Jc396 Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Im 24 and got out a 5yr relationship about 6 months ago. I think I'm ready to date again but I haven't dated since high school and I know things have changed. Currently I am also working to drop weight since the relationship nearly doubled my size :/ I know until I drop the remaining weight, my pickings are going to be slim but I kinda don't want to wait until then before I start. So far I have tried tinder and plenty of fish and I haven't had much success with either. It seems like the guys that I meet on there either want something serious immediately, only sex, or randomly stop texting/messaging me. I have also recognized myself as being over eager, gullible, and overthinking when it comes to dating which I know is an issue. Can anyone help me with dating advice? 1
hoully81 Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Do not let your weight hold you back. Focus on losing the weight for your health not so much your looks. Go to places that have your interests. If you like music then go to a local place that plays your type of music and hang out and talk to people even if you do not find them attractive or not really your type. Just get the practice of talking to people and who knows they may have a friend that would be perfect for you? If you like to volunteer maybe spend a Saturday volunteering and if you meet someone there you can ask them if they would like to go immediately after volunteering for a quick drink or sandwich. Puts the pressure off the first date stuff as you would both be in "volunteer" gear and have at least something to talk about. Do not be afraid to ask a guy out. If he does not give you a yes or schedules a different time. move on. Also Tinder has a reputation for a hook-up App. If your looking more for a relationship I recommend Match. 1
