    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    Probably had the most boring new years eve of my life. With covid starting to break out here for the first time where I live and also not being able to go to bars/clubs/restaurants (being unvaccinated) it was difficult to plan anything. Ended up just watching the fireworks by myself. On the plus...

    Thanks for dropping by again BeyondShy. Yes as Callie mentioned, Hinge is just another dating app - similar to Tinder and Bumble. But it is intended for people looking for something a bit more serious than Tinder. It's now my favourite of any dating app. It seems to attract more of the women...

    Similar to you, I'm not a naturally witty, sarcastic, quick thinking person either. It's something I've developed but it's not one of my greatest strengths. I do think that yes it is possible to be interesting and attractive to someone without teasing, banter and sexual talk. Some women would...

    I've had three dates in the past week, each one got progressively better. First date, was during the day. We grabbed coffee and took them down to the beach. I'd injured my back earlier in the day and was struggling to even walk properly. I think that probably distracted me from the date and I...

    I had my work Christmas party last night. I'm a lot more comfortable with these social events than I used to be but still can be a bit shy with them. There was a girl there who I hadn't met before, probably a few years older than me but fairly attractive. I was talking to her quite a bit and...

    Bumble Date I had a date with a new girl from bumble last night. We met for drinks at the bar. Everything went pretty well and I suggested going for a walk on the beach, which she agreed to. We ended up walking right back to her apartment and she invited me to come in. We went to her bed and...

    DATES I had a third date with the girl I was talking about in my last few posts. We had a really good time and I could see that she's getting fairly attracted to me. She does have a lot of the qualities that I'd like in a long term partner. Only problem is she doesn't eat as healthy as I'd...

    Went out last night for Halloween. For much of the night I was just with my housemate and some of her friends so I didn't get much of a chance to talk to other girls. But later in the night we went to the dancefloor in the bar we were at. There were a couple of girls dancing very close to me...

    Single by choice, anybody?

    I'm not quite 30 but have been single now for about 3 years. It's not that I wouldn't like a relationship but I am very content being single. I'd much rather be single than be in a bad relationship with lots of drama. I have one girl that I've been seeing casually since January and we usually...

    I went ahead and did another 5 interaction openers on Saturday night, just to get back into the habit again. A few of them were just asking for directions. It's a little annoying having to go back to such basic level stuff but I know if I want to get back to the point where I can approach a...

    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    I really should get back into the practice of regularly updating this journal more often. It's like a form of therapy, getting your thoughts out into words. I was just looking back over some of my posts in this journal and the previous one. Writing out those posts lead to some fantastic...

    I went through with my goal to go out and speak to 5 people last night. There were no long conversations, no phone numbers exchanged or anything like that. It was just 5 very short interactions. But I was really happy with myself for doing it. The bar was set really low - all I had to do was...

    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    Been a while since my last update in here... Not a lot to report in terms of dating. I haven't been spending a lot of time on the dating apps. I haven't been going out and I haven't been on many dates recently. There's still a girl who I've mentioned in here previously that I'm still hanging...

    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    Besides one date last weekend, I haven't been spending much time on dating apps or going on dates in the past few weeks. Instead, I've been doing a lot of internal, introspection work. And it really has been amazing. It's all part of the 9 week challenge I mentioned a few posts back that I...

    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    I completely agree that guys shouldn't just rely on online dating. I've always said that. Definitely important to get out and meet women in real life as well.  In fact up until the last year or so when covid hit, real life was my main mode of meeting women. Which I documented in detail towards...

    I know plenty of 'average' guys who still manage to get dates from online dating. But if you have a terrible profile then yes, your chances of being noticed are very low.

    Guys reading this, let me help you meet more women from online dating.. No, I am NOT selling a course or coaching or anything like that and I never will. I want to help someone with their online dating for free. Why am I offering this? Mostly for selfish reasons, one of the best ways to learn...

    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    Quick update I haven't been going on so many dates or going out to meet girls much in the past month. Instead I have been more focused on self improvement and learning. There are a lot of courses and programs or coaching around on dating, relationships, pick up, self improvement, etc.. But...

    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    Haven't been on many dates recently. Besides hanging out with the regular girl I've been seeing.  Last night was the only first date I've had in the last few weeks. Wasn't my best date. The girl actually said to me at the end of the date that she didn't feel any connection. I've never had a...
