Any personal recommendations? May 28, 2019 at 04:32AM

Regardless of what you are, I’d recommend working on yourself as best you can. I’ve heard countless stories of people who find love in the most unexpected times. I also feel similar to you in some ways. My relationship/marriage fell apart for numerous reasons. At the end of the day I want to do what makes me happy and what is important to me. Hopefully that’ll make me a happier person someday and who knows what will happen in the future. I lose a bit of myself in a lot of connections I have with other people so I’d like to steer clear of others until I feel I won’t vanish within any relationship be it a friendship or partner or family.

Honestly it's more because I don't like lying than anything else. If they were sleeping around, they could just tell me and we'd be cool. May 28, 2019 at 04:25AM

So basically I’m tired of always wishing I was in a relationship and finally taking matters into my own hands to join dating sites like bumble and tinder (cause that’s what us 20 year olds do nowadays). Does anyone have any advice for someone who is shy, socially awkward and has anxiety. Or if you’re a shy girl or guy what’s your experience on dating sites and were you successful using them? I think my biggest fear is the guy thinking I’m boring, awkward, monotone or can’t hold a conversation. The thing with me is that I have no problem sitting with someone in silence but people that like to talk too much find it awkward hanging out with me because if a convo is dying I don’t really bother to to revive it I just let it die. However, that’s not to say I can’t keep a convo because with the right person I can talk for hours but if I’m bored with the convo or if you say one-ended things that there’s no point on giving a response to I just let it die. I did meet someone from online in pers...

I have dated, but no real gf or relationship to speak of (over the course of my life) and whenever it does happen, which has been fairly sparse, I find it is more serendipitous than actually my doing. I've been alone, some might even say solitary, for quite some time. Social anxiety keeps me from doing much and I have created the narrative that work and other priorities come first. My problem is when I see couples, friends and their gf's, guys in my apartment block with their significant others, I become increasingly jealous. Maybe its natural, but what follows is a constant retreat into myself. I have ruminated on this bad trait I possess and its not me looking internally, but rather a depressive feeling that consumes me. It usually saps my energy and sends me into depression where I have to claw my way out. I am trying to break the habit with positive thoughts. I honestly don't want to be alone and which woman would date a man that is depressed and all consumed by negati...

I’m (22M & good-looking) getting back into dating apps & I’m hella tired of this whole damn process of tryna think of clever, yet flattering & original things to say to beautiful girls (slightly conservative) that are also looking for something that could become serious down the line. Obviously these types of girls know that they’re sought after, but I’ve started to feel reluctant to reach out just based on the pressure I put on myself (or fear of rejection) to make it work out well & to make a good first impression on the girl.

I have found myself not being able to take my own advice. I have told people on Reddit to be open and honest with the sex talk, protection, STIs etc but now it is my turn and I am awkward AF. We are both in our 30s but it is hard for me to give into the hookup culture. I want to know ahead of time if the other person isn't sleeping with other people but I feel like having the conversation is such a turn off. I have lost my "go with the flow" dating attitude.

Its constantly shoved in my face since I hang out with them. Idk if I am fucking ugly or something but I am definitely taller than some of the guys who are in relationships and around the same height if not a bit taller for the rest of em.

I was friends in college with a guy we will call Ryan. We got along super well, I could tell he was into me, and I liked him but wasn’t as into him as I’ve been into other guys. When it comes to relationships, I’m very all or nothing, and tend to not casually date. So I didn’t want to date him unless I was for sure into him (I wish I wasn’t this way, but here we are) We hung out a lot, made out while drinking with friends twice, and slept together the second time. I was too drunk when this happened, and it wasn’t something I would have done if I was sober. I wish I could have acted normal about it or talked to him about it, but I just froze up after it happened and I couldn’t even look him in the eye. I felt like I wasn’t in control of that happening, and sex isn’t something casual to me, which led me to feeling a lot of shame and embarrassment. I do not blame him at all for this, I was very into it at the time, and he told me how much fun he had the next day. I don’t know exactly w...

So my girlfriend and i have been dating for 4 months now. 2 of the months have been long distance and will be for a year. She seems interested. We met each other's parents, she talks about the future and looking to move where I'm at. She used to snapchat me everyday. She doesn't at all anymore (past 2 weeks), and i haven't sent any to her. She used to call every now and then and now she doesn't at all. I'm always the one calling, but I've stopped drastically. Anyways, I addressed the topic of our lack of communication 3 times. On the second time she says she's just been working late nights and things will change afterwards. Well, they didn't She went 4 days without contact, and I called her a 3rd time to tell her the only way this will work is if we communicate more. She agreed and said "she's just bad at long distance stuff". She mentioned how she doesn't even call her parents weeks on end and said I'm the most she's tri...

