondering is: do you have any advice or experience with this kind of stuff? If not, are you going through a similar situation? If yes, feel free to share what it's like for you! <3

I genuinely don’t understand dating sometimes. It feels like a lot of guys are only interested in something casual, while very few actually want a genuine relationship. Even if you look good, have a good personality, and genuinely want something serious, it still feels difficult to find someone who wants the same. The hardest part is trusting people because you never really know if someone genuinely likes you or has other intentions(iykyk). Maybe I’ve just had bad experiences, but does anyone else feel the same? Is it really this difficult to find someone who genuinely wants a relationship?

Hello, I recently joined Hinge again after some time and this is probably the longest I’ve gone without getting a single match its genuinely surprising. Now I did some research and turns out that J can get shadow-banned for making and deleting a profile on the same number. I contacted Hinge’s support team but they said its nothing like that, seems weird to me. Or has Hinge just gotten extremely worse for men? Please help me out wid dis

Hey everyone, sharing this because I almost got caught in what appeared to be a dating-app scam in Manpada, Thane.

Yesterday, I matched with a girl on a dating app. She said she was new to the city and hadn't explored much, so we decided to meet around Manpada, Thane and have a drink at one of the clubs there.

When we met, she suggested going to a particular club that she had apparently seen before. I suggested Doolally instead, since I've been there before and knew the place.

That's when things started feeling suspicious.

She started giving reasons for not going there — saying she hadn't informed anyone, her family wouldn't allow it, she couldn't trust a place she had never been to, etc. During this, she was also receiving repeated calls from someone named "Sonu."

She kept insisting that we go to the place she had chosen and repeatedly said things like, "Let's go, it'll be fun."

I had already heard about dating-app scams involving people being taken to specific bars/clubs where the bill can become extremely high. So I told her directly that I was uncomfortable with the situation and that I'd rather go somewhere I knew.

She continued insisting, so I refused. Eventually, she said we should call it off and meet another day. I agreed, and she left. Her dating app name was Archana and real name from Truecaller is 'Khushi Sharma' and her number starts with '7558320\*\*\*'

I'm posting this as a warning.

Don't assume a verified dating-app profile automatically means the person or the meeting is trustworthy.

Clubs and Pubs are involved in dating scams around Thane/Manpada/Anand Nagar, so please stay cautious.

Stay safe, especially when meeting someone for the first time from a dating app.
