Ok, so I’m 24 M Bi and he is 24 (assuming from vague Facebook info) M gay (I’m assuming but it’s a safe assumption) We met in a professional setting (but everyone is just super chill), this is a contract job so once the objective is met everyone moves on. Hence why I say I might never see him again. We have only two more days that we will see each other on, so far we have talked only once (yikes I know, that’s going to be a long shot) but I already like him, he seems nice, sweet, and cute. I understand I might have caught feelings too quickly, but god dammit I wanna try asking someone out, I wanna put myself out there cause online dating sucks. I feel differently, this is no longer sexual for me like it used to, I’m looking for a real partner this time and I felt something there. I don’t wanna come off too strong but I’m in a race with time, if I don’t ask him in person then it’s never gonna happen, cause he might forget me in the wave of humans we meet every day. Here’s what I’m p

I’ve always have that feeling of feeling bad for the girl after going out with her on a date or two. For some reason, doing that to them would always remind me of myself a few years back when I would constantly get rejected. Now that I have my shit together, the role’s reversed (obviously I do still get rejected). How do I avoid making her upset or at the very least slightly less upset when saying no?

I've had my fair share of luck, met some lovely women, had some great relationships that grew nicely. Though, recently I feel like something is turning people away from me lol Is it my faith? That I don't drink? Its confusing. I'm not even super religious or anything.

i’ve been talking to this girl for a few months and we’ve made it clear to each other that we’re attracted to one another and want a future relationship. recently she told me she messed up by accidentally doing stuff with another guy while she was high. i have a feeling somethings going on but everytime i try to talk to her about it she gets really mad and tells me that nothings going on and i shouldn’t be worried. its really hard to believe her since she’s always facetiming him and posting about him. im only a freshman and i’m aware that high school relationships usually don’t last but i seriously don’t know how to continue with this situation. edit: one of my friends asked the guy that she messed around if they’re a “thing” and he said yes.

I am a M(18) and there is this girl in my class I teacher aid for.I have been talking to for the last year in class but have only started texting her this last month. I ask about her weekend because we talk in class about every day so there is really no reason to text. When we talk in person we have really great conversations and she has come up to me to start conversations in class. Also in class I can sometimes catch her looking at me. We have a lot in common like hunting, cars, off-roading and some more.When we do text the conversations are great and I make her laugh So last week I asked her out as friends to go shooting( she hunts like me so I thought it was a good idea) after school on Friday. She responded with “ sorry can’t I am going to the city :(“ which was true she had hospital stuff to do and she said” I don’t even want to go”. Seeing the “:(“ I thought that she really want to go but can’t or I could just overthinking. Today when I was talking with her and her friend she a

Was dating this girl, everything was fine for a month, we had sex without a condom (she was on BC and always saw her take it) she took me to Disney world, had me in her instagram bio,snapchat everything the works ! She was on Bi polar and mood stabilizer medication (sometimes she would skip it) This girl used to live a poly lifestyle and changed to become monogamous for me. ​ Skip to month 2, she tells me via text she has HERPES 1 (she failed to disclose this to me in month 1 of dating ) and said it is not a big deal as long as I don't kiss the sore ( I never kissed her mouth again) Everything is good for a few more weeks after in month 2, she takes me to Six Flags she tells me she quits her job and works from home now because everyone at the office hates her, she also tells me everyone from the City she is in atm hates her and wants to fight her, I asked her "why would anyone wanna fight u?" " Why do u have so many enemies?" I eventually meet her mom and wh

Quick vent. So many people I've encountered have jaded views about dating these days. Those issues will not go away because you found someone you are interested in. You're not a baby and your partner isn't a pacifier. They can not soothe all of your trauma from past relationships because they aren't the ones that caused you pain. Deal with your trust issues or issues in general before you choose to mentally exhaust someone by looking for constant reassurance and weighing them down with your baggage from the past. I refuse to sit at a table with someone that dissects everything I say in order to find the "ah-ha you slipped" moment. It's uncomfortable and a major turn off. Hurt people, Hurt people. You become just as much of an abuser as the person who abused you. Honestly, we women are the most guilty of it. This has to stop. Take care of you first. Then come back to the dating scene putting your best foot forward. Submitted May 22, 2019 at 04:27AM

Basically, it's been four years since I've had a "date" date. I've had hangouts with girls solo but I wouldn't consider them dates, mostly friendly banter and enjoying social interactions. However, I've been talking to this girl for about a month or two now and I finally had the testicles to ask her out after we hung out a week ago. That being said though, the hangout was great but I just felt like I wasn't being interesting enough and she only was taking pity on me and such, though I think that was nerves, insecurity and anxiety all at once. I'm also having trouble trying to pick out if she's actually interested or not. First date I'm taking her to a grill that I recommended and she was interested in. Not sure about after that, will probably just wing it. How do I keep the atmosphere light enough without getting too overboard? Willing to answer questions.

