Recently, my app and irl interactions start off light but slowly morph into more serious conversations about wanting a committed relationship/long-term partner. I tell them I am not interested in that atm and the conversation ends.
There’s nothing wrong with being upfront, but It’s never subtle. It’s always a melodramatic explanation of how bad dating is, how they are tired of getting played, finally in another stage of life, etc.
I ask myself if the vibe I give off is one of a sucker or a man that carries himself too seriously for them to assume I want a relationship off the rip
