| Not all bars are made equal, and not all bars are trying to be the same thing. It'll be easier to get a one-night stand out of it than any meaningful relationship so ask yourself what you're doing: -Do you want to meet someone you met online/are still getting to know them better? Dive bars are low-k... |

| I'm feeling better than I was when I posted this. So there's that. I was in a bad spot, and I think I just needed to vent. |

| I'm almost 30. I've been on a lot of first dates. Very few second dates. I met someone this past Saturday, we did dinner & drinks (correction: I drank) before going to a open-mic standup comedy at a nearby coffeehouse. And so far she's fading. Some discussion and initial thoughts are that I'm pr... |

| I went out with someone I met on Bumble this past weekend. We did dinner & drinks before going to a standup comedy night at a local coffee shop. I was into her, and she seemed to be enjoying herself, but I probably missed out on signs of disinterest. I texted her the following night (on Bumble) ... |

| Background: I work full-time as a software developer, and have been self-sufficient for awhile. My brother is fully autistic, and I was always an unknown. Around 2011, I got an ADD diagnosis, and the prescriptions have been a lifesaver for me, but even then I still dealt with a lot of social difficu... |

| It was a first date. The conversation came up because of some discussion about plans to hang out again (the way I always viewed it, "eh" chemistry doesn't mean that we can't be friends, and I did have fun). She mentioned traveling up to Indiana for a wedding, conversation became about her ... |

| So I went on another date last night. We met on Whisper, where I had posted that I had been on 50-something first dates with only 6 or so second dates. We started talking several weeks ago, had similar interests, she had cute photos, so we finally met last night. We went for drinks/videogames at an ... |

| I moved for work several years ago, but an old neighbor invited the family to their daughter's wedding. As a result, I was invited (I've not been invited to any weddings that weren't the result of my family being invited). My sister's boyfriend cancelled at the last minute, and so my roommate (if we... |

Does she work there? She may have been fishing for a tip.
Does she not work there? She might have thought you were kind of cute. Or she was being nice. It doesn't mean you have a green light to her heart as is. Play it by ear, see if she bites. |

| *shrug*, looks like it's a rebound. She had plenty of time to text back after I did, and she only did text me three months after I had first messaged her. I don't have time for that sort of thing. Ah well. |

| Meeting people has usually been difficult; I've always been socially on edge, hyper self-conscious about doing or saying the wrong thing. I don't meet women effectively. And so of the 50-something first dates I've had, only two of them I had met in person beforehand. The rest, I've met either throug... |

| You should date some. You'll get a better idea about what you actually want, and whether what you say you want is actually what you want. (Wanting a stay-at-home conservative kid-raiser is potentially stressful from a "you use my money up" vs "you don't do enough around the house"... |

Over the past few months, I got... |

| I'm usually the more technical/analytical type, and have generally found myself usually more attracted to artistic/idealistic types as a whole. I'm honestly not sure if that's because I'm looking for a foil in my other half, or if it's a chauvinistic idea of what a woman should be (like a more sedat... |
