intherealworld Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Is anyone else here experiencing a dating famine?! It's just frustrating...and disappointing esp after trying to "get back on the horse" & get your confidence back after a breakup. All I really wanted was to grab some drinks, chat, and see where things go with some guys. But apparently that's asking too much. After a brief stint on OKC & POF I gave my # to 4 diff guys then deactivated. All I've gotten since then has been endless texting, with no prospect of actually meeting up. Honestly I think texting someone you've never met/barely know for weeks but never hanging out is weird, and awkward, and I don't have time for that. Isn't the whole point of OLD to actually MEET UP with the person?! So my friend tells me to just send out a feeler text, something light and joking like 'is there a test I have to pass before we can meet in person? wink face, smiley face, lots of lols' Dude #1 has pretty much eliminated himself from the game because immediately after sending the feeler text he says "let's hang out tonight" so I tell him I'm going out to one of the local bars but he says he's gonna hang in tonight but to come by later if that bar is a bust. Riiiiight..come by your place to drink late at night...I tell him that's a little much for almost being strangers and he agrees but then says "but I'd be okay with it as long as you aren't a creep/weirdo." Um....no... Dude #2 had been aggressively messaging & then texting me, then I send the feeler text & he says he was waiting until he could "prove himself" to me because I said I didn't like younger guys. Which I did...fair enough. But then he continues texting w/o trying to meet up, & last night sends me a picture of shots hes taking out with his friends...uhhhh okay? Finally had a date with Dude #3 last night which went pretty well, but haven't heard a damn word from him since. Guessing he didn't think the same? Supposed to meet Dude #4 tonight but now he says his parents booked him a surprise flight home. Sweet. Amongst other disappointments, I approached this cute guy doing stand up comedy at a local bar the other night & asked for his #, as well as sending the first text. 3 days later the only thing I've heard from him has been "what's your last name for contacts." Clearly not interested. GOOD. LORD. I'm getting an overwhelming sense that the male population wants nothing to do with me right now. Feel like I'm facing rejection from every angle. I'm too much of a catch to deal with flaky guys, guys who want a booty call, or guys who can't swoop on an opportunity when it presents itself. Famine time sucks...when's the feast dammit?!
