Why haven’t I learned to stop getting attached?

I manage to get so attached, and everyone leaves, and then I feel so lost and surprised even though this is always how it goes. Submitted May 28, 2019 at 11:01PM I manage to get so attached, and everyone leaves, and then I feel so lost and surprised even though this is always how it goes.

I’ve (18 f) been seeing a guy (21 m) for about a month, and I think I’m falling for him?

Idk if I should tell him or what. We see each other almost every day, or every other day. It’s not just sex, we hang out and talk for hours on end. Fall asleep together. We both Get sad when he wakes up and has to leave for work. I’ve told him how I feel to an extent, that I really really like him, I feel comfortable and safe around him, and that I really enjoy his company. It’s a bit soon to be feeling this way, I don’t feel butterflies or anything, I just feel happy and comfortable when I’m with him. I genuinely like who he is as a person. He said he feels the same way about me, but like I said I didn’t tell him that I think I’m falling for him. I’ve been trying to keep myself cool and not get over my head or anything. I’ve been in 2 somewhat serious relationships before, one lasted 4 years, the other was about 6 months. But i haven’t felt this level of comfortability and whatnot with either, especially not this soon into seeing them. I’m not exactly sure what I should do, I think I...

F/27 don't like guys who like me, is there something wrong with me

Does anyone else have this problem? I keep meeting really nice guys who I have no interest in. The last guy I was dating seemed perfect on paper, we had tons in common (I actually don't think I've ever had that much in common with anyone before). I thought he was handsome and he was a perfect gentleman but he was a little pretentious, talked about money too much and kind of just annoyed me. And that's the thing there's always a but.. I know I don't want to settle and dating is just about figuring out what you want but it always seems like I have no interest in the guys who like me and the guys I do like don't end up working up. Am I just trying to find things wrong and being nit picky? Are my own issues pushing away the good guys because subconsciously I'm only attracted to the things I can't have? Or is this just a normal part of dating? It's bumming me out and I was hoping to hear from other people who've maybe felt the same way? ​ Thanks!...

Is there a male-female friendship?

I personaly believe that there cannot be a male female friendship except when they've know each other since an very early age, either of them is interested in the opposite sex or is in a relationship. What's your opinion?

I really need help. My girlfriend maybe too beautiful for me. I need advice on what to do.

Hello I'm going to explain why I need help. My girlfriend of 3 year's is very beautiful. She's hispanic(this is important later on), and gorgeous like you wouldn't believe. How I met her would sound unbelievable, but I actually met her in summer 2016 when I was on my own for the 1st time. I was hanging with my friends in mall (we're all average looking, no girls gave us the time of day in high school), and I decided that since we're grown men for the 1st time, I'll talk to the most beautiful girl I could find. Not the best way to get a girlfriend, but I wanted to stop being more shy that year. Well minutes after that, I saw this beautiful latina that was way too much for me to even get. It would have been impossible for me to get her, but I did anyways. I was blushing like hell, and ask her out to eat somewhere. I don't know what happened then, but I got her to go eat out someplace while getting to know her. Gonna shorten now so I can get to the proble...

Is this normal? What happened?

I'm a college student, currently. I dated in highschool and partway into my first semester. Feeling connections with people and being attracted to them was very easy and almost involuntary. My last long-term was full of neglect, but it didn't stop me from still feeling things and finding someone else. The "someone else" in question promised a lot for me, but ended up backing out for someone else before anything serious could start between us. Since then, I've been kind of subconsciously hesitant and picky about dating. I don't know why it happened so suddenly. When I was left for someone else it was devastating for a few weeks, but I never made a conscious effort to be less trusting of people. I haven't been able to fall in love again since then, why? Is it a normal milestone in life, or is something wrong with me? Has anyone experienced this emotional block and how did you move past it?

Move on?

I feel dumb for asking this, but it is what it is. I took this girl out a long time ago. I guess I’ve been fucking up but I just got tired of the games and told her, “if she looked at me as a friend or not?” I just got annoyed with the games and shit. I’m upfront and if she isn’t down then I’m leaving. She said she isn’t sure. Now, this statement is bullocks. No interest huh? That’s an excuse. She sounds likes my attention. I don’t know why but I’m sure I know what, “I’m not sure means” Meaning, “it’s an excuse to say she doesn’t like me but she won’t say it”. Lol wasting my time?