I have a female friend and back around Halloween I met one of her friends out one night. We hit things off well and started talking. Turns out this girl was recently out of a relationship. The ex dumped her because she asked to borrow $10 for one of her bills. It was just an excuse for him to dump her since he was actually cheating on her and wanted an out. Me and new girl hang out a couple times and hookup once. I try to set up a date with her but she gets weird then ghosts. I ask my friend and it turns out the ex got dumped by the new girl so he came back and she took him back. Fast forward about 4 months and they break up again. This time he wrecked her car and wouldn't pay for the damage. I eventually start talking to her again. We go out on a date and things went well and we start talking. She says she wont go back to him, he tried to come back and she turned him down. I try and hang out with her again and she gets flaky. The other night her friend invites her to the hot

I'm starting to regain some semblance of mental health in my life, for most of my adult life I have been in "self imposed" isolation. It's been at least 5 years since I have even seriously thought of dating if not longer and I never had any experience through my teen years either so now I'm 23(m) without a single instinct on how to find someone. Bonus information: I don't drink, smoke or have any regular social activities in my life. I have no real friends or family in the area, I'm not attractive, out going or wealthy. Where the fuck do I go from here? I spend 95% of my life in solitude or at least that is how I have been spending my life and I have no real idea on how to break away from that now that doesn't just make me uncomfortable and miserable. I love the concept of building a relationship with someone but I honestly just don't know where to start. Do I just go to a bar and talk anything that moves, find some sort of social Meetup activit

This is for couples, single Men/Women, & anybody that needs a mood setter. Back when I was happily single for the past 6 years (now in a relationship) i got quite good at setting an aesthetic & mood post dates. If you’re single & struggling or concerned on how to make your first sexual experience memorable (or comfortable). Well it’s with music. Music can block out the awkward sounds your body makes in an initial session. Like heavy breathing (panting), mouth smacking, awkward silence, fapping, slurping, maybe even a fart. Obviously don’t be silent, moaning & dirty talk are great escalators. Here’s the Spotify Playlist i use: Sex Drive. (The Weeknd, Alina Baraz, Bryson Tiller) Remember. Foreplay. There’s never enough Foreplay. Don’t have the lights on, or completely turned off. Leave the closet light on or leave your door slightly open. if you’re able to have visual eye contact it will lead to a more sensually intimate experience. Quick Tip: if you have a Bluetoo

Has anyone ever felt this way before? The feeling of being alone in the world despite having a partner. Does anyone out there have few to no friends, but a partner they can tell anything? Or perhaps no friends as well as a partner you can't confide in? I've been dating someone for not long now, and am remebering past relationships as well. I have no close friends & wish I did. I have no one to confide with or tell very personal things to, yet, & am not close to my family. I'm 33 & have lived in the city I'm in for the past 9 years. I didn't grow up or go to school here, but those shouldn't be excuses for not having friends. I've had social anxiety as long as I can remember, though I've made strides. However, I did meet someone & we've been dating for just 2 months. They're tall, attractive, witty, have great taste in music, yet I find myself often annoyed by them as well as feeling like I can't tell them personal things. Th

I dated this guy for about a month but we didn't see each other much due to mostly him being busy. Every time we hung out I had a great time, and he said he did as well. There was good chemistry, we laughed and joked around a lot, our conversations were fun and engaging. I thought things were going really well. I said I'd like to see him more and he agreed, but basically since then I haven't heard from him. I know he's making time for other dates, because he told me. I tried making plans with him last week and he was unavailable, but didn't make any effort to arrange something in the near future. I had to arrange all our hang outs, I don't think he asked me out once. I'm tired of chasing someone who doesn't want to make time for me. Ugh, I feel like I can't trust anyone when it comes to dating. Someone can tell you they really enjoy your company and want to see you again, then essentially go AWOL. I'm taking a break from dating.

This is a new one for me and I wanted a little advice. I’m going to see one of my favourite bands tomorrow night and a man I’ve been speaking to the last couple of weeks (he’s been visiting family in Brazil, just landed home in the UK this afternoon) is now coming with me! It turns out he also loves one of the band members from their other work so I invited him/he invited himself along in the most charming manner. I was going to go alone so I’m happy to have someone to go with. We’ve not met before but he sounds super fun and cool and I have no reservations around him (for once!). But I’m a bit nervous to do a gig-date, it’s a first. We’ll be going for drinks together beforehand and I have no doubt that we’ll be comfortable in each others’ company (he’s super confident and chatty, as am I). ​ Any tips to navigate this? I keep having visions of us trying to talk and the music being too loud. I also feel a bit shy about letting loose and dancing in the mosh pit. Has anyone here ever d

I feel like whenever I start dating a guy and it doesn't lead to a relationship (usually because he keeps playing games), I can't stop thinking about finding a real relationship, but when I don't bother dating anyone, I'm fine. The problem with that approach is my chances of finding love will be much lower if I don't put myself out there and date new people once in a while. I just keep getting disappointed though!

