How do I find real love when everyone just wants fun?
i’ve been on like 15 dating apps over the past two years & i’m so over it. last weekend i went out with this guy i matched with — he was a Gemini, which my friend said was a red flag but i didn’t care, he seemed different. we hit it off, laughed all night, even talked about how we both hate how everyone is just sleeping around. then the next morning he ghosted. again. like why even pretend if you’re not looking for anything real? i’m 28 now and i just want someone to build with not just hook up and disappear. my sister got engaged last month and her fiancé flew to meet her parents & everything — that’s what i want, not this endless cycle of chemistry that goes nowhere. i keep hearing people talk about zodiac compatibility like it means something but honestly at this point i think it’s all just luck. i don’t even know how to act anymore — if i say i want commitment early on they bolt, if i play it cool i end up in another dead-end situation. my mom keeps asking if i’ve met anyone “serious” and i just change the subject because what do i say? i don’t want to be bitter but i’m tired
