Search Results: dating someone too good for you

I’m starting to realize that maybe men just don’t like me, I’m going to be 30 soon & never been in a proper relationship. I don’t want kids at least but I really don’t think I’m unattractive, I have self esteem issues so my opinion changes. But I’ve been on the dating apps for years on and off, my interest in them just became lesser over the years. Getting matches are never the issue it’s just it working out, always ghosting, fizzling out, etc. I’m told I’m cute/attractive, I never get asked out by guys in person, I can confidently say I’ve never been approached by a guy I found physically attractive. Back when I was 23 I dated someone briefly & I felt so offended by only being able to attract him it felt like settling I couldn’t be with him, I’ve been alone this whole time that shows you how men feel about me. When I was younger and around people my age more often I was told these guys found me attractive but they never did anything about it. The fact that beautiful people are always taken it makes me realize I’m maybe just not good enough. Isn’t it strange being as old as I am & still not meeting someone that I actually like? I’m not asking for a lot: good looks, taller than me (doesn’t have to be 6+ ft), educated, good sense of humor, not a cheater etc. I feel like I’ve genuinely become less interested in dating with my experience, I have a lower than average sex drive too I think

28F, I’ve had this guy following me on IG for maybe 2+ years. We matched on a dating app a while back, I think he remembers the timeline better than I do. He ended up following me on IG, we msged a bit & ever so often he’d like my photos or send me a message. I usually left him on read, we spoke on the phone for the first time in 2021. We’re from the same state but he moved PST for work, he offered to pay to fly me to where he lives & would pay for the hotel too. I told him that I’d need to get to know someone a bit better before making such a drastic move. That’s when the convo was initiated over the phone, he seemed like a pretty cool guy it was a good talk but I knew it was long distance & saw it as more of a pen pal. We didn’t message for a few months after he left a message of mine on read (he offered to play a virtual game with me but never followed through), he ended up contacting again after my dog died. It’s back to the emojis & liking my photos.
