I had a nasty breakup in November and have recently returned to the dating scene. I’ve been on the apps for a week but they’re bumming me out, so I deleted them. I decided that I want to live in DGAF land and just figure out how to meet people in the wild.
At the bike shop today I offered my number to a woman and her exact response was “Um, I’m married”. She was nice about it though. To be fair her ring was a shade of gold that blended in with her skin tone somewhat.
Anyways, onward and upward!
FP Edit: y’all are some RASCALS. I am not going to seduce her husband! Send me your embarrassing dating stories.

Haha, I almost asked a married girl out on a date. Luckily my observant(and hesitant) nature let me see the ring beforehand.

"Yeah, me too"

You can learn from this. Married people wear a ring on their ring finger of their left hand. Check that out before giving out your number.
Josesharlo
I usually do check haha
brownsugga
Tell her you love a challenge. After all, what's the point of scoring a goal without a goalkeeper there

" oh cool, he can cook us breakfast in the morning" -guy I know

Date her husband. Show that bitch you're worth it
StreetHawk95
Ask her if she has seen the show "sister wives" and maybe consider starting a new show called "brother husbands"
CredibleInformant
Seduce the husband, make him realize he's gay and divorce his wife. Court the newly divorced wife and leave her at the alter. REVENGE!!!!!!!

Well you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take so keep hunting.
TheAlternate27
"and....?"
SomeOtherOwls
Don't feel bad. You made her day! Married or not it's still flattering to get hit on
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
"I'm married ... and I have a boyfriend."
yeeeeeeeeeehaw
You just made someone’s day. She’ll remember that moment.
Josesharlo
That counts for something!
rebuildingdrizzt3000
You miss every shot you never take.

"Married? So . . . is a blowjob out of the question?"
TheAlbatrossFromTheMoon
I bet you made her day, she's probably laughing about it with her friends and making her husband a little bit jelly lol
GrapeHero
Keep your head up bro! Just don’t ever be weird
IMTHEONEWHOSTOLEALLOFTHECOOKIESFROMTHECOOKIEJAR
Shit, THATS where I went wrong
DarthVella
Nah, be weird! People remember you that way! But friendly weird, not creepy weird.
cyno01
Easier said than done for a lot of people...
Josesharlo
That’s why I like to just offer my number and be done with it. No opportunity to let nerves make me weird haha
Sentinal32
Jesus dude, take the win. You made the hardest first step. You're doing great.
Josesharlo

Don’t start with the apps. I did after my divorce and it was just more depressing.You sound awesome and will find someone equally as awesome
Josesharlo
Thank you!!

As a guy, this. I could not meet anyone online but in dgaf land I met my gf of 3 years. Many no's, the first one is the hardest. You learn.
Josesharlo
I’m reading The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck and it’s a game changer.
lighterletter
It can apply to a lot of aspects of life. Say fuck it and do the best you can with what you've got, if you focus on improving, you will.
CarpetheCarp
I met my fiancé on bumble. You have to weed through a good bit but don’t give up!
Bierock
If it means anything, a lot of the chicks on dating apps are married too.
Josesharlo
You do see a lot of “looking for thirds”
StuckInBetweeen
Don't think that's what he was referring to lol
Tomadzo
Back in olden days (the 90’s), that’s just a regular everyday attempt.
Josesharlo
Crazy how times have changed, right?

Take her husband out on a date.

Assert dominance

BravelyEncouraging
Maintain eye contact and assert dominance. He's the power bottom tonight! You got this!
Josesharlo
But I’m that situation I would rather......never mind :D
Sooner70
Why not both? A threesome is a lot more fun than any Friday evening I've experienced in the last few years.
CHiLL562
Those two guys miss you back.
tinydog
I was married for 17 years, together for 19. Been divorced for 2.5. I still have NO idea where, when, or how I will ever meet anyone. ?♂️
Khoop
Wait... Are you me?! :P. Honestly these numbers are way too close though.
BigOrkWaaagh
Obviously you're the other half!
tinydog
Yes. I am you.
canyoutakemeforawalkintherain
I also had a bad break up in October, wanna chat and swap stories?
Josesharlo
Gimme
Josesharlo
That’s vague. I mean sure haha
Aaronb1138
Dating apps went from useful to useless to socially malicious on almost the exact same timeframe as Facebook.
Josesharlo
That’s exactly how I feel. They’re designed to create addiction and a sense of missing out.
Aaronb1138
Most importantly they drive a sense of infinite choice, which keeps people hopping from one date to the next and treating people disposably.
Josesharlo
YES. That’s huge.
PunkyPicc
In Germany women used to wear their hair braided on one side to show they are married. I feel like we need something like that today.
SliderOfElay
Meh, that isn't indication about you. At worst you made her day.
Josesharlo
I’ll take it!
delilahviolet
Yeah. As a married woman of many years I WISH I’d get asked out
LetThemEatPie
Wanna get some tacos? I got a coupon.
delilahviolet
Haha..a coupon you say? Hmmm
iputnutinnutella
Thanks but I'm married
Sinuhik
Agree, I'm married and I would be flattered. Hat off to you!

Hello to you then :)

I actually met my wife on okcupid. We've been happily married almost 4 years. May take time and effort, but online dating can work.
THEmichaelscarn12
I too met this mans wife on okcupid.
TrumpIsAFelon
Lol
Tadrakyn
I also met the girl I plan on spending the rest of my life with on OKC. It took weeks, for many it'll take longer, be patient and honest.
thismademefailmyfinals
I love this! Met my husband on okcupid a little over 3 years ago. It can definitely happen!
Lynkfox
Wife and I now 5.5 years married, 7 years together, 3yo daughter and one cooking. Met on okcupid too.
Drunk3nm0nkey
I stalked my fiancee at work until I learned her every like and dislike. Now we live together even though she insists she doesn't know me ?
Issima1984
I met my husband on okcupid too. 10 years ago.
valen00
How's it feel knowing you are in the top 20% of male attractiveness?
ComediNyan
I've had terrible experience with online dating so far. Everything essential tends to be paywalled.
SimpleFriend
4 years is about how long I spent on those sites with zero results before I gave up for good
SpikeReynolds
I made the "mistake" of meeting my wife at work. We've been happily married for six months now
Dumpsterbreathdog
Those apps bum me out too :( they're the worst. Good luck!
Josesharlo
I’m curious what you didn’t like about them? I have a laundry list haha
circegirl
Everyone is married!
UnspokenX
Not the biggest fan of an app that can tell me in real time exactly how many women in a given radius want nothing to do with me.
Dumpsterbreathdog
It's just so depressing to see the curated mask everyone puts on when you can analyze it in writing and photos.At least in person you have>
Dumpsterbreathdog
A shot to use your gut feeling and other cues to get to know someone. It looses it's whole appeal when your realize that I think.
Josesharlo
I totally get that. It’s crazy how you can *think* you have great chemistry but when you meet them there is NOTHING. That’s why I’m really/
Josesharlo
into the in-person meet so you can start with knowing whether or not there’s any attraction. Not only that but you’re meeting when neither/
