If you're really struggling to find the right partner for you, is that something you would invest in? Have any of you done it?

I"m not sure if its something I would do, personally, but I feel there's potentially something valuable to it. Who knows though.

I've long thought that dating websites should offer this as a service, for a fee. For people who go on a lot of first dates and never have anyone interested in a second date, or maybe a third. They're able to attract people, but not once the potential partner meets them.

I think I could do that. I bet most people could. Meet for coffee, and I'll tell you in 15 minutes what you're doing that's off-putting.

I agree! they should offer that. Many people have blocks too, that are holding them back from something good, so there is that as well.

No, but that would be because I know what I'm doing that may be off-putting lol!

Nope, finding a partner is not enough of a priority for me that I'd actually waste money for someone to tell and judge me on every damn step I take when I already waste enough money and time on first dates that go nowhere.

I've done it a few times since living in Oklahoma. Never again. You could learn as much or more from books or even therapy. Huge waste of money
