I didn't realize you're over 35. You act like you're in elementary school

see most guys use the shotgun approach, shoot and hope you hit something

i use the sniper approach, find a match and start doing research on a similar topic you like and then slide in the DM's

Not creepy or surprising at all

1) keep it tight
2) have a good job and good money management
3) keep up the yoga

All of those combined keep the field open to quality candidates

I know a guy that has a quarterly trip to Vegas to clear his head. Nice guy, older, completely socially capable, well off. Doesn't want the drama of a full time night woman, would rather rent one that he can pick out trim package on and return to the dealership when he's done.

I'd be willing to bet that he has a LOT of unresolved childhood trauma.

It sucks.
Why does it have to suck?

I'm about a year away from reentering the dating pool and I'll be 37. I'm dreading it very, very, very much.

It sucks because people don't know what they want, or they have a lot of unresolved sh/t that they've failed to / refused to deal with which makes them infuriating or hella f/cking annoying,

Dunno, seems to have his ish together. I've never pried beyond his simple explanation because it made enough sense to me.

You people act like dating in your 20's was any better. Same crap, different decade.

Went on a lights out date a few weeks ago. We pretty much hung out at her place all night. Started out playing games and drinking, some music videos and what not. Then started lighting up some weed and vaping it. Things slowly grew more intense and we finally started doing it. She was a blast to hang out with and treated me like royalty. It didn't work out in the long run but she certainly lit a fire deep in me to get out there.

No, the date I just described was way better than anything that happened in my 20s.

You might have mentioned this casually 90 or 100 times in the last week.

I'm sorry. I was reminiscing about war with a fellow veteran. I'll stop now about my lights out date. Lol

"met a cool chick but she dumped me pretty much immediately and now I can't stop talking about her"

You can't use the term "didn't work out in the long run" for a chick that you didn't even get a 2nd date with. It makes you sound desperate and crazy . You gotta hide that better

you should probably record yourself reciting all the details because it sounds like you may need to reminisce about it for a long time if you don't up your game.
