m34, totally deaf to signals, please help

Hi friends,

her = Min Brief Background - In the evenings before or after class for the last several years I've been going to a coffee shop, and one of the baristas there is just the warmest, most hilarious woman in existence. Chatting with Min is like being near a wood stove, the crackle of fire is her wonderful sense of humor! As Min's natural demeanor is so warm and open, I want to make sure I'm not misreading her.

When we've chatted, Min seems interested in my life and asks a lot of great questions. She's covered my coffee and meal/snack before, and six weeks or so ago she held out her hands for me when I came in, and so we clasped hands in greeting.

As my work is interesting to some people, Min asked me if I would be interested in speaking to her class (she's a teacher, paying off her student loans, hence barista) and of course I am, so I expressed as much. I had been out of town for a conference, so up till last night it had been a few weeks since I'd seen Min, and so last night I asked for her number, as professionally speaking I'll need it, and personally I am really very fond of Min and I'm definitely interested in dating her.

So I texted her last night and said, 'Hey Min, this is crispcabbage, I was happy to see you tonight :)' to which Min replied, 'I appreciate you very much! It's always a pleasure catching up with you! Please take care tonight, crispcabbage. I'm sure we'll follow up again soon.'

About me: I'm tall, athletic/lean, attractive. One of my coworkers says I look like an off brand Keano. I'm introverted, shy, and I sometimes struggle with conversation outside of my areas of interest. I usually don't notice signs of interest until well after the fact, if at all.

thank you, crispcabbage

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