Does he like me?

There is this guy I like and I kind of get the feeling that he might like me too but he has a girlfriend so I don't know. he could just be a nice person. This is why I think he likes me: - Whenever I get exited he tells me how sweet I am because of this. - He has never told me that he has a girlfriend (I found out because one of his friends told me) - and I just feel a connection but I don't know if he feels the same. It is just so easy to be with him and tell him everything. What do you think?

Is her playing with your stuff a potential sign of interest?

Been wondering about this lately. I know a girl who's shown various of the popular signs (sitting near or next to me whenever, doing little things for me, looking into my eyes and smiling for more than a few seconds at a time, etc.), but I wonder about this one. She loves to play with my pens, notes/papers, etc. She does it a lot and with a smile on her face, and I haven't seen her touching anyone else's stuff. I like it when she does it, tbh. ​ I'd like to ask her out. Ah, my long list of times I've been painfully rejected... Submitted May 29, 2019 at 12:16AM Been wondering about this lately.

I prefer black women, but I've mostly been with white women

I am a black male, but since I went off to graduate school I've mostly been on dates with white women and everyone I've slept with has been white. And I mostly get hit on by white women. It's a total 180 because in high school and college I was mostly with black women. Of course, I live in a majority white town and the profession I'm going into is majority white, but even when I'm in cities with substantial black populations, it's most white women who express interest. I'm not one of the black guys who think black women want "thugs," because none of the ones I know do. But it is a bit confusing to me even when I'm on dating apps it's white women who largely match with me (often commenting my lips). I should add that I got hit on way more once I got to graduate school than ever before.

What to do while waiting for a date that is scheduled two weeks away?

So I started talking to this girl and she seemed really cool, sweet and was fun to talk to so I asked her out. She seemed pretty enthusiastic and said she wants to go out but is currently super busy since she just graduated college and has to move all her stuff back home plus has to study for and then take her board exams for her new job as an orthopedics nurse starting next month. After figuring out our schedules we plan to shoot for a date in about two weeks. My question is what do I do during the time in between to make sure I keep her interested? Do I text her often to stay in touch or do I keep things quite until the time of our planned date comes around?

Paying for women during dates?

I'm 18 and I'm going on my first date with this girl I met online. We are going to an arcade and watching a movie later. I was wondering if it's necessary to pay for her popcorn/drink etc. I've read how its not good to pay for her stuff on the first date. It would show that I'm way too invested in her. But theres also the social stigma that guys should pay for girls. I'd rather not buy her food because she committed to this date as much as I did. It seems bad for her to get everything for free. Plus I already played for the movie tickets. That being said, I wouldn't mind paying for her if it's the better thing to do. What's the move? If you have any other advice it would be cool if you commented it. Submitted May 29, 2019 at 02:02AM I'm 18 and I'm going on my first date with this girl I met online.

He unmatched me on Bumble after a weekend together??

Hey... just wondering if anyone can give any insight into this, because I'm confused here :/ ​ Met this pilot on a Friday evening... we end up chatting the whole night, even after the bars closed. He was transparent about the fact that he lives on the other end of the country and had to leave Monday, is open to long distance, and would be back in a month. I was also transparent about the fact that I'd just gotten out of the relationship and wasn't expecting anything grandiose or serious. Anyway, we had a great night. Thought that would be it. But then he texts me Saturday morning inviting me to go see museums with him! So I join him that afternoon - same thing. Romantic, strolling around the city. We ended up sitting on a bench in a museum and just talking about our families for an hour- we both shared some pretty intimate stuff. I don't know about him but I don't ever tell people about that kind of thing on a first or second date. It was unique and sweet. Again...

Is there something wrong with me?

Hello, I (F/21) have been dating for a while and I am feeling very discouraged. ​ I know I'm still young and have "lots of time" or whatever, but I feel there is a pattern. I will start talking to guys or even meet them and things will go well for a few days or a few weeks and then either we stop talking or the guy comes up with a reason to end things like "I'm not ready for a relationship" or whatever. They always insist it has nothing to do with me if there is a reason, or we mutually stop talking slowly over time. At this point I feel like it has to be something about me or my personality, so every time it happens I get more and more discouraged. I was really into this guy a few weeks back and it happened again, so I'm extra bummed. Could somebody offer some advice?

