When I first started dating again, I tried another Serious LTR, but it crashed and burned so I decided to slow things down for the first time in my life.

Casual Dating feels like a mess.

I'm on OKC, Tinder, PoF, even MeetMe.

It feels like no one knows what they want anymore, or all they want are Hook-Ups. To be fair, I'm older, I'm 27. So maybe my age group is hitting a level of disillusionment with the fairy tales we grew up with about finding our one true love and whatnot.

I know very clearly what I want relationship wise in my future. But the state of things now leave me confused. And I thought it was just me, but I'm watching my Roommate hit the same kind of weird walls, fresh out of her own divorce. And then I hear my friends talk about the same stuff.

I don't know what it's like for other genders, but It's looking pretty bleak on this side and I'm not getting any younger.. I want a family and kids, and whatnot in my future. I feel like I'm never going to find it. So I even relented and was like, I just want someone to be around and be affectionate with who enjoys spending time with me. But I feel like I have to fight tooth and nail for some of the guys I was actually interested in, all for them to come across fairly indifferent about me.

Am I just doing this wrong? What is going on? T-T
