Why is online dating so discouraging? Im 28F, and I WFH and honestly I’m a homebody. When I do go out it’s not my intention to look for a man. Today I am on tinder and 42+ year old man asks me for my number, so I tell him I’d like to chat more first and know his intentions . He asks me what my intentions are on a “dating app” . I say I’m looking for something serious . No hook ups. He tells me I’m goofy and hooked up too many times and now want marriage. And hopes I get saved. I know I am a little socially awkward as well . But why is this a response that a man would give to a woman when you can simply say that you are not looking for the same ? It’s so sad the lack of respect that we have for one another . Especially when behind a screen