I don't think we're sexually compatible

My girlfriend rarely wants to have sex when I do and it's kind of frustrating because my sex drive is much higher than her's. We've been dating for about 5 months and I feel like 9 times out of 10, I'm the one trying to make it happen. What's worse is that a lot of the time, I'll satisfy her and then she'll go to sleep right after; and this happens on days where neither of us had class and she spent most of it playing video games. On the rare occasion that she is in the mood, it's rarely passionate. She doesn't really want to kiss or explore with foreplay. We've been doing the same things for a while now and it's not always interesting. I don't want to just introduce new things without asking her so I tell her what I want or I'll ask her what she wants and I never get a straight answer (e.g. "I don't know"). She has told me that she'll never go down on me which kind of sucks (no pun intended), and I'm at a loss...

Is he doing too much too soon?

I’ve known this guy from many years ago when I worked with him and he all of a sudden Facebook messaged me one day asking how life was and what I was up to. We hadn’t seen or talked to each other in about ten years. I knew after chatting a while that he was feeling me out. He has been single for a year..his wife and him divorced. He’s a workaholic I suppose. He was also married in his early twenties but said it was a situation that he didn’t know what he was getting himself into. So, married twice. Has a five year old boy. He used to be a police officer. He works as a construction contractor now. He’s a good man but some things bug me a little. He is constantly telling me how stunning and beautiful I am. He writes me poetry telling me how much of a wonderful mother I am and how my beauty is more than skin deep. It’s a little much. I’m not used to it. He wants to go on a date this weekend for coffee. He told me he bought my two year old a few gifts for stealing her mom away from her. I...

Would you be mad if someone played with themselves while on FaceTime?

I met him on a dating app and he said he was shy. Great, I like shy. I was looking for someone to date regularly so I thought he would be a good match because I am patient and like to take my time getting to know someone. We text often the first few days and he asked about FaceTime. I agreed so he would know I wasn’t a catfish. We had a date planned but he said he was too nervous and put it off. I figured I’d give him a week more to get to know me and try again. While on FaceTime I noticed a little shaking and I knew he was playing with himself. I hung up and asked about it, he admitted he was and asked me for nudes. Is this normal? I’d previously told him I’d never sext anyone I wasn’t seeing. Now I feel used.

Twin flame

So I’m 16, my whole highschool career I’ve known this boy. We have always known of each other but never really hung out until last summer. So last summer one day I took acid , it was a beautiful trip and later that night while I was making art I decided I was gonna just Snapchat him ? I don’t even know why but I sent him a photo and he replied literally instantly. Turns out while I was drawing on acid he was on molly and painting. He ended up coming over and we just talked for like 5 hours until the sun came up. It was so magical. After that we hung out all the time and ended up tripping together. Which was also so fucking beautiful. It had felt like I’d known him my whole life ?? Things got distant when my school started and we didn’t talk much. That didn’t mean I didn’t think of him every day though, it was torture. We reconnected recently and it’s like nothing changed. He still makes me feel things and no body makes me feel things. I know we both know about this insane connection ,...

To Hailey

I miss how excited you used to be. I miss your green eyes. I miss the connection we shared, and even though I know it was short lived, something just kept telling me that it felt so right. You said it wasn't that deep - so maybe that's why you've already moved on and why I'm still hung up on you. I wish our love could be built on, because I've quite literally never met someone like you before. I wish the love was still there, but if it's been lost, then so be it.

Dear You, I love you. I love everything about you.

Pregnant and Single- what's the deal?

Without: "So? How does that affect you? They're free to do what they want" and all other forms of the above, I'm here to ask/discuss: I see a lot of tinder/bumble profiles set up where the person is pregnant and is then looking for their "person who has their shit together," presumably after getting knocked up by someone who didn't. Examples provided here: I'm here to ask why that happens so often- why things are put and done in that order? Why not just pick the guy who has their shit together in the first place? Why is "finding Prince Charming-" put later ? Exceptions to the rule (e.g., "he was a manipulator/great guy but then he died/") are rare, or else they wouldn't be exceptions, they'd be the rule. So, asking: What's the real reason for this? What's the motivation for the sudden switch in priorities? There's too many women on these sites with the same story to chalk it up to a one-off thing.

