The deal breakers for me are loud, overconfident, not understanding what others are saying, too old, immature, stupid, not communicating well, and very tall men. I dislike when some men play mind games, ghost, and don't confirm right away. Or change the meetup to a different time or date since they couldn't make it because it was on their birthday. Happen twice. There are two types of online dating profiles. Other than that, I have been trying out a few dating apps and trying out some disability dating sites again. Not sure if it took a long time to change the date and time. Unlike when I get the chance to meet up. Could you please suggest any other suggestions? Hasn't had any luck with real-world dating. It's over hearing about guys who already have girlfriends. I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong or if it hasn't been my time yet.

    Hello @Splatmate24

    The dating world is hard to navigate so try not to be too hard on yourself. You aren't doing anything wrong.

    It's good that you've recognised what you don't want in a romantic partner. But how about trying a change of tack, and focusing on the traits you do want and value - someone with similar interests? same sense of humour? By focusing on a person's qualities you might find it less frustrating. 

    Also, if plans change, try not to get too annoyed. It's easier to 'go with things' than against them and I'm sure you'll know when to stop contacting someone if it becomes a repeat pattern.

    Did you try The Outsiders Club recommended to you?
