One of my closest friends has created accounts on dating apps. I have accounts since April and barely got likes. I was not sure what was wrong. The pictures or the content. I was pretty desperate even spent money on it with barely any success. 3 dates with the same woman. No relationship.
He got way more likes than me. Which really depressed me and took another hit at my self-esteem.
I tried to improve my profile with the help of him and some other friends. I thought my pictures were the issue. They were to some extent. I think I received the best advices of his sister. My profile did not look authentic. I would never have realized that without their help. I tried to be more funny and genuine. More pictures from outside.
Since I have made these changes I have more success. Currently, I text with someone excessively who is also mentally ill. The conversation is pretty deep and personal. But there are issues she lives 3 hours away, smokes from time to time and wants children.
I still take it as a win. She told me she never had such a deep conversation on this dating app.
I am not sure where we are heading though. I think she is reluctant to give me compliments.