It's not a gross cold, and I'm happy enough going even if I only feel maybe 75%. I'd rather not put off the date. Is it rude of me just to go without telling them?

I'd rather not put off the date.Is it rude of me just to go without telling them?I don't want to accidentally get them sick but I don't think either of us expects to move fast even if we hit it off.

Did I get tricked into a hookup?

So I met this guy on a dating site he was in Indiana for the races which is where I live. Any way we went out hooked up. I accidentally snapped at him once when he knocked at the door. It was like a “what” in a tone of what the fuck do you want now. He doesn’t know this but my mom is a bit abusive and I still live with her and I thought it was her and my best friend just blocked me cuz I went out with this guy. (The best friend (he) was jealous). Any way I apologized right away. He said it was ok and I kissed him and he went back to the hotel but ever since that night. I’m getting jackshit in regards to texts. I got 2 today. He was in class most of the day and working. And he just got back to Florida yesterday so I didn’t wanna bug him that much. But I’m about to start crying. My mental state is not good. I do have very bad anxiety and depression. I feel like he hates me. I feel like a total screw up. I can’t tell hell him any of this because I don’t want to frighten him, I’m trying s...

Huge Curve ball - what should I do?

In summary, I went out with this girl a couple months ago. We hit it off right away and proceeded to go on another date about a week or so later that went equally well. We kissed but didn’t sleep together in case that is relevant to your advice. She and I hit it off really well, like definite chemistry, and I am picky, so find that rare. I asked her on a third date and boom, ghosted. I was pretty down about it because I felt completely blindsided. Fast forward, 3 and a half weeks later she texts me “hey I was a total shit head for ghosting you, I’d really like to get a drink and apologize and explain in person, are you free this week? Drinks on me.” I kept thinking this girl has gotta be thinking of me bc we truly connected, and sure enough she was. However, I am not sure if I should or not. It wasn’t serious, but you know it’s tough to get over someone you think you might like a lot and I just got there. Should I: A. Hear her out B. Tell her to fuck off C. Meet her out and run up...

First date went great; why no second date?

I just graduated from university (22F) and reconnected with a guy I had met in first year. We went out for coffee, and it went pretty well. He told me how glad he was that we matched, and said I looked really good and different (in a good way) from first year. I texted him a day later and said I had fun on the date, and that we should meet up again. He replied that he had a good time too, but didn't really acknowledge the "we should meet up again" part of my text. I don't know if I'm overthinking this. Should I text back and initiate legitimate plans for a second date? (He was the one who asked me out on the first date). Or should I wait for another text from him?

What ever happened to people being okay with "good enough"?

I feel like back in the day if you had the same goals in life you had a chance of getting together and working on reaching "true love" now everyone today seems like they are trying to hard to find "the one" and that is resulting in people having to high of expectations. It seems, only 2 real things would be needed for a happy relationship Physical attraction of some kind Same life goals I almost feel like people should be being taught to settle for okay, and instead of trying to find perfection. It's destroying our generation. Especially when considering the economy you would think people would want to be having 2 incomes.

Lots of time on apps but no dates

So I'm a 25M with absolutely 0 dating experience and I'm at a point now where it's starting to bother me a bit. I graduated with a BS degree a couple years ago and have a great job that I really enjoy and that pays me quite well. Overall I'd say I'm doing pretty well for someone my age and a lot of people I talk to seem to be kind of jealous of my career and financial situation in general. I'm also about 6'5 and weigh roughly 195 lb, workout regularly, and have a relatively athletic build albeit slightly on the slimmer side. My physical appearance is definitely not an issue (although I have a very limited selection of good pictures which kinda sucks but oh well). I'm actually a pretty confident person but for some reason that confidence is completely lacking when it comes to the dating game. I've been on and off on apps like Tinder and Bumble for the last few years and have probably talked to a few hundred girls over time. The problem is that I hav...

