I am so fucking sick of my life and I wish it would end. I have trouble forgiving myself for a decision I made in the summer before my senior year. I had a girl that liked me and I honestly kind of wanted to date her but I decided not to because she was dating a new guy every month and I didn't want to get my heart broken. I was also to focused on my business and making money. Instead that month she decided to date my best friend and break his heart a month later. She then dated another guy in August and broke his heart but in September she found the person she was going to date the whole school year. Honestly I have been extremely down on myself for not making a move at some point. After realizing 2 months ago high school is ending huge regret has set in for not dating her. Every time I see would see them in the halls or at any school event I just think that could have been us. I just think I ruined my senior year which I had high expectation for. There were some good moments but...

So I went on a date with a girl 3 weeks ago. She seemed cool. We've exchanged texts once a day or so. I've invited her on Saturday dates the past 2 weeks and she always has something going on. I invited her for this Saturday and of course she has a friend's birthday party. I feel like I'm wasting my time. Should I just stop texting her and move on?

I sometimes get the urge to chat with almost every girl I see. In a pressured way, I mean. My mind saying, "Don't let her get away! Where's your gumption?" It feels unnatural and done just for the sake of it. Has anyone else ever felt this way? Submitted June 10, 2019 at 11:28PM I sometimes get the urge to chat with almost every girl I see.

I met this girl and we started talking. We got along really well and had a bunch of things in common. Everything was going perfect. We went on a first date and then a second the next day. Then, the day after the second date, she ghosted me. I started freaking out and trying to piece together what the hell I did wrong. I thought everything was going smoothly. She messaged me the day after and told me that she wasn't looking for anything and wasn't in a good place. Never explained anything further. We kept talking just as "friends" and still have been. We follow eachother on Instagram and I noticed she had liked one of those "relatable" heartbroken text pictures about "missing the memories but not him" etc. Went to the page and saw she had liked a bunch of those same pics about missing an ex/still having feelings/whatever you can think might be in one of those pictures, including pictures that had been uploaded to the page before we went on our da...

Hi! Like so many people out there, I feel that I really struggle with dating, but I also want that SPECIAL SOMEONE and all that, lol. I am a heterosexual cisgender man not interested in poly or open relationships (though no judgment!), for what that is worth. And also probably like everybody else, a lot of my dating activity starts online these days, ha. I know a large part of dating is accepting the fact that things don't always turn out the way you might hope they will, but I often am worried that I sort of shoot myself in the foot a lot. I am seeking advice in terms of timing (making certain gestures/moves too late or too early), basic flirting skills, how to approach those I am interested in, how to tell those I am interested in them that I am interested in them, how to read various signs, what the kindest way to communicate with someone if I'm not interested, etc. I am wondering if anyone knows of any good resources for dating advice that doesn't involve the really ...

I’m a really straightforward and upfront person. If I like you, I’ll let you know and offer my number. If I’m no longer interested in dating you I’ll tell you so. There’s this guy I met a few months back that I’d see almost daily. We’d chat and we got to know each other. I thought “hey I like this guy” so I asked him if I could give him my number. He said yes. We texted for a bit and then a few days later he stops texting me and I don’t see him around. Over a week and a half later he pops up out of nowhere and sends me a text. Also this past Friday I was supposed to go on a date with some other guy and he didn’t follow through because “he got distracted by his friends”. I told him it was okay and that if he doesn’t want to go on a date that it is fine but also tell me what you want. I got no response. I know these are minor things and it’s not a big issue. It’s just frustrating when I hear all the time that guys appreciate an upfront girl but whenever I’m upfront with guys I feel l...

Hey all, I (28F) had a great date with a guy (29M) the other night, we went to a few bars over the course of about four hours, and ended up kissing a bunch and dancing at the last place. He kept saying that he thinks I’m cute and he’s attracted to me. He texted me the next day and suggested we go out again. I agreed and he invited me over to his house for dinner... which I’m hesitant about. I feel like it’s just an invite for sex, which I’m not sure I’m ready for quite yet. Should I just tell him I am fine coming over but I want to take things slow? Or should I suggest a different venue? TLDR: got invited to guy’s house for our second date, is he expecting sex? And should I just be honest and say I’d like to take things a little slower or should I suggest a change of venue?

I went to prom with this girl in my friend group who happens to be my crush. We slow danced and had a lot of fun, took pictures and whatnot which increased my liking for her. We drank at the afterparty and this one moment stuck with me when we were pushing each other to take more shots. I said “Are you gonna take care of me if I throw up?” “Yes of course, are you gonna take care of me if I do?” and we took a few shots together. I feel like I could be turning normal situations into things that would make me think she likes me more but idk. My good friend that talks to her a lot and said that my crush would’ve told her something if she did like me. My friend said she said a few things that might hint that she doesn’t like me. Not sure what I should do! Should I just wait on it to see what happens, not try as hard, or stop overthinking things? edit: she’s probably out of my league in looks, but personality isn’t crazy. she’s really pretty and i keep thinking about how i could have a...

