Awful :I

Nonexistent! Here’s to hoping that there’ll be more approachable queer people in university!

Imaginary

aborting approach

Found someone nice. It was sheer chance, really. Met with a new neighbor and she had a crush on me. Was friends for a while. Years later decided to get into a relationship with her.

Twice married Gen X here. I feel for you all. Genuinely. Had to pop-in and leave a virtual hug for you all.

None of you are commenting on the whys, which tells its own story (and I’m not asking, just noticing).

Null.

Have a primary partner of many years and a few other FWB type situations (enm)

I’ve been in a stable relationship for a couple of years now, and living with her since January this year

Met my current partner at work. The funny part is I had given up completely, after going on dates with enough people, but just not really connecting with any. My previous relationship was haunting me, and I carried a lot of damage from it. I just couldn’t overcome it, so, I gave up. Then, out of nowhere, this gorgeous, kind, bubbly, and incredibly intelligent girl just showed up in an IT orientation I was leading. We started talking eventually, and we’ve been together for 2 amazing years. I know it’s cliché, but sometimes you find what you’re looking for precisely when you’re not looking.

Before that I dated on apps, and I can confirm it was hell. It’s probably changed in the 3 odd years I was using them, but Bumble was by far the best app, at least in my area. On that app, it felt a lot more meaningful than Tinder or Hinge.

How has your dating life been, OP?

Married my high school girlfriend having our first kid. So… Awesome? Have I won dating?

Nonexistent, but I’m not sad or angry over it. I couldn’t care less about it, because I think that I am spiritually a space cowboy, and well, solo adventurers don’t need people or relationships. I’m not a believer of it, but I’ve always leaned a little towards anti-natalism.

What’s that op?