I decided to give OLD one last chance after my rant post the other day about dating. He was someone I'd hung out with briefly two other times and he invited me over to his apartment to listen to music and just hang out. When I got there he was folding clothes and listening to sad music. Shortly after I arrived he immediately went into vent mode about having to keep up a happy persona all day and he's tired of it, how he's a broken person, messed up on the inside, tells me about a horrifically traumatizing childhood, how hes an alcoholic, how he's not over his ex wife after being divorced for 4 years, and how his counselor tells him hes still looking for a mother figure because he never had a good one! Then he starts taking shots and snorting cocaine!! I'd never even been in the same room with cocaine before, let alone hanging out with someone who was snorting it in front of me. He goes on for about 3 hours venting while hes taking shots and high as a freaking ki

I'll try to keep this brief. I'm a 33F. My whole life has just been one long series of shitty relationships. Just every kind of shitty relationship you can imagine. Toxic, lackluster, unrequited, abusive, etc. A combination of a shitty childhood (including sexual trauma) and a mental illness left me poorly equipped to date normally, but certainly didn't keep me from making myself miserable trying. About a year ago, I really took objective stock of how much I had invested into searching for a partner and what reward it had yielded. Looking at it from that perspective, it was kind of easy just to decide not to bother anymore. It really became clear to me that for numerous reasons, "it" probably wasn't ever going to happen for me. So I gave up. And I was doing fine. And then he came along. I was very clear that I wasn't interested in being in a relationship, but he pursued and wooed (ugh) me. Not in a creepy way. He was respectful of my boundaries, but I

Ok so here's my story. I'm a man who is ~2 years into my 30s. I've had 2 what I'd call serious relationships and maybe a couple that didn't last more than a few months. The first lasted 7 years we even lived together but we had different career/life goals and ended up splitting up after she cheated on me. We are still friends no ill will. The second lasted a year and ended recently. She wanted kids, I don't and I've had a vasectomy. It was sad we we both loved each other but we understand and respect each others decisions. We both knew it going in but I think we both thought it was just a fun temporary thing until we both realized we'd become quite attached! So I'm single again and I'm wondering what are some good ways to meet like minded people since it's been a few years since I used apps and I'm now over 30. I think I'm aged out on Tinder and maybe Bumble tried Hinge but not that enthused. I have some good things: I'm finan

So as the title states , we're been "seeing" each other for almost 4 months .

We met through my ex about 6 or 7 years ago and instantly hit it off in a very platonic way. I didn't know she was gay at first and she hadn't come out yet because she had a boyfriend at the time. As time passed by, we grew closer and closer but everything remained platonic. At some point, she came out to her closest family members, which included my ex, her cousin. So I found out and it obviously didn't change anything but it matters in this situation. Now my ex and her cousin were really close. They still are now, just not as much. So we all hung out a lot. My ex's cousin started dating a girl after a while, and mind you that everything is still very much platonic. All 4 of us got along so well. We hung out a lot and had the best of times. As the hangouts piled on, the more my ex's cousin and I grew closer. The chemistry between us was literally nothing like I've ever had with anyone..but again.. very much platonic. She was now my best friend. I got her a job

Hello fellow DOT-ers! Context: I (33m, separated 2 years, divorced 1 year) work in a really big place (hundreds of employees) 20% of my time and my job has me interacting with a lot of people there. I dated two girls from distant department, but the last one was more than 6 months ago. There is this girl (G) I always had a mild crush on, we would glance at each other every now and then, like our mutual FB posts, etc. We have a few common hobbies. I never acted on it because she was in a department where I spend A LOT of time, have very good relations with everybody there so this was strictly in a “Don’t shit where you eat” territory . Recently 2 of her colleagues started to slip G’s name in the conversation when they were talking to me, in a not so subtle way, and I was invited to a work gathering where I learned that G would be leaving soon. I was thrilled to learn that but there is a catch, she will be leaving for a big trip quite soon, although she will be back in a few months. O

For me personally it was when my S/O and I were laying in her bed. She's musically talented and I have no experience with instruments. The lights were off and she began to explain some basic musical concepts. She hummed different tones and her voice was absolutely gorgeous. She asked me to hum some patterns, I was atrocious but she encouraged me to continue and she soon joined in. I'm slightly self-conscious about my singing, but that was the first time I felt truly comfortable letting go (without the assistance of liquid courage at concerts :P ). I remember thinking to myself "I absolutely adore this woman" and it's one of my most cherished memories with her. Now I ask the question to you.

New here. Need advice. I'm a woman in my early forties. Divorced 5 years ago. I've been seeing someone who I really like. We've known each other for over a decade, and have always had a lot of mutual respect. He asked me out about six weeks ago. We've seen each other at least weekly since, and have been intimate since our second date. The chemistry is off-the-charts, and we really like each other. However, two weeks ago, he brought up "the talk," and seemed to hint at some hesitation to get more involved. Since then, we've had the talk two more times. On the second occasion, I learned that he is interested in someone else. Apparently he's known her for a while too, and had begun talking with her romantically before he asked me out. But he says he is not seeing her, and has not been intimate with her. There's nothing there but his interest.

That said, we haven’t progressed too far physically yet, as in, we haven’t done anything beyond kissing yet. In fact, we didn’t have our first kiss until our fourth date (I initiated and he was very receptive and has since initiated kissing himself) and he’s hinted around at the fact that he doesn’t have very much romantic or sexual experience which I suspected from the jump and am very much okay with. That said, it’s been a month and I’m pretty damn hot for this man. We see each ab
