In March, I suffered a failed engagement (I knew him in high school and reconnected at a party).
Immediately started swiping on Tinder. A handful of conversations. 2 offline meets. Both I will NOT be taking with me into 2017.
One is flakey -- including whether or not sex/conversation will even be good. It's good sometimes. He shows up drunk othertimes. Not even worth it in an FWB.
The other shipped up at last check. I wish him luck. The shipped one was actually a reconnect from before my relationship. We met offline almost immediately because I remembered our rapport. Sometimes pen-palling is good.
Deleted Tinder recently due to shitty algorithms. Fetlife I used infrequently because I couldn't get my schedule to work with munches :( but it still offered 3 offline meets.
First was a dropped conversation from before my relationship.
The second was a classified that I answered. 5 dates over the summer a winter reconnect. Unsure if I want to continue into 2017.
The third is why I'm unsure about second. He was new to the site but the conversation was ideal. The sex was good. I am going to ask him about exclusivity after a few more good dates.
Plenty of dropped chit chats. My advice for Fetlife is definitely have face pics behind the friend wall, keep up close dick pics to a minimum, fill out the profile earnestly, go to munches, and don't bitch about "is anyone real on here!" Because obviously...I was.
Edit: there was a 4th. I forgot about him. I probably accidentally faded. Poor guy. But I'm not interested, so I don't think it's worth it to reach out and apologize.
Answered a few Craigslist personals...
- ...but then had an email address SNAFU. I won't say "never again", but definitely not again for a while.
And lastly OKCUPID. Joined sometime in the summer.
Had 2 note-worthy lovers, one I'm remaining friends with.
2 one-night-stands.
Scores of chit chats that didn't catch my eye
one long distance thang unfortunately shipped before our tryst so it blew off coolly as nevermets.
Oh, and I crushed on an Uber driver.
All-in-all, it's been a good year. I learned a lot.
