The problem with "what are you looking for " categories on Bumble
Joined Bumble after a long time, and there's a huge shift in what the expectations are. Or maybe I'm just feeling like a fish out of the water? Please help me out. Idk if I should make a change or just get off of dating app completely.
This "fun/casual" category is intentionally or unintentionally being used like " but aren't you here for casual stuff then why not sex". And if I do have the fun/casual category, it's an instant dive into the sea of intrusive questions.
Well sadly there's no other category where I can bucket wanting to go on street food hopping, talk about things to another adult, feel possible butterflies and walk back home without feeling a ticking time bomb of "when do we 'hook up'? " Where do you exactly place a slow burn, letting things pan out sort of a dynamic?
I can't be in a relationship due to career commitments, and I'm not into hooking up. So where exactly should I bracket myself?
Like are the fun ice cream walks, ride to a park, a different kind of fun? Then just a category called - " a little confused, but something cute would be nice" maybe then?
I feel as someone who has perpetually been home, and wants to put feet into the world, dating apps are even more isolating.