Just looking for a bit of advice here, would appreciate any help I can get!! So I met my current boyfriend when we moved to uni about 4 months ago. I know it’s not been long and that we’re young (both 19) but we have such a strong connection and I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. About a week and a half ago, he broke up with me because we’d been arguing over lots of little things that just sort of built up. A few days later he spoke to me and basically said he thinks he’d made a mistake and he missed me and all that. We’re now back together and obviously things don’t feel the same. We both know that we’ve hurt each other and I feel like we’re pulling away from the situation, him especially. I feel like maybe we got back together too quickly? We didn’t have a proper conversation about everything but I feel like if I bring this up he’s just going to pull away even more. We had a tiny argument today and he’s just completely withdrawn from it all (I feel like he’s really hu...

So, bare with me as this is my first time actually fully venting about this, so, fair warning, I may be a little scattered. It's a little vague to keep anonymity. I have this friend, let's call her Cat (Jesus christ, do you know how hard it is to come up with a fake name that somehow doesn't have a connection to your life personally? my roommate's cat just walked by so I settled.) - I Digress [ BACK STORY/HISTORY. TLDR; old friends that drifted apart and reconnected after both having failed relationships, skip if you'd like] Cat and I have been friends for a longish time. It started out with me having feelings at first, then us just being friends for a while and then we sorta went our separate ways, she got a boyfriend and got married, and then I ended up in a LTR and well, fast forward a few years to more modern times. Cat had a kid with her dude and got a divorce, and my relationship happened to end basically the same day. And well, here we are again, full ci...

I was on Facebook just now and I saw a post from a female saying "Why bother with dating apps when I get all the messages I can take on Facebook?" The first comment on this post was "WTF, Really? Gross." The OP response to this was "My thoughts exactly" I hate this. I'm a male, so take this as you will, but while I don't personally know what it's like to get a bunch of messages from people you are not interested in the least, I feel this could be a good discussion point and I would like to get people's thoughts. I feel that if women approached and messaged guys that they are interested in more often, then perhaps the amount of times a girl will get bombarded with messages from guys will drastically change. While this won't be an overnight change, I would love to see our society move to a more 50/50 ballance. The issue is, if a guy sits around and waits for a girl to go after him, it very very rarely happens. It in turn forces the...

First off, I actually have been on dates before. My (M21) first girlfriend (F18) broke up with me 2 months ago after a 4 month relationship, which has depressed me and gotten me down recently. Anyway, we meet on a Christian retreat and got to know each other a little through that, so we jumped right into the get to know you thing easily since we both vaguely knew each other. I'm finally putting myself out there again after 2 months and might have a date this week with a girl I meet on Tinder. She is a complete stranger, knows nothing about me (which) I'm used to with my last girlfriend), and I am a pretty social awkward/socially anxious person. My last girl and I were both a little awkward and I feel like dating her wasn't like how others dated in the sense we just kinda hung out. I want to make this work, so how do I make sure this first date/impression goes well? How to keep the conversation flowing, what do I do, how do I get her attracted to me, etc. ? Submitted M...

I have had an average dating life. I’m 38. I was married in 2008. Divorced (my request) in 2011. Since that time I’ve been in three relationships; 1 year, 6 months, and 3 months. I’m not entirely unfortunate looking. 6 or 7 on a scale of 10. This is my thing: everyone else (EVERYONE) in my circle, on my FB/IG/Snapchat feed has babies, marriages, second marriages, step children, homes, pets. They have it “all”. I am well aware that ‘comparison is the thief of joy’ and have even taken breaks from social media. It’s helped. I live a good life. I’m educated (goal attained), have a great job (goal attained), and have amazing friends. My family is terribly small, but very loving, supportive, and warm. I travel and enjoy doing things I love. I still feel ... lonely. I have no children (by choice and by lack of a decent mate to procreate with), and as I said before, a very small family. They say I’m too “picky”. And, perhaps i am. But at 3 weeks until 39, shouldn’t i be? Why settle? I’m i...

Interesting girl I’ve been talking to on OkC for a while now, I finally get her number (she’s hard to get a hold of). “Ah, but I’m at work and I don’t have her name! I’ll just Google the number first and see if I can get it. Easy enough.” Long story short: in under 10 minutes, I found her Facebook account, her mother’s Facebook account, her mother’s place of business, home address, and Twitter account. I dabble in Information Security as part of my job and as a hobby, so I thought I’d take a moment to contact her on Facebook. The idea was that she’d ask how I found her Facebook info and I’d start a discussion on how she could better protect her information on the Internet as what she thought was private was anything but. Let’s just say things went downhill very quickly.

There’s a certain sense of beauty about her. It’s not something you’d find written in a Hallmark card nor cleverly tucked away in an old Japanese haiku dating hundreds of years ago. No this is something that you have to had truly been in the moment to realize and let it sit for a while. Letting it sit to age like a wine, even though I’m no wine connoisseur, but it gets better with time. I look at her everyday she’s here and miss her everyday she’s not but I allow myself space and give her the much needed break from me. I don’t need to suffocate someone when nothing is said in stone. My mental and physical health have been staggering for the last months into years so maybe that’s all getting to me in an emotional way. I want to be better than I am now but I can’t, thanks to kidney failure, but I try to keep my head up and let the crying nights and splitting headaches, and random nausea be only a momentary lapse in my male “machismo.” She’s wonderful and great and I’m only less than th...

