dating is supposed to be empowering. it’s supposed to make you feel good. it should be about two people, enthusiastically wanting to get to know each other and spend time together. it’s supposed to make you feel good and add joy and fun to your life
if talking to/dealing with/dating/getting to know a person isn’t like that, it’s probably a waste of time
date someone who wants you to be successful in life and would want nothing more than to be with you through the process.

Considering there’s apparently a “TInder Select” only meant for the most bourgeois in the application, do you think there will ever be a “Tinder Clearance Rack”?
A friend’s take as to why I can’t find anybody
I was at a gathering with people, where I happened to meet an individual who was evidently in the midst of dating the same girl who I had an outing with last night.
I decided to ask about their social outings as I was rather curious. They provided such an elaborate, exuberant talk about their experience and the person kept on reinforcing the fact on how things went well. After their several-minute discussion, the individual asked if I knew the girl as well.
“Yeah, I – uh – actually went to dinner with her last night. It was pretty cool.”
“Oh, splendid!” he responded with a chuckle. A long pause. “So…do you think this girl is right for you?”
I couldn’t bring myself to say “yes” or even a “maybe” after hearing about their spectacular dates together.
“I… I don’t know.” I sighed, looking down at my drink.
I woke up from my dream to the darkness of my room.
...I guess one of the first questions I should ask when talking to other people for the first time is “What’s your take on Google?” then?
An OkCupid user
I have a friend (shut up, I do too have friends) who is on one of those dating sites, and is female.
Before, when guys would message her and she wasn’t interested, she’d ignore the messages. And then the guys would send her pissy messages.
Now, when guys message her and she isn’t interested, she replies and thanks them for their interest, but says that she doesn’t think they’d be compatible and she doesn’t want to waste their time, and wishes them luck finding someone more compatible. And then guys are sending her pissy messages.
Which leads me to one inescapable conclusion:
Guys are fragile babies.
(and before anyone “not all men”s me, I, too, am a guy. which means I, too, am a fragile baby. it’s called “recognize and overcome” not “ignore”.)
