In the last three days I've received 80+ messages on OkCupid from guys and I haven't found any of them attractive. I've literally stated on my profile that I have an age preference and the majority of men that have messaged me clearly didnt read my profile. I sieve through messages and most guys are way too old for my liking or on the other side of the world. I've done the initiating in the past and it doesn't work for me. I have never received a response to any messages, so I've given up on that approach.
I came across a guy I met on OkCupid months ago before I deleted my profile and decided to message him yesterday. He seemed happy to hear from me, he happens to be attractive and the conversation just flows. From what I remember he took like a week to respond to messages, so I kind of saw this as a bad sign although he didn't seem disinterested when he did respond. Time will tell anyway.
Then I keep running into my ex on every single dating app, it's like I can't get away from him everytime I log onto OkCupid.
