Honestly, having common interests is overrated. I don’t have much common interests with my gf and it’s enjoyable in a way where we have our separate hobbies and lives while being able to share new things with each other.
Don’t despair Jim Bob. Rejoice in knowing that you’re a dream date for a lot of Tinderellas: wealthy, eager to compensate for your lack of confidence by planning expensive dates, tolerant of incessant complaining (per your post about your $6,000 brunch date at Yen who wouldn’t stop yapping about her friend), and willing to continue going out with a woman who you find uninteresting and unmotivated. And the icing on the cake is that they don’t even have to worry about you pushing for sex because you don’t believe in sex before marriage.
Since you’re so into saving money, I’d see if you could set up your dating venture as some sort of charity since you’re basically providing free meals.
I would just like to find a girl who has more hobbies outside of work like reading, surfing, farming, and we can do that together. I’m a bit bored after 3-4 dates if there’s not much we can do outside movies/shopping. Maybe in most relationships, taking it to the next level / intimacy is a way to avoid boredom.
I’m going out on an ikea shopping date today with girl #3, maybe I’ll take her to the cafeteria there as well for the Swedish meatballs
Thank about it - most locals are office slaves. When do they have time to shop if they need something? You need to find dates with unconventional jobs that don’t require them to work from 9am to 9pm.
Nothing wrong with kink, but OP should try doing the deed at least once with a girlfriend before he explores the finer art of watching someone else do it with his girlfriend.
