Not sure this qualifies as a rant, just me sharing my thoughts on a Monday.

About me: Male, early 40’s, 6’, 190lbs, Caucasian, attractive, self aware, humble, confident, affectionate, great career, executive.

I’ve been single for the past 2 years. I have dated and met some wonderful women. I have also taken time off to just focus on myself, which is incredible. The issue I have are conversations on dating apps are are repetitive, or what’s worse, the conversation is laborious. I don’t even engage when I get a one sentence reply. When I get to many of these experiences I step away from the dating scene and put dating in the back burner. Come back when I’m fully engaged.

I had a FWB that I really cared about, but I had to end it because I’m looking for something with more substance. A partner. What is tough is that I no longer have someone to go out with, stay in with, be intimate with. But this is short term ‘pain’ for long term gain…… right lol

I think I’m no different than the majority of Reddit users in this sub that would love to never be on a dating app again, or maybe it’s just me. I can see both sides. Being single has a lot of advantages, but I personally think having a partner out weighs most of those freedoms being single provides.

Since I ended it with my ‘friend’, I’m now looking for a ‘plus one’ to the city and colour concert. Anyone interested? No strings attached, just a fun time with zero expectations. Either that or I cave and invite her lol

Thanks for reading! Felt therapeutic to write my thoughts and share with you beautiful people, even if it was just me rambling. Thanks for hearing me out.