So she wants to take things slow and almost too slow for my pace (I’m hoping I’ll be able to stick around) and I’m wondering what would be the best way to kind of make her more interested in being in a relationship with me (but without coming off as needy) . We’ve been on a handful of dates but she is someone who is hesitant and doesn’t want to rush anything which I can understand. I am not experienced in this field so I’m not quite sure what I’m doing but I would love to know how to kind of get her to see me as comfort or someone that lifts her up rather than just a friend. She is awkward herself so it makes it more difficult to kinda make any moves and I don’t wanna try to go in for a kiss considering she’s not ready for anything quite yet. I’m just wondering what you think the best move to make her would be We’ve established that she knows I like her as more than a friend and she’s “feeling something” but is hesitant due to her last relationship. I’m just not very experienced at a...

Hey all. 28/M here. I got out of an 8-month relationship with a (29/F) about a month ago. It ended suddenly, there were no obvious problems leading up to the event. We had a disappointment, which seemed to flip a switch for her and she ultimately decided she didn't want the relationship anymore. The breakup was drawn out because she did it over text while on a trip out-of-state, and her car was parked at my place so a post-breakup meeting was inevitable. She is on my mind a good amount of the time, right now. Anyway, it's been about a month, maybe a couple days shy of 30 days. Everyone I know is asking me about dating, if I'm getting back out there or whatever. I know that I was definitely not ready in these past few weeks, but last night I decided to download Tinder and OKCupid. Don't crucify me here, but definitely not ready to start anything serious. Just looking for more casual-type experiences, whether that means just going out for drinks or even casual sex... ...

I was best friends with my ex for years before we started dating and sadly it ended quite rough between us and we didn’t speak for 3 months.

Therapy is great and definitely helps some people; however, there are behaviors born out if self preservation/survival that are difficult to unlearn, or triggers that don't go away (that they may or may not know about).

I met someone here on Reddit. Well electronically met him. I was originally very attracted to the photos he sent and I thought we would hit it off well. We’ve been talking for probably a month now and he wants to meet me at the end of this month. The only problem is, he sent me some more photos and I was kinda like...eh. His “in the moment” photos were not nearly as attractive to me as his older photos. BUT he is so so SO kind and sweet and respectful. He validates my feelings, and respects me, and has told me he is willing to wait to meet me if I’m not comfortable right now. He tells me constantly how beautiful and smart I am. He’s basically perfect in the personality aspect. I’m just worried. I’m worried when I actually see him in person I won’t be as attracted to him physically. I don’t know if I should give it a chance first or cut him loose now. Submitted June 11, 2019 at 12:05AM I met someone here on Reddit. Well electronically met him.

So I’ve been seeing this guy for a little over a month now. He’s a total sweetheart, extremely attractive, loves hearing me talk (not used to that!), and does almost everything around my time. Sex was pretty dull and off for a while but the other night he spent over a half hour just focusing on me and after that...phew. Basically, he seems to really like me. I like him!...but I don’t think I like him enough. I do enjoy going out with him on our fun dates – he’s super cute, affectionate, and we have a good time....but, I don’t know, even with all of this, I’m still not feeling anything deeper. I don’t get the butterflies, I tend to look at other guys when I’m out on my own or with my friends, and I don’t catch myself really thinking about him often (except for the great sex we had the other night. Har dee har har). What is wrong with me! I’ve technically been single all my life. I’ve dated and have had flings with people, but never got to the point of a serious relationship. I’ve alwa...

I'm a 23M and I've been on the online dating scene this whole year after moving to a new city last September. I turned to Hinge after trying to get something going organically with a college friend that didn't pan out (we're still really good friends, so it's alright). I've gotten pretty far with two girls, but have gotten shut down by both of them which has made me really depressed and exhausted with dating overall. ​ The first girl basically ghosted me after 4 dates and a night over and didn't give me much clarity into it at all. We had talked for about 2 months, so that one totally crushed me. I met a second girl shortly after who was from my hometown and seemed like a great fit, but she's been fading recently, even after 2 solid dates. She started grad school recently and has been "too overwhelmed" to even meet for a coffee or drinks. I took the hint and just told her to reach out if she wants to meet up when school is less busy, which i...

Haha Get all the a's under ya, ace, aro, atheist. I still don't understand the hate that asexuals get, like I haven't come out to anyone other than a friend of mine who literally didn't care. It is clearly the older generations that don't like us properly because they came from a time where getting children was important to the community so they don't understand the idea that we just don't want to make 'em Your father either really doesn't like teenagers or wants to do better for his grandkids than he did for you, now he doesn't get the chance, so he can learn from that.
