Search Results: i want to get noticed

29F, I’ve been on and off the dating apps for years. I’m under the impression that I want a relationship as I install apps on and off. I’m at the point where I get drained when they’re installed & when I’m not in the mood to reply to messages or swipe on profiles, I end up actually using it every other day or every couple of days. When I’m at the point where I notice I’m not getting as many matches or likes after a couple of months, that’s when I delete & likely going on hiatus. I think deep down I must want something other than validation right? I like men but I haven’t been in a ltr yet, I saw someone for a few months in my early twenties & haven’t seen someone since bc I refuse to settle. I get interest from guys but it only seems to be on dating apps which I take with a grain of salt, I’m told I’m cute/attractive but never get noticed by guys I like in person (as in actually approached). I’m always told I haven’t found the right person & this may hold truth, I’m reserved & not affectionate/don’t have a sex drive really but feel like that could possibly change if I meet someone. I just worry I’ll feel regret as I’m getting old & still haven’t been in a ltr, I don’t want kids but open to marriage

So my boyfriend and I would text/send voice memos to each other and he says he cares about what I have to say and whats going on in my day/ life even if not much is going on. I've noticed is that he doesn't remember/ pay attention to things going on about my day or what I tell him. Sometimes I'm at the point where i don't want to talk much about my day or what's going on in my life because all he talks about his day and what's been going on at work etc. He does sometimes remember and pay attention but i find there's a lot of times where he doesn't pay attention to what i say. I am very patient and understanding but sometimes I get in these moments where there's no point in saying anything because I know sometimes it will go over him and zone out.