Those of you looking for a relationship, do you ask "what are you looking for?" on the first few dates, particularly when online dating? Why or not? If you don't ask, how do you figure out what the other person wants? [x-post r/dating_advice]

I've heard arguments for and against this. Some say it's good to ask because it prevents people from wasting your time if you're looking for a relationship. However, I've also heard arguments against this -- those arguments state that asking this is putting the idea of a relationship before the actual person. What's your stance? If you don't ask, how do you figure out what the other person wants? I've heard arguments that say you might scare the person away if you ask this and state that you're looking for a relationship so early on, but I've also heard the rebuttal that the right person wouldn't be scared away.

How do I show this girl I like her

Hi so last summer I had a girl who liked me who I decided not to date for multiple reasons. She was dating a new guy every month and I didn’t want to just be another guy. I also was so focused on my business that I was to distracted to realize this. Sadly at the beginning She got in a relationship that sadly lasted all school year and is still lasting to this day. They don’t have a great relationship and they have broke up 4 times since they started dating. So high school is ending and she is leaving her sophomore boyfriend behind. We are both going to a community college that is 20 minutes away. So basically right now I am just a friend of hers and I was wondering if there is a way to show her I like her while she is a relationship? Also what do you think the chances that they break up are when she goes to community college?

Am I (22F) overthinking my bf’s (23M) marriage comment?

My bf and I have been together a little over 8 months and plan on moving in next semester. I’ve met his family and I’ll be visiting him in Europe after his study abroad trip is over so I’d consider us pretty serious. He’s not always the type to say sweet things randomly other than “I love you” or “you look beautiful today” but he did say a comment that caught me off guard that I’ve been thinking about for a few months. So, I was the one that told him I loved him first way back and I remember I was pretty bummed he wasn’t ready to say it back yet and so he had a serious conversation with me and said that I was the first girl he’d been with that makes him feel like marriage is an option for him now or something like that. The exact phrasing is a little lost to me. And I apologize for over analyzing because it’s probably is how it sounds (that he means it towards me), but do you think he means marriage in general or marriage to me?

New guy, seems nice, lots in common, but...

So I met someone new and he was nice. We have a lot in common and we both had a fun night. Except there was one thing that I didnt know (cuz it wasnt explicitly written anywhere)... he’s vegan. Dont get me wrong, I have nothing against vegans. I have friends + celebs I idolize who are vegans and vegetarians and good on them. Its just that, when we were getting dinner, we went to a burger place and whilst I was eating, he gave me a lecture on why the meat industry is bad. And during that lecture, I started to feel bad about cows (still not a vegan). He’s NOT one of those “extreme vegans” who’d protest in the middle of one of the busiest streets during peak hour to promote their own agenda. He gave me that long explanation just let me understand why he’s chose that lifestyle. And I was eating meat in-front of him so... it balance it out it guess??? I told my friends about this and some thinks he plans/will try to turn me vegan. So... my question is: is this something to worry about ...

Lol What?

So basically at work today i was at lunch sitting with a group of people. We are talking about Android phones and this girl who's mildly annoying straight up says "I wont date a guy who has an android, legit straight up i wont even text him". I was like lol whatever just shows your ignorant. I normally keep my mouth shut, so i stayed quiet. She then goes on a tangent about how shes the prettiest girl at work, and that anyone who gets the opportunity to date her is lucky she allowed. Everyone is getting visibly annoyed at this point. I told her in front of everyone "You're a solid 5 at the most, and thats being generous. Take your ignorance and massive ego somewhere else." Everyone laughed and agreed, but the girl i like was sitting at the table and she told me before she likes how i get along with everyone. She also laughed when i made the comment, but i hope i didnt ruin anything. Any insight? Submitted May 29, 2019 at 04:49AM So basically at wor...

Do people just not like to get to know each other on a surface level on dating apps before going on dates anymore?

I (M/24) have had Hinge for a few weeks and have a handful of matches, most of which I've sent a message to. Of that group, only two have even replied to me more than once, and those conversations didn't go far. I'll admit it's mostly surface level stuff, but I mean when I'm messaging someone I have literally only seen pictures and a brief bio of, it's usually with the idea in mind of getting to know each other a bit so they know at the very least I'm not a creep or anything. The last time I was at all active on any dating apps was about 4 years ago, and at the time I had plenty of success talking to women and that conversation pretty organically turning into meeting them in person, or at the very least talking to them for longer than a few back and forths that peter out. With that in mind, are women just not looking for surface-level conversation before meeting anymore? I know I'm not a boring guy — I've had plenty of success talking to women, and...

