It's always the same. Intense interest and then... pushing me away and nothing

This happens to me all the time.

For me, the big obstacle is finding someone with the same interests.

I made a fake female profile on a dating site. Didn't even have a picture, just a meme account. It's the exact same account that I used as a fake male profile, only I changed it from male to female.

There's literally dozens of times more matches now than there was when it was male, and the account is being liked left, right, and center. It literally took seconds to see for myself just how utterly skewed the ratios are. The women are completely over-saturated in choice that it's no bloody wonder most guys just get ghosted by everybody and their auntie.


And not only only that, half of the women are transgender and most of the other half are married women or single moms.


......or they're fake accounts created by people trying to prove a point.

Oh! I've found someone with the same interests. It's awesome. But... it's juggling feelings and friendship and stuff that's difficult.

I still don't know if my friend likes me as just a friend or not.

I'm swaying towards not.

Have you asked him out for a dinner?

And it well and truly proved the point, lol. Seriously Hurtloam, try online dating. Unless you're hideous there is zero chance of you not finding a guy. You have a huge selection of choice and almost no competition. You can't lose.

This thread is about friendships, not online dating.

Please stick to the topic.
