Oh my dog yes, having to try and carry every fucking conversation and then just be ignored.

I gave up, and met my wife IRL in a hobby group.

Average dating app conversation

Hey how's it going?

Good

That's good. I just saw the new movie. What did you think of it?

Haven't seen it

Oh it's great. We can watch it together? I don't mind seeing it again.

Don't like movies

What kind of stuff do you like doing?

Dunno

[-] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 hours ago

Absolutely. Or even better, you ask about something they mentioned they love doing on their profile, and they say they're not into that.

[-] DeeBeeDouble@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Exactly! May I ask, what hobby group was that? Currently thinking about going back to an app but I really don't want to...

[-] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 hours ago

I ... don't want to dox myself so I'll just say it was a gentle sporting activity that's very social.

I wasn't there for dating, it gave us a chance to interact with zero pressure or expectations :-)

I didn't know orgies are hobbies now.

[-] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 hours ago

Hard to believe, but I do activities that aren't centered around sex. Sometimes.

Inconceivable!

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
