    ****ing hate all this tinder **** but it's the only way really I can find someone. Too shy to chat up women on nights out (do lads still do that ??).

    I don't take a great picture so it's a disadvantage for this type of sites

    I work in retail and have a lost a bit of self confidence through that cause I talk so quite and some people don't get that and react badly

    I'm reasonably happy like (roughly that age group)....still get pissed off an odd time etc

    But life Is good by and large...healthwise there's so many worse off than me

    Obv il never own a house,or be rich....but I recently spent time with 2 people who are dying and reallly don't want to/unable to accept it

    And personally at least all my struggles/issues are nothing...even if I was to die in morning....I'd be happy with what I've done with mine



    ...not to dismiss what's making you unhappy...but would you want to date a unhappy 29YO girl

    I admire the optimism, sorry about the unwell people in your life, I've a fairly young aunt that's very ill with MS and I was out with her recently to visit and she's in the final stages of it, tough seeing someone basically a prisoner in her own body. Terrible disease, wish I could take her pain away. And there is no cure for it. It's very unfair.

    As for me, like I'm 29, I'd like to see some progression in my life, like when I was 21, I expected to be a lot further along by this time, like in a steady job/steady relationship, worked hard on both things, lost the relationship after I made so many compromises for it, some of my employment prospects got f**ked up because of it and I basically had to start all over again, it's a long story. And I'm working on upskilling right now but like I want what any typical 29 year old wants. Kind of feel like, whats left of my youth is going out the window. I'm in my prime here like, and wasting it on these f**king dating apps.

    If that's how you feel about it then you should probably try something different. OD is not for everyone.

    Join the club, I've asked out the odd person on nights out and even sober but it's rare I would find someone I liked enough or got that spark where I felt I should ask. I say if someone catches your eye, and you get a thing going with someone you're acquainted with, sure ask her out, you've nothing to lose.

    I don't take a fantastic picture either, I don't like to smile in photos that much, I'm more of a smirker so I'll do that, just take a few selfies, not too close up, angle the phone, and throw up one or two full body shots, with friends is optional. If you're quiet in speech, I would say just work on it, as long as you're chatty and can listen well you're golden I think. But I've been complaining on here all day too, dating apps are for the thick skinned, I don't know if I am anymore, but good luck finding someone dude.

    Sorry to hear on your aunt

    Your ambition and drive to up skill is to admired and will stand in the long term


    Noone has it figured as much as there social media let's on....those lads with the new cars etc....mostly PCP and don't own em

    Mostly Anyone you see posting about a perfect life on facebook etc are mostly using likes to boost enselves and cover over huge cracks in their personal lives....



    Why not just not bother with the apps and if yous never meet anyone...what harm like??

    Nothing is worse than feeling your wasting your life and frustrated??
    (Be that on apps,crappy friends,dole/jobs ya hate etc)....yous get only 1 crack at life...

    It's not worth wasting it doing same thing over and over getting frustrated and expecting differevt results

    >>sorry for rambling
