I am a NUS graduate, and currently evergreen I didn’t find love during my university days as I was focusing on my studies.
I was never into the idea of using a dating app but my friends had always been encouraging me to.
I find it intimidating to meet and talk to a stranger whom I have never met. Upon my friends’ influence, I tried using it and I had a match with someone whom I thought we could have something more.
I finally mustered the courage to meet him in real life after talking for a month or so and guess what. He brought me to fast food restaurant on the first date and we went dutch.
& He then ghosted me after a few weeks.
I am so done with dating app after this experience and simply do not know if I can ever find love. Please advice… It is so so difficult for me to find love
Netizens’ comments
- You looking for free meal at fine dining restaurant? Idk you looking for boyfriend or ATM. If it’s the latter I think try sugarbook got better luck
- first of all, the venue wasn’t all that bad. What were you expecting, fine dining and free treat? these can come later when you have earning power no need to wait for a guy to provide. Be patient and open to dating different kinds of guys to broaden your mind and fine tune your expectations too.
- Uhhhh so meaning prior to this OP was basically expecting dating apps to be some kind of complimentary all-expenses-paid fine dining experience service?
(How little have times changed; I actually slightly pity my date-seeking straight male friends now) - Well. Shows he’s not pretentious and sensible. Alternatively, there are other more lucrative places u can look for dates.
- Love isn’t something you can “find”. It will happen when it’s meant to happen. Of course, you can take steps to improve your odds of finding a suitable partner. Take care of yourself on all aspects, external grooming, shaping up a personality that people will find appealing and etc. And maybe most importantly, your attitude toward others. Nobody wants to hang around a person who gives off negative vibes.
- When I was in my 20s, I went to the dating apps. I met friends who are also in dating app. On the other hand, I have friends who let nature take its course.
20 years later, my friends from dating app are married, mostly with kids. My friends who let nature take its course remain single.
