But looking at the rest of the Pompeii exhibit, it started to look like the tamest artifact left behind.
I'm hoping others can relate, because I feel a lil crazy and depressed right now about this.
I'm 32, cis woman who mostly dates cis men. I've been dating off and on for 11 years. It has become increasingly more brutal and I'm not sure why.
I feel like there is no romance anymore. I'm not a traditional woman by any means - I plan and pay for dates, I give so many compliments to men I'm seeing, I initiate intimacy and necessary convos etc. But I feel like in the last few years (even pre covid) there is just...no effort from men anymore. I don't want to be the initiator of everything.
They used to plan romantic unique dates. They used to bring up the "what are we conversation?" They used to do sweet gestures. And I don't receive that as much anymore, as a whole. Not saying it doesn't happen, but I notice a big shift in what men do or don't do these days compared to in the past.
The majority of my dates/boyfriends between 2010 and 2017 always sent me cute messages. They left me notes. They planned unique dates like pottery or star gazing. They were always the ones to say "hey are we a thing?"
Not sure what changed, but I miss it. I try to tell people I'm dating that I like romantic gestures. I like little things. And sometimes they do deliver, but it is kind of like pulling teeth. It makes it hard to feel affectionate, turned on, interested. Makes me sad. I want to be adored and cared for. I want someone to bring just a little bit of romance.
Does anyone else see a change? Is it me who's changed? It's honestly been a little bit of a blow to my self esteem.

Curious to know if some of you are turned off by specific jobs, in potential dates?
I have a very corporate job and a former ex mentioned, while dumping me, that I was too corp, in my lifestyle - he was looking for someone more artsy (he eventually found her, yoga teacher, they lived the van life for a while).
I recently dated a guy who said in his profile he is an engineer - yet, where I live, it's a reserved title - and I learned on the date that he only studied in pottery and painting. He's now working in a tech compagny but it bothered me so much, even though he was cute and super nice. It got me thinking about the importance I give to professions and studies. Curious to know about yours!
