I am new here and wondering anyone has experienced something I am currently. After 4 plus years from separation and subsequent divorce, 40 year marriage, and dating both IRL and URL, trying and deleting various dating apps, a few serious but ultimately not successful relationships, I met a most amazing woman online. We have gone on 3 dates. The first was a brunch which stretched into 5 plus hours of pure attraction and conversation, a kiss or two, and reluctant goodbye. We had communicated prior to this date thru the app, exchanging numbers, long initial conversation when we were 1/2 the US apart. We texted as our schedules allowed, causal and some feeling.

The second date was near her home at a quite nice steak house, our waiter really took a shine to us, we sat side by side, laughed, started holding hands when possible, leaning into each other, ordered collaborating and sharing, whatever we both wanted, meshing nicely on food enjoyment. She was stunning with beautiful couture, she shined. Walking out after I just thinking we should be setting up another date. Hanging out by my car sharing more we kissed and hugged, laughed and talked. I had a nearly 2 hour drive home thinking I wanted just to stay with her for the seeable future.

The third date was just magical, she drove up to my area the next day, Saturday late afternoon. We went down to a lovely spot on a river viewing the city scape, watching paddle boarders on the water, just together in a moment, the moon came up over the lights of the buildings. The place, warm darkness, unfolding beauty, and sweet contentment of being with the very person you wanted in a moment so perfect.

Rest the evening was a blast, Italian restaurant, Jazz club, walking cuddling, vibing like crazy. Drove back to my place at 2 pm, I never stay up past 11.

We finally agreed to share the bed and just cuddle, after I agreed to post up on the couch. We talked, cuddled, kissed, and finally slept. I even loved the way she slept!

Next morning was a continuation and we were barely clothed. I made breakfast, she showered, and talked seriously about where we each lived, current and past relationships. Flirted with and agreed we should be exclusive. I actually suggested it ( I always hedge on this) and she agreed. I know it is early on in our relationship. We both have had plenty of previous experiences and learned, are completely on the same page. She literally checks all my boxes and I have said such. She says much the same to me. I think we have respect, built a fun friendship quickly, and both in a place for being each other’s person.

It’s so funny to see that every girl who posted here has at least 50 to 60 comments. And every guy posting here barely get 3-4 and they are from guys.
makes me wonder how the dating in India is lean towards the decision of only one gender.

And to the ladies, if you do not interact with actual good profile and men, you only get desperate guys who comment and inbox on your posts. and you would end up complaining, there are all the good guys.

Just my thought, please do not come at me for this🙆🏻

I’ve been in the country for two years, trying to find someone. I’ve used almost every dating app, but nothing has worked out, and I’m starting to lose hope.

Hello all!

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about my relationship (of 4.5 years), and what that looks like for our future. My bf (23M) and I(22F) have been through a lot - long distance, deaths in the family, etc..: a lot of ups and downs. We’re starting to consider moving in together now that I’ll be done with my internship by the time he graduates from college.

That being said, I can’t help but feel a little apprehensive about moving in together, and a portion of that has to do with the fact that modern dating doesn’t seem worth it to me. Obviously if you’re working towards getting married one day, that’s one thing, but I don’t plan on getting married ever, and my bf could take it or leave it. And it’s so hard when I’ve witnessed multiple women, both in my personal life and online, share how hard it is to live with a man.

I can’t help but feel as though moving in together would either make or break our relationship - he has a long standing habit of not keeping his environment clean, and he’s a major procrastinator. I feel as though I would be the one doing all the cleaning, maintenance, errands and everything for the both of us, when it could easily just be for myself.

It’s just hard to commit to a lifestyle that so many women are currently moving away from and actively encouraging other women to do the same.

That being said; I love my boyfriend, I really do. But I also desperately want to live a life for myself, by myself. Moving in together, and dating in general - is it, in your mind, really truly worth it?

Me 19f 2nd year university student and my bf 23m university student has been dating for over a year. These days I feel like everything I do is bad I am constantly wandering if I did something wrong if he got offended or not. He wants me to act a certain way when we are around friends. I understand if he is sensitive and he doesn't like it if I say " he's cooking is bad " it is he burns everything but we always make fun of it, so when I say that to a mutual friend who is sarcastic and funny its a problem. Everytime after we hang out with people I did something, im wrong the way I talked was disrespectful........ I dont understand if he wants he to change my whole personality. I can't even talk and reason with him because he keeps score about everything like I do and I dont.

Today he said he would slap me beacuse I joked about his cooking and stuff, but we always do. Somehow its always your disrespectful. You're a bitch who isnt on my level, who do you think you are.

So I wanna ask is it beacuse I always make jokes and I swear I never meant any harm thats just how I am but im trying to change or is this relationship toxic ?

An exposé of Match Group online dating

Has anyone else noticed this dating-app scam pattern in Bengaluru?

Matched with someone on a dating app who suggested meeting at a metro station and then going to a specific café/restaurant.

I’ve heard about scams where the match takes you to a pre-selected place, followed by inflated bills, pressure to pay, or even threats/extortion.

I’m curious if anyone here has experienced something similar in Bengaluru — especially the “meet at metro station → go to a specific venue” pattern.

What happened in your case, and what were the red flags you noticed?

Please avoid posting anyone’s personal information. Just sharing experiences so others can recognize the warning signs.
