Search Results: assume they are dating

People have told me they are, most have said it’s geared towards hookups. 27F, it’s normally assumed that women have it easier but I’m not one of those women. I have to use apps because guys never approach me in person, even when I used to go out with friends. I’m told I’m attractive, the longest thing I had with someone was from an app & it lasted a few months. I felt like I settled (low self esteem) & really wished that I would have waited for a guy that checked off what I was looking for. Hence 4 years later & still single, should I blame the fact that I rely on the apps?

27F, the longest I was with someone was a few months. I have only ever met men on dating apps, I don’t have friends or a social life. I had to use dating apps because men just don’t ever approach me. I know women get approached doing everyday things like groceries, going to the bookstore etc. I’m told I’m cute, even when I was a little skinnier I assumed that would lead to more attention. I get messages on the apps but my reality has been: good looking guys only want casual, the decent looking ones are too short for me and the meh ones have a decent personality but I’m not physically attracted to them. I have tried bumble after years of expecting guys to approach first, I have gotten a good amount of responses recently but it continues to die out early on. I just go through periods where I feel the need to take a step back and test the guys interest. Or periods where I want companionship and for a few weeks, I have no desire to talk to any guy. Some say self sabotage I say it’s a gut instinct knowing it’s doomed to fail.
