As of recently, my popularity has dwindled on the dating apps & I’m unsure of the exact cause. Is it my age? As I look the same & I haven’t moved yet things went downhill a few months ago. I mainly use hinge & noticed this drought on all the other apps too, which makes me even more worried considering it seems to be across all platforms. Because of this, I’ve also been second guessing my decision to brush off the guys that previously showed interest in me. At the time I was somewhat interested in a few but either I wasn’t in the mood/doubtful because of negative dating app experiences I dealt with at that time/was too anxious. I question if I genuinely feel regret because this is a delayed reaction or if I’m reminiscing/liking the idea of them since things aren’t going my way at the moment. How can someone be told they’re “attractive” yet quality guys NEVER show them interest in person? If I got attention from these guys from the apps in person, maybe I wouldn’t be as anxious.

29F & I’ve always had this type of deep rooted anxiety when it comes to relationships, I’ve always been a loner & not the friendliest I suppose, to the point where I’m currently content with online/gamer “friends”. There’s this part of me though, that struggles with knowing I’ll never find romantic love. I’m very sure I’m only romantically attracted to men but in a way, I question at times if I really want to be with one long term. Let’s start with: I’m not very affectionate, I don’t trust easily, I get turned off quickly by “innocent” cocky or conceited banter, I’m very antsy about intimacy & not crazy about sex/masturbation to begin with. These might all seem like cop outs because I truly feel the right person will change how I feel about all these “issues”. As a woman I don’t think it’s that rare to not really have much of a sex drive, I keep hearing stories about other women in the same boat that meet their husbands & realize they weren’t “asexual” after all.

I bumped into a male colleague on a night out. We’ve known each other for a couple of years and have a flirty relationship.

When I say drunk, I don’t mean stumbling everywhere and puking their guts up, he seemed pretty coherent and just more sociable if anything.

I, however, was a little more drunk. I admitted to him that I liked him as more than a friend. I asked him if he felt the same way. He kept saying “you’re a lovely person” and I eventually said “just answer the question”. He said yes and we kissed a bit. When he said “yes” he sounded kind of annoyed, like he was very reluctant to admit it.

things were a little awkward at work, but now we are very flirty again. I’ve noticed that when he stares at me, his eyes will look at both of my eyes and down to my mouth. He also looks at me first when he enters a room.

Do you think he meant it? As I said, he didn’t seem overly drunk. Although he claims he “can’t remember” what happened.

I see so many interesting relationship and singlehood questions on here so I was inspired to ask this question. Do you feel like you could live your entire life as a single person and be content with that? , like if you wind up single would you just choose to live the rest of your life single and find contentment in that?