Every day that ends in Y is a different day with a different high. Some are clear and blue and bright. Without a cloud or doubt in sight. Others flat and grey.

You left me for someone else, you felt neglected, you felt distant, I never put you first, but when you told me” I remember all the good times vividly I just don’t think it was enough” when you told me “ when I was with you in person you filled the void in my heart but as soon as you left I was empty” it makes me think we could make it work, three days ago in one conversation I got you to go from hating to understanding and remembering the good times, but the next day you ghosted me, so hot and cold, so many contradictions in what you say, when I ask if the new guy is more attractive you will never say yes , cause you don’t feel that way, the only response I ever get is “ he treats me well”, it’s the attention you crave, the attention I starved you of for so damn long, so I believe we will find our way back to each other, some of the more nsfw things you told me aswell is not something a girl in a relationship should be saying, you love me, conceited yea, but that’s who I always have ...

This is going to be a long winded post so I'll write a a TLDR at the bottom. I have an irrational obsession for a girl I've never met. Every day, I think about her and an imaginary reality where we are together. I also think about how I was an idiot for never approaching her, but also doubting she would have ever went out with me. I originally saw her my 2nd year at college after coming out of my geology class. We locked eyes and she smiled; I thought about approaching her the next time I saw her. I saw her about another 2 or 3 times but I failed to muster up the courage to talk to her. At a certain point I stopped seeing her and stopped caring, but I always wished I would see her again on campus. This past year, my 3rd year, I saw her at one of our football games, she was with a guy but I was still ecstatic that I saw her. Fast forward to spring semester, I see her towards the end of the semester after having lunch at the student union which I usually dont visit. Out of c...

I've been feeling like this toward a guy I'm crushing on; we've been in a cat and mouse chase for a couple of month. I used to think that he was scared/fearful and because of our very similar natures was why he never really approached. It's not like I haven't showed him that I like him and the impression I get is that he seems to like me too. I see it when another guy approaches me and or asks me out; he gets jealous, we have inside jokes, we'll argue about stupid stuff and I've noticed that he'll only really ask me how my weekend was, we talk about stupid stuff but also about serious ones. At first I was scared of my feelings for him but as time passed I see why I came to like him. But something happened and it's making me question the way I see him and now I'm wondering if he's just playing me. He went out, got roaring drunk and basically was so late to work that they opened late. The following day I found that my other coworker was actin...

Hi r/dating , In the interest of your time, I’ve broken this down into sections to make things easier to swallow (don’t get pervy on me yet). Feel free to read whichever parts you think most appropriate. I’ll answer any questions you have. Thank you for reading this. Really. I need help and I have nowhere else to turn. My shameful, humiliating, pathetic, and so very painful problem I’m a 32 year old male living in the suburbs of North Dallas, Texas (USA). I have no close friends and have never had a relationship, been on a date, or even asked a girl out (yikes). I live with my mother and grandmother (ok, yikes for real) and fear living on my own (wait, don’t go!). So naturally, my best-case scenario would be: — Be strong enough to move out and learn to live alone. — Find, develop, and maintain a few close friendships. — Have my first romantic relationship. That last one is huge for me. At this point, I’m dying to experience affection and intimacy. I don’t know how much longer ...

This happened on Friday and I'm still kicking myself for it. This girl came into my work (an auto parts place) looking for some brake light clips and I was out by her car trying to figure out which ones would work best since we had loads of different one. we we're just chatting and she was flexing by telling me how much she knows about cars (which honestly half the stuff she was saying I had no clue about since I don't know jack about cars, I just know how to look things up and basic maintenance), how she likes to bargain hunt, and other little hobbies she likes. The whole time she's dropping hints that's she's interested and keeps just looking at me almost in awe meanwhile I'm more focused on trying not to sounding like a retarded child with the vocabulary of a 5 year old and fixing the light. It took me about 20 mins to figure out what would all work and the whole team she was one of the most patient and kind hearted people over ever met and I was debatin...

I'm trying to show up to stuff to do stuff and to get stuff and make stuff happen to me. One human cultural universal is that given who's where, who talks with whom, and when they do, what happens to someone is more about the other person that does it than the person on the receiving end. Just showing up to stuff is hard, but this is why I've made pantry and bus turnstile off of stuff I showed up to. But to continue to exist, I need to make bank also. Stuff you show up to to make bank isn't called "charity kitchen," nor "community center," it's called "workplace". But there there is something called a "workmate". What is that?

I’ve had a really close friend for 10 years. We’ve told each other everything and talk about everything, and we always had some romantic tension but never got around to actually dating. Recently, he expressed to me he would like to explore a relationship with me and we agreed we would just take it slow, and see where things go on their natural phase. Now, this guy is always liking pictures of Instagram models and I find it so weird. He never comments or anything, and I have brought it up to him in the past when we were just friends and he told me it doesn’t really mean anything to him, it’s just a “fantasy thing.” I know some people have different IG like tendencies, for example, I barely like pictures but there’s people who like all the pictures on their timeline. I never really worried or cared until now because well now we’re exploring the relationship area. What we have is amazing and all he does is talk about me to his family and friends, but I don’t know why these Instagram li...
