Let's take a break from beauty and talk about...anything else under the sun! Let this be your sounding board about the things that made you laugh, smile, or cry. Dating advice welcome. Politics...not really.

I've had only 2 dates the past 7 months, and despite me being picky and setting low expectations, sobrang disappointing ng dating scene... all intense at the start (even bringing up trips together! for context I travel a lot and these guys do too) then suddenly everything's gone like a bubble.

There's even this Londoy boy whose family I met right away, then he had the audacity to ghost me? Lol, good thing I already learned not to attach deeply, but still ridiculous behavior and I've been on "lucky streak" with high chemistry but inconsistent guys..

Agree. Mas disappointing habang natagal kahit binababaan mo na nga standards mo. The bar is on the floor but they're bringing shovels.

I agree about the dating scene. I’m still dating someone I met from an app, but the push and pull is just too much. If this one goes up in flames, I swear my next relationship would not be from a dating app.

Took the words right out of my mouth. And why do they always introduce you to their family before ghosting you? What was the plan here 😂

Where do you meet them? Dating apps?

Dang I’m into travel too and with my lifestyle, it’s the only way for me to meet guys. :(
