How is dating in san francisco

Newly 21ers. They brag about how much they can drink. They troll bars every weekend with that tired quantity over quality mentality when it comes to women. Yep, we definitely have adult frat boys here. I never had issues because I could spot them from a mile away. But sometimes, in their work attire, they could come off as something different so I see why women have a problem here.

But ladies, listen and observe… you know if a guy is looking for a hookup and not wifey. There are good guys out there. But you know what? Who want relationships. But you gotta deepen your lifestyle, in where you go and who you hang out with. Think variety variety variety … and keep your heart and eyes open.

Point blank. What we gotta do, is stop giving attention to the dum-dums. You know, the man-boys. How do we do it? Or treated. Deep down, we know it! When really, we need to trust that instinct and trust it right away. Think about it… has it ever been wrong in the past?

How often do you wish you would have listened to that gut feeling? But okay. The good guys out there in SF. Plenty of them! These are men who will offer MORE than something superficial. Men who are more in tune and want to treat women right.

Their priorities are straight. No act. No silly games. And they follow through. These guys are the ones we should aim to be dating. And they too deserve a really, really great woman. Many men in San Francisco think that overall, the women in this city are incredible. They describe us as independent thinkers, career - driven… women who doll up only if we want to and not because we feel we have to.

They see us as having a deep affinity for culture and rich experiences and they really like that about us. Class over ass, baby! Two birds, or whatever. Yes, they may be approaching their 40s, but a lot of SF's daters have no desire to get married, have kids, or do anything their friends in the Midwest did well over a decade ago. Basically, everyone who is single is on Tinder. Or Match. Or OKCupid. SF is tech-savvy and one of the benefits to that is that people actually aren't afraid to online date.

So go ahead, swipe right. Just not if there are pictures of tigers or duck faces involved. Just me? Never mind then. Moving right along…. And then maybe cheat on that person the next year at Burning Man.

And then start dating the new person. And repeat. Or, you know, just fall in love and stay in love. That happens too! And you should probably wait until the sun goes down to start drinking? You can shoot bows and arrows, play mini golf, do a sidewalk food tour, or even just end up at a super-cool bar.

One of the best parts about dating? Next thing I knew, I was making out with a guy in broad daylight, in a bar, on a first date. It was a little much, but I went with it. Mostly for the story. We talked on the phone for a couple hours before our first date.

It was a refreshing change of pace to talk to a man who seemed emotionally in-tune. He painted a portrait of me before we met. Maybe a little strange in retrospect, but he was so different that I was intrigued. He brought me a Gerber Daisy, my favorite flower, to our first date at a museum. It was a sweet gesture. Then he wanted to hold my hand immediately. Um, sure? We had talked enough over the phone that I did feel comfortable with him. But then he wanted to put his arms around me as we were sitting on a bench inside the museum.

Not just one arm, like you normally would while sitting on a bench. Both arms. Wrapped around my torso. At this point I started to get a little worried. Was he a stage 5 clinger? Yes, the answer was yes. The date just got weirder and weirder, as he asked to record me with the Go-Pro he brought to the date.

He made films he said. I was a great subject he said. A powerful woman. At this point I felt pretty uncomfortable and ended the date as politely as I could. As we walked back to BART to train home, he asked to see me again. He seemed to only half hear me. He texted me the next day asking for another date and I nicely turned him down. I ignored it. Then the voicemails started. He kept calling, for days and days.

His calls eventually stopped and I desperately hope I never run into him. Not included: all of the lovely dates I went on with perfectly lovely men. There are a lot of good ones out there too! Maybe I should pay more attention to red flags. But they sure do make for good stories. San Francisco. I write about matters of the heart and being human. Sign in. Felicia C.
