So I'm past 30yo and today I tried to get back into dating. I've joined a discord and most of them are around the age of 20. It feels alien too me to have so many short (1 to 5 words) sentences followed by cat gifs. Not sure if I can do this. I need deeper meaning and longer sentences. :(

Your username is "send me nude girls" , and you're talking about socializing for dating purposes on discord. You might be approaching this on hard mode.

Might I suggest going out in person? Meetups, bars, shared activities, heck even tinder.

My username is more of a joke than anything. I get the first impression vibes though.

You're right about finding outside activities, I need something to build my self worth.

I'd recommend you filter by age, and don't date anyone younger than 25 if you are actually looking for a relationship.

25 is already stretching it. I have a good 25 years old friend and he's often talking in Twitch emoji language. No fucking joke.

Agreed. Well at least you are not walking blindly into this

Good luck, it's always tough to date past 20s

I'm an introvert. I'm basically fucked

Discord is tricky because most of it is filled with teens. If you specifically search for 21+, 25+, 30+, etc. communities, you'll have a much saner time in my experience. They do exist out there, but I don't know how many are dating focused.

I'm not mentally ready for over30 parties (but I agree)

That's fair. I feel like mostly I specifically find 18+ and 21+ communities anyway. Since I don't want teens, 21+ is what I tend to shoot for and there are still a fair amount of them.

Although I've stumbled into 25+ servers before. These are the most preferable to me because by that point most people are out of school so they are more relatable.

Introvert too, still managed to get a girlfriend. There is hope

[–] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks bro, I needed this.

Doing alright, a bit sore from yesterday workout - had a cup of coffee and will start soon my workday, only one meeting scheduled and right at the end so not too bad

It's alright, making small progress on a personal project. My feet are cold though, and it's supposed to be full spring here yet we're having cold damp days.

Had a fun debate with some civil engineering friends about city design,hexagonal layouts. I'm on my third cup of coffee.

Not well. In a dark place today. Hoping this week goes better than the last.
