I find it baffling if they’re a woman & still stay single, as it’s known women have it easier. The most I do being a 29F is go on dating apps on and off, I’ve been single for several years. It seems like being in a relationship with a man is not possible for me, I get the attention you’d expect as a woman on the app but it doesn’t go anywhere for a multitude of reasons. Which is why I have to ask myself if I’m actually attractive or if everyone in my life is lying to me. In person, I have yet to be approached by a guy I’d actually want to date. I’m not that unapproachable , if supermodels can find love then I feel it’s an excuse when people tell me I’m “intimidating”

We’ve been speaking a little over a week daily & I just pasted a screenshot of our convo very briefly from yesterday. He didn’t reply to my message since yesterday, on hinge, he’s grey & im purple. It’s odd with his response times usually to date, the ball is in his court

I’m purple & he’s grey, for context he wanted my # because I said I don’t use the app often. I said I didn’t feel comfortable, asked if he had social media & he said no, which is why we agreed to speak on app for now.

I'm a 23F, about to be 24, still in college. Though I've been asked out before, not by the right guys, I'd never had a first date. I never had a boyfriend. I have a specific type/look in men that I'm attracted to. But the guys I would seem interested in are either not interested in me or they are not aware of my interest in them. I'm quite quirky in appearance, personality. But I'm very smart, curious, open minded and observant (If you're curious as to why I look like, you can go to this link If I'm pretty like people tell me, how come guys don't ask me out?

I'm also usually forward when speaking with others. After a guy who I fell for didn't return his feelings, I shut out and stopped approaching guys and showing interest, in fear of rejection and just encountering the obvious. It took me months to get over him.

A lot of people in my age bracket are already in relationships, engaged or married. And it seems like they're all pretty much the same in personality, style, common interests and friends. I feel like the odd one out without any experience or proposals. I was raised in the Midwest, but I currently live in the deep south. So that might explain a lot. This not only feels odd to me, but like it's too soon for everyone to be married this young. I want to be in a relationship, but I feel like I'm too weird or quirky for men to handle or to be attracted to. Like I just turn them off right from the start of the conversation or minutes into. So I just keep quiet and too myself, unless someone interesting enough catches my eye. I don't like to waste my time with people who aren't gonna make time for me, benefit me or who I see as fake and toxic. Pretty valid, is it not? I know what I want and what I'm looking for, but I'm open for something different to me.

Could anyone give me any ideas as to why? And if you are or have been through what I'm going through, please give your story. Thank you!

A coworker of mine who I’ve barely spoken to in 10 months started chatting me up when we were sitting in one office. He tried to extend the conversation as long as he could and agreed on everything I said, asked what I did after work that day and what my plans are for the weekend etc. I found this a bit odd since he never tried to talk to me before and I had a feeling he tried to suck up to me a little bit that day. But why? Is he just horny?
