Welcome to r/datingadvice! Please keep the rules of r/datingadvice in mind while participating here. Try your best to be kind. Report any rule-breaking behavior to the moderators using the report button. If it's urgent, send us a message. We rely on user reports to find rule-breaking behavior quickly. It makes it hard to stay on topic and ruins the flow of a conversation. It also makes it less likely she'll actually read everything you wrote. 2.) Don't be afraid to send more than one message. This is not a contradiction to rule 1. Basically, don't feel like there are strict dating rules you have to follow.
This is a sub that intends to be positive about dating, sex, and relationships over 40, and that includes being positive or at least civil towards all genders and life stages.
I've seen a lot of men's profiles repeatedly using the word 'loyal' when describing what they'd like in a date/relationship, which really just makes me think they've been cheated on or felt betrayed by women before, but to me 'loyal' is more of a description you'd use for your pet beagle or something. It grosses me out in dating profiles. I'd like to know the 'trigger' (ick) phrases which make you swipe left in these hardship dating times!
How To Stay Positive And Happy
Edit: Holy moly! Did not expect this many responses! So enjoying reading them all and hope you guys are as well! Very interesting!
For context, I’ve just gone to uni and am newly single so I’m sleeping around a fair amount right now. For some reason most of the guys I’ve been interested in or who have shown interest in me are in the 24-28 year old range, some in uni too, some not. A couple of my friends have told me that’s too old for me but I don’t agree. I just want to check what the general consensus is to make sure I’m not missing anything: is it weird for them to be interest in having a sexual relationship with me and I’m just not seeing it?
I know what I want, how to communicate it clearly and how to stay safe so I always feel in control of the situation despite being a good bit younger than who I’m sleeping with. I just want to know if them reciprocating my advances is a red flag about them? Especially because I doubt I’d ever be interested in an 18 year old when I’m that age.
Due to a pretty rough childhood and the fact I’ve been financially independent and lived myself, away from any family, since I was 16 means I suppose I’m pretty mature for my age so perhaps that’s why? I’d love a second opinion anyway, what do you think? Normal, a red flag, or no way to tell?
