Well, I lied. I became quite active after a while. Now I look back, I think I can call myself a talented apprentice in this world. I’ll share some details when my mind is clear and when I finish work (seems to be impossible to meet that day). I set a golden rule for this things:
“Online dating app is a quick solution for sex, loneliness, and boredom, or a mix of all 3. All basic human needs."
It’s really nothing shameful or should be judged if you know it and admit it and don’t challenge it with your crystal clear kind heart.
To admit you’re not a Saint is the way to having some burdenless fun, really.
You’re here for sex, too. And if he is way out of your league, you can claim him as “a friend" to protect your ego. But if he’s that and wants to go further then WHY NOT? But if he’s not that attractive then it has to depends on how much time you have, how far you are from your place, how bad were your days that you need a cuddle even it’s not that high quality one, and need to estimate will he send greetings 3 times (good morning, afternoon, night) a day after an awkward date (apparently he didn’t figure that) which you can’t care less and only read them when the greetings are already not matching present time. But if it seems fine and his personality is cooler than he looks, then it’s a go, if not, you can tell him you need to meet someone later so “it’s fun, we should do it next time." and block him later. If he’s really not your type, tell him from the beginning you got something to do later and really need to leave in an hour and you’re very sorry and will make it up to her next time. (and block him later)
There’s always a way to guard your precious time, don’t be naive. Think about it, if you’re a single parent like me or simply has obligations in life (which I believe everyone somewhat does), you leave your kids (or someone you care and value the most in life) for this, it has to deserve that which means you have to at least have fun, no matter what fun that is, tolerating a dull date is like mars to earth, far away from fun.
