Ill be moving in a few months to the DC metro area, maybe live in Mont county. I have no friends or anyone to give me pointers on dating there. I am 23F never had a relationship/bf so it will be a first for me. What dating like there? Give me the good bad and ugly I wanna hear it all!
I’ll try to make the story as short as possible. We met when we were both working as nurses, we started dating for a while but his mom didn’t like that I have a kid, he ended up getting engaged to someone else, now she recently left without an explanation and we’re talking again. I’ll just let the poem speak for itself.
- Note that NTR is primarily a hentai/porn category. What often gets missed with NTR, and why it's different from cheating. Is that the target for the NTR and the person you're meant to identify with is the main character, so it's far closer to 'cuckolding' than cheating.
- Jul 29, 2014 Update October 14 2018: Tentatively 'done'!!! Subreddits in bold have been voted positively by subscribers of /r/ListOfSubreddits.
- So my 7 year marriage with who I thought was the love of my life is exploding. I am devastated and cannot even think of another man.
- Update: Sent here from r/washingtondc because dating in DC is so difficult. I updated my profile based on feedback.
I’m fine with putting my feelings on the line, I mostly just want to make sure the poem itself doesn’t totally suck before I send it lol
———
Clean house but the paint starts peeling / Once the door opens for feelings. / I am a deeply rooted tree, / Until the touching truly touches me. / Third degree burns over every inch, / Never did grow a proper skin. /
That night when you got out of your car and kissed me in mine at the stoplight, / Stars fell headlong, colors grew bright, Just like all the songs said someday they might. / I’m sorry it’s hard to control the part of me that fights and flights and frets, / But if I knew what you needed to just lay back and rest, / I’d do my best. /
I’m learning the guideposts within my mind / Of where my story stops and someone else’s unwinds, / And that I am the only one beholden to my heart - / That people can leave and I’m not entitled to make them watch me fall apart. / I’ve gotten better, yet I’m not fully healed. / It’s all too much but it’s easier written here. /
So you jumped out of the woodwork and I jumped into your bed / To blur the buried emotions erupting from my depths. / You need space to grow back whole / Before I try to build castles that aren’t my own. / But if you ever let me in on what makes you stand tall, / I’d risk the fall. /
Married now, but created this list to reassure single ladies in DC (those seeking LTRs with men) that they're not crazy or flawed, that it IS hard in DC:

about 5% more single women than single men, which takes a big toll
More gay men than lesbian women (WaPo says 1.8% vs 1.5% of those gender populations identify as such). This means even more straight women than straight men than census data shows.
DC men settle down later than avg, and often pursue younger women.
Dating apps are hard on older women, as the men can set an age range for women they're looking for and simply won't see profiles for women over, say, 35 (a common cutoff age)
It's a highly educated city with above-average awareness of gender relations, meaning cold approaches are increasingly rare, making it harder for women not being seen on dating apps to get consideration.
Many of the career-obsessed guys don't seem to want a career-focused/obsessed partner.
Growing awareness of workplace sexual harassment (a great thing!) may also be reducing the workplace as a setting for finding a mate, due to increased reluctance to flirt. (hat tip to U/SC_Ravel)

Anything else I'm missing? I see too many of my friends worried it's them, and not realizing the complexities of the DC dating market!
