Yeah I know dating apps bad etc

I paid 17 dollars for the week pass allowing me unlimited likes 💀 of course because I’m desperate and they force you into that choice because using it for free you only get 5 free likes a day lmao. The problem is NOBODY fucking responds back to my messages, I’ve had 2 conversations out of 20 matches, one of the convos died after I asked them out, the other convo just ended abruptly for no apparent reason. It’s really demoralizing to say the least but I just don’t understand, if they don’t like me and accidentally sent a like they should just unmatch right away but they don’t.

The future is grim. How does anyone meet anyone anymore?

      You have to just find 1 friend with a healthy social life and everything becomes instantly easier since you’ll regularly meet their friends,

      Guess I need to find better friends because I have a couple of these and I’ve never met any of their friends lmao

        Hmm, they may also just think you don’t vibe with their other friends tbh

        Like I rarely host big social functions myself despite saying the above tbh because my friends are just so different from each other. Like I do not want to have a party with extroverted liberal tech bros, introverted straight edge career artists, chronically online ex-4chan commies, druggie “burnouts”, etc.

        I’ve had small 2-4 people hangouts before and they usually don’t go that well even when I try to pick people that I think would vibe well with each other

          This is all true and what I figure to be the case too. Just feels like maybe I don’t truly vibe with anyone and that I’m just the token “weird” friend.

          Then again, a couple of them have also said they’d introduce me to some potential dates but then just never brought it up again so idk.

            If it makes you feel better I rarely get invited to big social functions either lmao, maybe like once every few months

            I’m just making friends with a bunch of other weirdos who accept my weirdness but also recognize I cannot vibe with most people
