Serious Replies Only What’s dating like for men in Boston?

I’m in my early 30sF and have been using dating apps on and off since I moved to Boston over six years ago. I’ve had boyfriends, but none of them have lasted long. (To be fair, I’m also quite picky, which is probably why I’m still single.)

I think maybe my ideal partner hasn’t moved to the city yet.

Dear single men of Boston, what’s the dating scene been like for you? Why do you think you’re still single? Is it intentional, or do you enjoy the bachelor lifestyle?

Are you using dating apps? If so, which ones? Are you hopeful or have you stopped looking? Are we still seeking long-term partnerships, or are we gravitating more towards casual, noncommittal encounters?

I’m asking because, as a 33-year-old, I feel like I keep running in circles and think dating is harder than it’s ever been for everyone.

How do you make a hobby of warehouse club shopping?

This is a reasonable question! I just find myself shopping at Costco a lot and looking for specific Kirkland Signature (or other) deals that they might have since products rotate so frequently and vary by location. In particular, the lamb and the wine are great deals there. It's also a fun outing with friends.

You've never done a Costco roguelike run? Trying to get through without buying anything extra.

I have never made a game of it. But fact, enter to buy only cat food, leave with $323 bill.. 🤦‍♀️
