What makes online dating better for short-term relationships than long-term ones?

I'm the same person as splatmate25 users. I didn't want to use anymore. I took a break from it. Starting using the one now . I noticed that there has been an increase in some guys interested in short-term relationships and hookup. It did only happen sometimes on mainstream dating sites/dating apps. I see some of the increase had to be from disabled dating sites and free sites. I did have guys that were interested in sex or about sexting to . There has been guys twice the age of me asking about sex but I'm blocked and report them One user said you meetup in my friends house and I did reject him and blocked him. I did report . My thoughts are some dating sites/ apps are no good .some reason why do some men just blunt out sex or ask if i'm open to having sex with strangers . I'm not open to having sex with strangers . Free dating sites are not it and not very good men on free dating sites . I met a lot of guys at adult gaming and it's been great. To get to play video games . I be talking to one guy with glasses that I might end up being attracted to. i'm been doing better but I'm not sure how to tell if some guys will be interested in me or attracted to me. I'm not sure if that counts. One guy with glasses did look at me then look away quickly but it could mean anything. I did get up early one time and did say good morning think I did say bye after or see ya . I can't remember . I have been practicing more , my mum has still had rules about when it comes to me dating men with moderate learning disabilities . I did have some previous bad experience with previous ex bf some and some we were from college and one previous ex bf was met on Facebook . I got 9 ex bf . I do not talk about ex bf . not yet gotten any dates for going to social events or some from online dating .

Hi @Katiedimelow20, glad you're having a good time at the gaming events.

I think quite a lot of people look for short term dating, especially people in their 20s, but there will some people that are hoping for longer term relationships. Maybe they're harder to find, I'm not sure! It sounds like your gaming event is a good place to meet people with less pressure than online dating though.

It's great that you've been practicing. It can be difficult to tell when someone likes you, but keep going with the practicing, and you'll start to feel a bit more comfortable each time. You could try asking some simple questions about them and see if you can get to know them a bit more. Even just asking "How are you?" can start a conversation 😊
