    Online Dating

    Date 1: PhD in chemistry. Beers at a local place after work. In the process of getting divorced finalized. Cool to talk to, would hang out with again. Find out when moving a few days later that a buddy of mine also has a date with her.

    Date 2: I never found out what she did, but she picked the coolest new spot in town to meet up and belonged. Way cooler than me. Awesome time. Super pretty. Bartends on the weekends at embassy events just so she can go to the after parties. Plays in a football league. Don't think I'll ever hear from her again.

    Date 3: Marie, not her real name but what she goes by. Grad student in environmental policy. We talk on the phone first, she's passionate and smart. Meet for dinner. Grad school has made her pictures no longer representative of her. She mentions she could lose 40lbs any time once she's done. I believe her. She can give me a call then.

    Upcoming:

    Teacher, coffee date tomorrow since we're both off because of the storm.

    Artist, taking to see a play on Thursday.

    Law student, drinks on Saturday night.

    Congressional staffer, possible Sunday night date, or next Friday if the timing doesn't work out.

    World Bank employee who got sent overseas, but we've scheduled a lunch date for when she's back at the end of the month.

    I think that's all? I have like 2 dozen open conversations between Bumble and Tinder. This is just one week, I have no idea how people use these apps all the time, I'm gonna stop here and wait until I've gone through this current list before I see if I want to find anyone else.

    Mostly though it's because I recognize this feeling using the apps gives me. It's a gacha game. Thankfully FFBE has taught me to recognize the symptoms and now I can treat the disease before it spreads.

    Trying to find an app dev, it's given me a concept for my own dating app and I want to do that instead of doing this.

    Before getting into dating you need figure out what you're looking for and why you're dating. Also would you date yourself? Are you working on being your best self physically, intellectually, spiritually and mentally? Also what are hard yes's and no's. Is monogamy a must? How adventurous are you sexually. Figure all that out and more before dating. Saves a lot of time and energy for everyone.

    I would seriously recommend this.
    Ever since OKC was bought by Match.com and gradually had it's usability cut down again and again (and basically morphed into Match's version of Tinder), there has been a gap in the market for a not-shit matchmaking service.

    I have a fairly novel concept as well, I've run it by some friends of mine who've used/are using dating apps and they all see a place for it, I just don't know anything about making apps.

    I just went on gaia online. Talked to this chick for 5 years. And eventually met her and tied the knot.

    Good luck my dude.

    False. Dating is all those things. Before getting into a relationship you need to figure that out. Dating however, is figuring all that out, along with figuring out the person.

    Dated like 2 people my entire life. Dating was definitely not my cup of tea. I always just skipped dating and went straight to relationships with people I already knew super well.

    Are you dating for marriage or because you're lonely. Before you even start dating you need to figure out why you think you want to start dating.

    Like dating just to date, fuck buddies, plugs, companionship, etc.

    Well if you are getting dates from tinder and bumble you are already a step ahead by following rule #1 and #2 which states:

    Be attractive.
    Don’t not be attractive.

    The rest is up to you.

    It's not complex. Dating and relationship are two very different things. Dating, a thing some people do in order to figure out if they want a relationship or not. It's why dating multiple people at the same time is perfectly fine, but someone else might get upset if you're in a relationship with more than one person.
