Am I the only one that struggling to actually make friends on this app?

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like it’s really hard to make genuine friends on here. I feel like I’m constantly the one asking questions, like I’m interviewing people 😅 and a lot of the time the conversations stay really surface level, turns into them just talking about themselves, or I end up getting ghosted.

I came on here hoping to build real connections, especially with other moms, and I thought that’s what most people were looking for too. But lately it’s been a little discouraging. I feel like I’m putting a lot of time and energy into conversations that slowly fade out or get dry.

I’m still going to keep trying, but I’m curious, is this just how it is? Are people just more selective with friendships on here?

If anyone has tips on how to build more genuine connections, I’d really appreciate it 🤍

Advice

Hi everyone,I feel a bit embarrassed about this, but I’m really struggling financially at the moment and I’m not sure what options I have.

I’m currently on my own with my baby and I don’t really have any support from my baby’s dad. Things are quite tight and it’s getting quite stressful trying to manage everything.

I’m also worried that I may not be able to go back to work after my maternity leave ends because childcare is going to be really difficult to arrange and afford, which is adding to the stress.

I was just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any advice on what help is available (benefits, grants, childcare support, anything really), or even just ways you managed to make things a bit easier.

Any advice or kind words would really help right now. Thank you 🤍

Do you feel like women on here are expecting you to act like their boyfriend?

I’ve noticed that when it comes to attempting to make friendships here a lot of women expect you to be the one to message first, they expect you to initiate all conversations or keep them interesting and you have to make plans. It’s not a two way street and I find it beyond strange.

Have you had that experience?

Waves? Connections?

Im just curious if any one pays for ways and gets better connections? I see so many people saying they want a friend u would think there would be some pretty cool connections? Any one paying and have good connections? Any one not paying and made good friends? How did you navigate and connect with others!

MADE GOOD CONNeCTIONS
Meaning u interact frequently. Get to vent or get advice. Feel like you have a friend.

PARTIALLY
Interact ever so often. Cordial. Feel like you could potentially be friends.

MET IN PERSON
Have actually met up and tried to connect

No CONNECTIONS
Still looking. Maybe interacted and exchanged numbers but still no friendship.

Raging at my partner

Ffs. So my partner who, for the last few months has not complimented me, barely touches me, never wants sex and admitted that his sex drive is non existent at the moment just made a comment that’s really hurt me and doesn’t help how I’m feeling already.

I’ve just had a bowl of soup and was still hungry so got another. He saw and was like “bloody hell, are you having more? Who ate all the pies? You’re certainly putting it away”….

I don’t think I’m overweight at all and anyway I gave birth 4 months ago and am breastfeeding so of course I’m hungry!!!
So angry and upset. I don’t get what his issue is, I just want to feel sexy again. It’s frustrating because I see men look at me when I’m out on my own or with baby and I know I’m not ugly but his lack of attention is really starting to affect me!!! We’re supposed to be engaged ffs. How can I marry someone who doesn’t make me feel attractive or wanted…
