Astrum

Best: occasional journaling

Worst: doom scrolling

Certain expectations on “first date”. I feel like “first dates” are really more of a hangout to gauge people’s vibes and see if the person is someone you can be around often, or if they are someone you’d probably constantly fight with. I list out my preferences and expectations very clearly on my dating profile page, but I find that I often had to declare them again in text (causal hangout, talking only, splitting the bill, etc)

Another thing is the amount of people that will state “looking for a long term relationship” in their bio and then hit me with “are you looking for something casual”. It’s really frustrating

I also find it really difficult to find local hobby groups outside of uni. There’s not much clubs out there and when they do, it’s often a group that are already tight knitted. I’ve seen professional hobbies groups as well, but they cost a ton (something like $30-40 per art session) & hosts sessions in different areas of the city/park/forest, which renders them really inaccessible. Curious to hear if others also have similar troubles
