Have any men here ever tried a matchmaking service? How did it work and how much did it cost?

I’m a 21[M]. I’m not ugly by any means, but I wouldn’t call myself godly attractive, but I’m at least average or above. I’m fit, blue eyes, I smile a lot, and I dress nice. Not suit and tie but I dress in nice clothes. I keep up with my hygiene too. I mean, I’m not very tall, but I already know and have accepted some girls will have an issue with that.

I’m also not into the whole casual dating thing that’s popular now. I don’t care for hookups. I’m looking for an actual, serious connection.

I really want to pursue a serious relationship, but I really don’t think I’m cut out for OLD. I’ve used tinder, bumble, hinge, you name it. I’ve given it an honest shot, even paid for the premium and some boosts. Out of the 3 years I’ve been on OLD, I’ve matched with a couple people each month. I never get responses. I get it though, I’m not gonna be everybody’s cup of tea and that’s ok. I think OLD isn’t gonna lead anywhere to be honest.

I didn’t limit myself to OLD either. I’m a very outgoing person. I have no problems getting people to laugh. I’ve asked female friends at my college if they had any single friends, but either they don’t know anybody in town, or they’re already in a relationship.

I’ve got my shit together. I’m in school for computer networking making straight A’s. I make around 38k a year after taxes working full time too. Which I know isn’t a lot, but it’s a decent amount for my age. I don’t have a “boring” job. I work as a vet tech. I am building my credit. I’m financially responsible. I put over 50% of my money into savings. I’m not blowing it. I’ve got my own apartment, and I drive a really nice Audi. I’m not stuck up about all of that either. I worked really hard for it so I’m proud, but I’m humble.

I’ve got hobbies. I like working on cars, drifting, racing, and going to see live music. And I have lots of traveling under my belt.

It feels like I’m doing everything I’m supposed to. I’m outgoing, independent, exceeding academically, and financially smart. I just seem to be having no luck. So I was thinking about giving a matchmaking service a shot. I know they’re stupid expensive, but maybe whoever I get matched up with is serious about dating if they’re using a matchmaking service. It would be well worth the money if it leads to something meaningful.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
