AUSTIN DATING

---

God yes, how the fuck do all these women afford to travel all over the world so damn much? I figure they're using OKC to find guys with good-paying jobs to pay for the trips People in Austin really do do this though. I know when I was at UT nearly everybody I knew claimed they went backpacking in either Europe or South America at least a month and in a lot of cases they submitted proof of their claims. The only friend I had who had a job never went backpacking anywhere.

I have a neighbor who is very similar. She's a nurse western medicine, I think , reiki master obviously not western medicine , lived in Nepal for a year giving out free acupuncture to the needy, and literally told my dad she couldn't understand how anyone could want or work at a full time job.

Welcome to Reddit,

Granted this is in California but I used to live in Austin and she would fit in there. We just wrote every girl on Match's profile.. Oh wait, don't forget the "I never know what to say in these things ; ".

The last one I had I got bored with so I just wrote bullshit binary so my profile was "" and so on. Match told me it wasn't appropriate.

I was a vegan pseudo hipster when I lived in NYC. Since moving to Austin I've thrived in every bit of the culture. Everything from Texas BBQ to making beer. I still don't understand the beard culture. I had one once in my life, but with the heat down here I can only imagine how itchy it would get. OK, since I seem to be criticizing everyone else's profile on these sites, here's mine - weluckywho on OKCupid. I have no doubt I'm guilty of probably 12 different cliches I wasn't even aware of -. I'm know my profile has a few cliches that were discussed, but I'm also a pretty typical dude working an office job.

There isn't that much that's unique about me and I'm not selling myself as that. I like all the same shit everyone else likes, I am average looking, I think Big Bang Theory is kinda funny, and I don't give a fuck where the beef in my cheeseburger was sourced from. On OKC I get the feeling so many people think they're the most unique snowflake in the world, and they try hard to express things that they're confident nobody else would express but they end up being the worst cliches of all.

I get it, you're an avid reader and you like that obscure author nobody has heard about that has written two shitty novels. That's cool, just understand that doesn't make you that unique because I can find 50 other profiles of avid readers who list other shitty obscure authors. What the fuck are they going to write about in their memoirs, the hell of being raised in by an upper middle class family in the suburbs, where their "creativity" was oppressed? Holy fucking shit Batman! Call Simon and Schuster! A way less interesting version of Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist should make millions!

Men with beards and women with random tattoos.

Not a sleeve or a coherent piece, but random ink that looks like they've been tagged by a dozen different graffiti artists. Just saying that if you're going to have a cowbell on your arm it should probably have an explanation. Oh the polar opposite of those dudes exist in Austin.

Me being one of them.

I'm the least artistic person I know but I can tell a joke. I do have a mustache and goatee, but not to compete or be the most hipster. I do keep mine trimmed. That is, for those of us who are older than college age. I wouldn't say it is cliche, IT people have a very specific personality type that usually is attracted to online dating. I should move to Austin, I'm the opposite of all those things.

Except I may have one or two plaid shirts. In my experience, online dating is time consuming, extremely competitive, and often a difficult way to find a good partner. I spent so many hours browsing and messaging people on online dating sites, only to find the quality people don't respond and the ones that do are usually not what they're pretending to be. You know what's comparatively easy?

Status message

Learning to meet girls or guys in real life. It worked for me. Start with getting used to making small talk with strangers people in line at the grocery store, people at the next table at the coffeeshop, someone next to you waiting at the crosswalk. If you're nervous, practice by just asking people what time it is. Then figure out other ways to start conversations Then see if you can keep the conversation going for a minute or two. And maybe eventually it can lead to "hey, we should totally hang out sometime, can I get your number? The quality of people you can meet and actually date in the real world is so much higher than online dating.

Most girls would just love for a genuinely nice guy to notice them and start a friendly, non-threatening conversation with them.

Even if they're not interested or not single, it's still probably the highlight of their day. For instance, there are a few women at the dog park I go to frequently that I'd love to hang out with. We sit around chatting it up for awhile. But I almost feel like it'd be an invasion or offensive if I invited them out. Guess that's just your general fear of rejection. At least with online dating I know the girl has a good chance of being somewhat attracted to me if she replies and sounded interested and is usually single and looking to date.

You don't have to ask them out on a "date" date. I never liked doing that anyway. It's too awkward, I'd rather hang out with them as a friends kind of thing and that way we can decide if we like each other later, or end up as friends which is good too. Easiest way to do it Of course if she says she's actually busy or just doesn't want to hang out. Let me get your number and I'll send you a text when we figure out the details. You don't actually have to have a party It's iffy, but when it's the kind of lie that you can tell her the truth about a short time later and she thinks it's cute, it's probably not so terrible.

For me it was generally mostly true, we really were always thinking about having a small party, it just only actually happened pretty rarely. That's my problem, how do I go from friendly conversation to asking for a night out without getting literally punched in the dick?

Want to add to the discussion?

The punching in the dick isn't even what I'm worried about. There are a few places I go that I continually talk to some girl that would be nice to ask out, but based on past experience it'll only ruin the nice conversations we have. It'll go from pleasant talks to subtle avoidance and eventually not talking all together. I'm fine with being rejected, for whatever reason, but once you make that move you're branded and if they say no they will almost always feel like they can't talk to you anymore.

If you can't escalate, you're fucked, and not in the way you want. And let's be perfectly clear: I'm on the fence about this. It is competitive, yes. Women and men sometimes have access to so many people, one could say they can be more "picky" than if they were limited to people they met in person. The other side of the coin is that people can now truly find their best match now, rather than "settle" for the best person they happened to run across in their day-to-day.

I do know that. And I honestly would have never tried to use [i] type of codes on here I'm not sure how that ended up like that actually. Wonder if I have some kind of weird browser add-on at work or something that turned a habitual Ctrl-I into that or something Not sure where you get your eHarmony impressions. I used it on and off for a couple years, and never once did I get a bible thumper. In fact, out of the two dozen or so dates I logged from the site, I think I only talked about religion once.

For guys, in the beginning they'll match you with new folks a day. I thought it was great; takes the whole 'meat market' aspect away by focusing two people's attention. That calm, cultivated approach probably sells better for the early to mid 30's crowd more than the late 20's. Regardless, they expect you to pair up eventually or haul ass.

I honestly was just going off its reputation.

MODERATORS

I know the owner is a big Christian and I've heard of people doing their quiz to only be rejected up front. I never gave it a shot, but I was hoping to hear experiences from people who have and thanks for sharing yours!

I met my fiance on eharmony, coming up on 2 years ago. He's atheist and I'm agnostic, so there's no requirement that you have to be Christian. To be fair though, he was in the first group of matches for me and the only one I actually messaged so I never did come across a bible thumper.

I'm definitely under the impression that if you're looking for something serious, you should definitely go for a pay site like eharmony or match. Within our group of friends there's us currently engaged , a married couple that also met on eharmony, and another couple together for 3. So pretty successful, I'd say. In Austin for instance it's largely the quirky introverted vegetarian girl who is not interested in anything serious but I spent a week in NYC and the women there were more vanilla women who seemed interested in something serious.

There are always exceptions, and I recognize my own personal bias but I do have a feeling someone using OKC in Austin will have a different experience than that same person using it in say Dallas or Chicago.