Did I miss my shot?

I (19M) had the right chance to talk to a girl (19F) after class but I totally fell silent. I’m in my first year of college and have never had any experience. The class only meets once every week and there’s only one week of school left (next week), and I’ve had a crush on her for the whole quarter. The class is always busy and there’s never any chance to really talk to people but for some reason this week was very casual and we were right next to each other the whole time, and made eye contact and everything. She even left her friend after class and followed me out but I just DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING. And I walked in the other direction to my next class. It was like a LONG, painfully long walk out too. Not just some quick out the door. We’re the only shy kids in class and I feel like it was a perfect opportunity. I did meet her the first class but it was only a forced ice-breaker and I could’ve reintroduced myself or something. I don’t know if I blew it now and should get over her (i...

DOES SHE LIKE ME? NEED ADVICE

hey everyone, There's these two girls, lets call them kessi and jenny, who are also friends that I know and the way they act around led me to believe that they like me or at least interested and I just need confirmation. Lets start with kessi when ever I enter a room that shes in, she greets me very loudly and fool of excitement .she would say my name so loud that everyone in the room would look at me which I hate because I'm introverted. she would constantly do small talks here and there , Every-time she passes by she always has something to say even if it is one word. One time I caught her staring at me as if shes lost in my face , she sees me see her and continues to stare until I broke the eye contact. she general an extroverted person, she likes smiling and talking a lot but whenever I'm around she does it more then usually. she always want to play fight. The one thing that concern me is that there's rumors that she has a bf but whenever there are barely around e...

How to act on a date where sex is implied/expected?

I’m mostly shy and introverted. I don’t date very much to begin with. I dated a guy from Bumble for a few months and that didn’t turn out well.

I matched with this guy and we’re both open to hooking up. I have a date with him tomorrow, dinner then his place probably.

Why do some men only care about looks?

I'm not saying all men are, i've seen lots of women who are shallow too. ​ I know someone who only cares about looks and to top it off, he's not even the best looking person (conventionally). He said "a girl seems interesting if she has other things to do". That irks me because he doesn't have other things to do as well and thinks girls like these are boring. He is a huge hypocrite. ​ He said that i'm not his type, but the other day he said i was good looking. His type is "unachievable" and that he only wants to go for women who don't want anything to do with him. He wants to be with a hot girl to make other guys envy him. ​ He said " were just two different people. i'm really shallow at the moment and you're not. i cant change unless i experience it" ​ Honestly do not know what is wrong with him.. are there other guys like this?

Not getting a response sucks. I don’t know why it’s so common to ignore calls or messages nowadays.

I’m 26 (female) and he’s 30. We’ve been talking for a few weeks, but we’ve known each other for almost a year. I texted him and asked how his vacation is going. I saw that he read the message. No answer. I understand that he may he busy, I really do. But it’s really rude to ignore. It’s so simple and effortless to take out a couple seconds of your day to tell someone that you’re going to be busy for the next three days or whatever. I don’t know if I’ll hear from him again. I won’t reach out again until a few more days. I’m not sure what to say/ask at that point. I’m just sad. Why do people ignore and not respond? I could never ever ever leave someone hanging like that.

What do you think went wrong during this strange encounter? Am I to blame?

So we started hanging out and texting each other. When we hung out, IMO, things were great. We seemed to really like each other. This past week, we made plans for him to come over. He arrived late and honestly seemed faded; very out of it. We sit on the couch and we cuddle. As things become more intimate, he acts like he would rather be somewhere else. I think he was on something. We move to my room and things become steamy. We begin to have sex, but he lacked passion, tenderness and just acted as though he hated it. He went flaccid and well, I can’t do anything with him being flaccid inside of me. I got off of him because I was also humiliated and felt it was all one sided. We chat it up for a moment. I told him that he appears tired and he should go home to sleep because of work. honestly, I wanted to cry into my pillow because I felt mortified. It wasn’t like anything I expected. He texts me as he’s on his way home like normal - all flirty. I cry myself to sleep. Then next day, I t...
