Anyone else lonely in their mid 30s?

[red324]

I feel like everyone else moved on and I'm just spinning my wheels. Same situation for years. The same two friends, can't get anybody else to like me. I go on dates and none of the girls I go out with want a second date. I'm pretty independent, but the older I get the more it bothers me. Then I got kicked off tinder about this time last year and have only been on a couple dates in an entire year. None of the girls I approach in real life are ever interested. Even though none of the girls stick around it still felt good I could at least land a date online lol. Guess I'll get another phone with a new number so I can get back on tinder. I think that's really what's gotten me down this past year because I can't pickup a girl in real life if my life depended on it. None of the other dating apps I've tried seem to have anyone on them anymore. I think I'll feel better if I can go on dates again.

Opinions?

Yes, i feel almost exactly the same, apart for not really finding a lot of men I even like. Those I like I have asked on dates, liked them on dating apps, txted first but none of it really went anywhere. The best it got is 3 dates w a guy.
I think you should definitely go on dating apps (apart from tinder I use badoo, bumble, facebook...) cause you seem the type as me, meaning we feel horrible not doing anything about it and just going on apps n trying gives us the mental satisfaction that we r doing something about it thus there is hope.

I'm on bumble too. They don't really let you swipe much before maxing you out for the day. in my opinion I think most of the profiles on there are old and inactive. Tinder is really the only one I ever have luck with

[devilish-cutie]

I had most luck with badoo. I think you shouldn't be too negative, a lot of women dont swipe n just look cause men dont appear serious enough, you can't really see how they look like; we r also afraid cause of bad experiences like some tend to get very agressive n posessive very fast, some ghost you, some just want sex, some send u dick pics... men dont get that ypu need to make us feel comfortable and like we can trust u, u need to be patient and considerate... U also can't know if they have a dealbreaker like eg. being married before or having kids... This has been my experienece, ofc there r horrible women out there as well

[devilish-cutie]

Also they dont put much info about themselves, like do they work (its about knowing u do somwthing w ur life), your education, height...

[red324]

I downloaded badoo. Omg they have so many transgendered women on there. That's all I match with🙄

[devilish-cutie]

I don't know how its in USA, but Im not into transgendered people either. What I like about badoo is that you can chat w someone even if they didn't like you or you didn't like them... you can also see who goes on your profile

Mid-30s should be a great time for you dating-wise

[red324]

Why do you say that?

[red324]

Most people have already settled down and have kids at this point

[Avicenna]

It sure was for me. My first kid was born when I was 37.

Been meaning to sit at the bar a couple nights a week. I do need to get out more
