Curious to hear from fellow single gay New Yorkers…
I was much more intentional with my dating this year (specially the 2nd half of the year) as I am at a point in my life where I am ready to share life experiences with a partner.
All have to say is what a disappointing turnout. And mentally & emotionally exhausting.
Me: early 30s, 5’10 and fit/in-shape, successful, easy going. Into live & electronic music, travel, art, etc
From the dating apps (hinge, raya) to grindr to guys I’ve met out at parties…it feels like single guys in my targeted age range (26-38) are all so damn jaded or so afraid of any type of commitment?
I gave the hookups with open relationship guys a break (they seem to be always so much more available than single guys? Lol). I tried to turn the multi-hook up single guys into casual hang outs/dates (mostly leading into rejection or ghosting) and feel like most 1st/2nd dates were hard to turn into anything more (not-compatible or got ghosted).
My other single early-mid 30s friends also continue to struggle with the same issues as me. All making the same comment that the guys they’ve seen single on the dating apps for the last 2 years, still pop up single now. Or that they are consistently getting ghosted and even hook-ups don’t become repeats.
Anyone else feel the same?
