Search Results: unlucky in love

When it comes to dating, I'm really worried that this is the reason why I am so unlucky in love, because I'm not very active person nor interesting enough for the guys.

I feel like after work and duties and all that needs to be done, you don't really have enough free time for hobbies and even if you do, if you are a homebody like me then you're happy just to be in a nice cozy calm place, home.

What I like to do:
- Play videogames from time to time (mostly horror games, RPG when I was younger)
- I like watching movies, especially old good movies and horror flicks
- I love good music, I prefer old music (80s, new-wave and similar).
- I like to spend time with my very few closest friends but it's so much harder now that we are all adulting lol
- I like to shop fashion and little things but I am still considerate while I do so
- Sometimes I like to bake (sometimes because not always it is eatable)
- I like eating out but as I said, I do it only when I can really afford it
- I do like animals a lot, care after them
- I also like cars, no pro but I know a bit about them, I like driving and I can myself traveling somewhere far, treat myself and my closest ones

This is most of the stuff I do after I come home from work and once are all the household duties done.

I'm kind of a nerd but I never really wanted to date a nerd. Is that normal?

Are hobbies/interests like these strange or not good enough?

27F I will say I’m unlucky, I don’t think dating is this hard for the average person. In fact, most people have it easy as long as they’re attractive. Since I’ve been on dating apps on and off for years, that’s the only way I’ve met people but I just never catch a break. The one time I saw someone short term, it felt like settling because no one else gave me attention & he wasn’t physically attractive to me but treated me okay. I always get pursued by the ones I don’t want, if they’re attractive they’re dicks or there’s no connection OR if they’re good looking but decent personality they’re too short for me.

Sometimes the guys on dating apps message and we speak for a little while, but things fizzle out. Out of no where in some cases, they reach out again and come across as unstable or a total asshole wanting to rub something in my face. Look at last post, is this standard of dating apps or am I unlucky?

TL; DR: Typical with dating apps or just bad luck in love?

I used to believe in happy endings and true love before. This image shattered when my first relationship failed. He turned out to be a real sociopath; a truly toxic person.

My grandmother didn't marry her first (he got her pregnant and cheated on her) and she had couple other relationships before finally marrying someone. My father's first girlfriend left him and marry the guy she got pregnant with. My mother ended up getting my father. However, he was and is still my mom's first.

So is it more likely for someone's first relationship to fail than succeed? Or is it a 50/50? I envy people who stayed with their 1st and didn't need to go through the ''starting all over'' process like my mom. Then others like me, my father and grandmother who were unlucky.
