Except Adam Johnson was an adult, and the girl he slept with was 15. Nothing like this case at all. Either way, it's just a date with this girl. Who knows where it will go?
What do I have to be worried about? We're both adults. I posted because I'm genuinely interested in what peoples thoughts are regarding age differences, etc.
I'd have no problem with it as a 26-year old. Just be mindful that you are probably in different phases of your life if you are looking for a relationship. But that's really a worry for later.
Yeah, I get that. She's in her second year of university, I'm owner of my own design company. So there is definitely that 'different stage of life' aspect. But, overall, she seems a very bright, mature, young woman. I see no reason why two people eight years apart can't work out.
There's no such thing as closure in life man. People have their reasons and some people might not ever feel comfortable opening up and explain their reasons. I think you should try to disassociate anything that reminds you of her in order to move on and dump the pictures you have with her on a HD since to be honest, it sounded like you had one-itis for the girl.
What about a hike? I don't have a profile anywhere and probably won't until I start raking in some more dough but I was thinking about trying something like that instead of a traditional dinner or whatever
If this happens two or three times, just ask if they want to do something and ask for their number. If you don't get a response, you know they aren't serious anyway. And if you do, you can set up a date right away.How do you guys deal with people who send you such lame responses back?
Like Im being funny enough and all they say is "hahaha, thanks!" or "hahaha, i love those too!"
Meanwhile, Im adding in some typical questions about school and stuff, they answer, but they never ask back
Im sure they are overwhelmed with messages, but it's hard for me to get an actual conversation going. I usually just move on from these, but sometimes I feel like I should be putting in some kind of better effort to stand out. But it's like talking to a wall, and I dont want to overbearingly ask a bunch of lame questions
Also, Id love some opinions on my profile, especially the info I type out. Is it not serious enough, too lame, uninteresting?
If you're in San Francisco, good luck.
If you are the girl in your avatar then I won't believe for a second that you aren't getting any matches. Although, if the self-loathing stuff you post in this thread is any indication of what your Tinder profile reads like, then it'd make more sense, because it's kinda off-putting.
Is that you in your avatar? If so, well, you're far from hideous. Anyone who thinks you are and doesn't match you on POF needs their eyesight tested.
Oh, I completely agree. It's why I now stay away from Tinder. It did no good for my anxiety and/or self confidence. Plenty Of Fish isn't much better, to be honest, but I've been matched and been speaking to a few people who don't really seem to mind how I look, which is good. And there's one girl on OKCupid who I'm talking to who really seems in to me. A lot of these dating/social apps rely heavily on having model looks but, sometimes, on the odd occasion, you come across someone who favours personality over appearance.
). Leeness, for the sake of your well being, I hope you end up with a real decent and upstanding guy (to your liking) who wouldn't be driven nuts by your ultra modesty.
So, just a brief update on my situation from a few weeks ago. I stuck with Match, spruced up my profile a bit with suggestions from you fine helpers here and added a small dash of self-deprecating humor. Well, I've been getting more views! But even with the adjustments made to my first messages, I still don't have a single reply. Two girls messaged me first though. One is out of my racial preference and the other can barely speak English although they both seem like nice people.
And it's not like I am messaging girls clearly way out of my league or anything. It just makes me feel more and more insecure of my looks or how people see me visually.
'Her' excuse was 'she' feels uncomfortable with her body. 'She' hates how small 'her' boobs are, etc. I've requested a photo to be sent on WhatsApp, non-nude, of her holding up a sign with my name written on it, with her doing a peace sign. I'm still awaiting the photo.
