Search Results: harder to approach when you really like her

27F, I’ve officially come to terms with the fact I’ll end up alone. I’ve been on and off the apps for years, I really don’t think I’m that unattractive but the dating apps have indicated otherwise. I get a good bit of matches and guys reach out, it always either dies out or it isn’t reciprocated from the guy or I. I’ve tried almost every app, paid and free. I have one app installed, there was one time last year where I deleted the app for 6 months. Currently, I swipe on profiles maybe every other week or reply to messages 2-3 times per week. I don’t have friends so the apps are my only avenue considering I’m a homebody. I do know they work for some though, people have said I’m cute/attractive etc but guys never approach me in person. I used to purposely hold back and try to play hard to get, now I’m at the point where I have to force myself to open the app and remember to reply to this guy and so forth. I don’t want kids, id be down to get married but really worry about the reality that id have to be sexual knowing guys urges and so. I am not sexual, I haven’t had sex or masturbated in years. Maybe the right guy will change that?
Also, certain things about guys kinda turn me off, almost every guy I’ve known including my dad who I’m close with has dickish/macho tendencies and I don’t have patience for it lol.

TL;DR: does it sound like my dry spell/bad luck with dating apps stem from lack of interest? Or am I bitter?

I’ve been chunky, slim and currently slim/thick. No changes in the amount of attention I get from guys, on and off dating apps for years. I’m at a point the past few months where I check the app/swipe on profiles/send msgs maybe 2-3 times per week. I really don’t believe dating is this hard for the average woman, most women don’t really have to work to find a guy they like. I get matches/msgs but they fizzle out and I’ve had more bad “dates”/video calls than good. I’m almost thirty and accept that if I’m this old with no success, maybe it’s a sign to toss in the towel and accept it as it is. I’ve been told I’m cute/attractive, I use the apps because guys never approached me in person. At the back of my mind it’s a “not worth it” dialogue & don’t really have the desire. I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with me, it just hasn’t happened for me. Can confidently say I’ve never been approached or went on a date with a guy I really really liked, I’d rather be alone vs settle I feel like I could’ve settled if I wanted but not worth it.
