Ok so I’ve been looking (hunting) on Hinge recently. I downloaded it and thought I’d give it a go. (Yes I’m trying to online date even from my hospital bed 😂🤣😭😅).

I matched with a guy, he messages me, I respond, he then takes forever to reply my responses to him.

He’s asked to meet, I agreed (lol I keep forgetting I’m currently an inpatient 😂) he’s then suggested me coming to his house and “promises to behave himself”.

I’ve said no and lo and behold he’s unmatched me.

Where are the decent men?! Who excepts a date to a random persons house?

Will I ever meet a guy?! I can’t die alone 😂

I haven't been single in a good few years, but went through all of this. Glad to see nothing has changed 😂 it's rubbish isn't it! I ended up with someone I already knew , when we matched on a dating app. Good luck people!

Where are the decent men?! But who excepts a date to a random persons house?

You should say ‘I’m already bed bound but not in the way you'd hope’ I’m here all day 😂

I love that haha but he unmatched me after I responded no to meeting at his house! But honestly ridiculous. Who wants to go to a guys house first date he could be a murderer.

In all seriousness, I am just really worried I will not meet anyone.

I shielded for 6 months but I had all the faith when I started this thread that maybe I may manage to find some to go on at least a date with.

Summer came and went, covid is still out there and we may have another lockdown. 🤯 what is a girl meant to do?

Ladies what do you think to this....

A man I'm chatting to on Tinder has just told me his last 3 relationships have all been just 5 years long each.

I got a few alarm bells.... Am I being silly?

Don’t go looking for love. It will come to you when it’s ready x

Does sound like a 5 year itch situation... I’d be nosey and ask for more info 😂

Yes that's what I thought! He said they all mutually fell out of love at that point, he did make a point earlier though that he left his last relationship 🤔. He seems okay apart from that... Maybe I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.... For now 🤣

I agree with @YorkshireFox

So I’ve been talking to a guy since end of June, he’s had to move back to London for work, he was living nearer to me during lockdown, about an hour away. Anyway we get on really well, into similar things, he has a masters in engineering, does tv production now, he was ringing me and leaving voice notes, keeps asking to meet but I care for my dad with dementia so I’m slightly worried about meeting due to covid. Anyway, yesterday he messaged saying he was going to the protest at Trafalgar Square, I try and keep an open mind as I know he doesn’t agree with lockdowns, I just replied well try not to get arrested ;) anyway my gut was thinking oh god is he into extremism?!?. So I found his twitter today and he’s following a load of QAnon profiles, Donald Trump and Crypto currency profiles, it’s kinda made me feel rather uneasy. QAnon has Nazi right wing undertones. I was really hoping this guy was the end of my bad run and something to hope and look forward too. I’m 40 and he’s 38, so near my age for a change. I have a habit of attracting younger guys as I don’t look my age and they tend to want some sort of Mrs Robinson arrangement. I’ve not been called anyone’s gf since age 23, I’m not upset about being single, I’m quite independent but I would really like someone to share experiences with. I just find dating so draining sometimes and now I feel I’m back to square one.

I think the fact he’s been messaging you since June and you still haven’t met in person shows that he seems interested. I would at least want to meet up with him in person and discuss your concerns before writing him off.

Thank you, it’s just so hard when you get that gut feeling, just I find with me it’s usually right. 😬
 
Well at least tell him why rather than ghost him!
Oh yeah I don’t ghost, I’ve been on the receiving end of that too many times. In fact this guy when he moved back to London went quiet for two weeks so I thought he’d lost interest

Have you heard from him since the protest? Hope he didn’t actually get arrested!
