I’ve been single for 5 years now, and not really in any rush to “settle down” or “find the one”, but I’ve been on a numerous dates, have dated several people for a month of two, but it always seem to fall apart one way or another.

I’m not ugly, and think I’m pretty fun to be around/positive, funny, maybe a bit eccentric, but nothing too bad by any means.

I have no idea why I struggle with dating and maintaining relationships, so I wanted to know if there was any way how I can see what it’s like dating me from the opposite perspective?

    This right here is the answer.

    Personally, I had to get off the dating apps and meet someone through my real life social networks. The apps were somewhat fun, but they promote a dating culture where everyone is “disposable” and everyone has a feeling there might be someone better if they keep swiping.

    It’s easy to form a more meaningful connection when you have other things bringing you together beyond an app (mutual friends, school, work, shared hobby, etc).
