Online dating and dopamine

Someone liked me and we talked for a while i even got some compliments…then i ranted about alopecia areata. I think i was subconsciously trying to ruin my chances. She stopped talking to me lol.

She clearly can’t hang :sweat_smile:.

No big loss, although it still sucks in a way.

Rejection stings, but there’s somebody out there who will dig you for who you are.

Its weird she had my pics so knows about my hair… it may have just been a red flag that i mentioned an insecurity?

Maybe it depends on how long you guys were talking.

If it was like, the first convo, then it may be a little too soon.

But after a bit, when you two had gotten to know each other a little more, there’s nothing wrong with sharing something that makes you uncomfortable— it’s just being human, in my opinion.

I’m on Bumble and I was talking to a lady for a little while but she unfollowed me when I updated my profile to mention my schiz.

Oh well!

Some people just suck.

She probably has no idea what schizophrenia even entails.

Online dating story time:

Once, waaaaaay back in the day, I met up with someone I had been talking to online.

He ended up being an awful person, and made fun of my eyebrows, saying they reminded him of Uncle Leo’s eyebrows from Seinfeld.

This is Uncle Leo:

:sob: :rofl:

She probably thought I was psychopath who kept his embalmed mom in the cellar.

(Psycho reference).

Haha, yes.

And when we met up he had a burger and I ordered a big salad.

Sadly, he missed his chance with that one.

If she didn’t bring you pastries as a first date present then chuck her to the curb rn :sweat_smile:.

But seriously though, as a pastry chef there’s lots of things one could talk about. Seems pretty interesting.

She told the story about how the cooks for her birthday made a gigantic penis cake for her her cake in the shape of a penis and her story was a complaint because it was about how horrifically chauvinistic her workplace was and I can believe it but other than that we just didn’t have anything to talk about. Amd then she kept talking about how shes into toys… im not super into that stuff so it was like obvious i was just going to get out of there asap. In retrospect i should have stayed lol. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

If they woulda asked me if I wanted a piece of cake, I would have had no choice but to respond with “just the tip.”

But yea, I see where she’s coming from. Can be hard in a male-dominated industry, and a penis cake might make one feel uncomfortable also. That’s like blatant sexual harassment if one’s not cool with those folks.

But yea, it’s tough finding things to talk about on first dates— that’s why activities are always good. Like bowling or one of those paint and sip places, or a walk or something.
