A TikTok scammer DMed this evening. Immediately started asking if I was single and what I was looking for in a relationship lol so I knew right away they were a scammer. The crazy thing is though that they asked where I live and I just gave the state I was in. They then gave me their “location”, which was not only the city I was in but they even named a neighborhood VERY close to me. I’m in a large city so there are tons of neighborhoods and typically people from here will ask “whereabouts in [city] are you?” Just to get an idea of general area since it’s such a big city.

Did this scammer somehow have access to my location or did they make a lucky guess? I don’t have any tagged videos showing my city or state on my page. They’re blocked obviously but I’m kinda weirded out.

So I just got out of a relationship that was 4 years long. My ex and I met on Instagram by accident and everything in the beginning was so extremely easy.

We admitted to each other way later that we had been exclusive with each other almost immediately lol. There were never any guessing games. We were authentic and open from the start. I knew she liked me and she knew I liked her. We never left each other on read, we always showed up. It made me fall for her so quickly.

Our relationship eventually didn’t end up working out because of parenting differences, but it was really good and really easy for so long.

I keep reading on here, elsewhere, seeing on TikTok etc, that dating for lesbians in their 30s+ is fucked (I’m 39). That no one wants to meet up, no one wants to talk, everyone plays games, everyone’s avoidant… blah blah take your pick.

I’m so scared that I’m never going to have an easy getting to know someone stage, easy dating stage, etc ever again. I really just want to fall in love and get married, but from what I’ve seen I’m so scared.

We’ve only been broken up for 3 months so I’m not ready to jump back in yet, but I’m worried.

Please share success stories in the comments! I need to read some. Or commiseration too.
