My husband has worked for a company for 8 months in its marketing department. He is a coordinator and deals with a lot of the detail stuff — like placing ads and ordering company swag. He communicates a lot with the other members of the team, like the graphic designer and copywriter. Since he’s worked there, I’ve seen how hard he works. He commutes 1.75 hours each way to work and despite getting home at around 8pm each night still answers his email when he’s home and often has tasks he has to complete when he is home as well. I would say that he spends around 5-6 hours a week on top of his 3.5 hr commute and 9 hour workday. He has an enormous number of responsibilities that he has to keep up at all times. The position is entry level and he was very lucky to get it — we live in a city very saturated with graduates looking for jobs like it. It pays slightly over average for entry level marketing, but this city is also expensive and so we have been taking on side jobs to compensate for...

Back when I was in middle and high school I had ZERO friends. Nobody liked me and I was made fun of a lot. Now I get to college, and still I can't make any friends. I try and try and nobody likes me. Except there was one guy who reached out to me. His name was Eric. He friend requested me on Facebook and we had a few classes together. He then invited me to his art show. And we slowly started to interact. He then even invited me to his house. Eventually, we hung out a billion times and became "best friends". I see him just about every weekend. He has a longtime girlfriend of five years and we are all get along and like to hang out. Eric got into body buidling and became really muscular. And he is very attractive. He is very confident and tall and overall, is better than me at everything. He makes me look good. I've started to think about our friendship, and it just seems kind of weird. In that he is my ONLY friend. I have ZERO friends outside of him. Nobody asks ...

I think just looking over r/dating or pretty much any related sub, it's fairly obvious what's going on with guys. Myself I feel like a typical example. I'm a mid 20's guy. I have friends, few are female. When I do meet girls be it on night outs or through friends of friends via socials, they may seem friendly and like me at the time, but dare I message them at a different time, conversations couldn't die quick enough. ​ I genuinely don't think I'm socially inept, I rely on being approachable and 'likeable' for my job but this is with a lot of much older work colleagues (I don't interact with many my age at work). I'm 'educated', I'm forever told i'm ambitious with great career prospects. I don't think I'm bad looking. But I just have no luck with girls. ​ Guy's don't tend to get approach or hit on. It's mostly a 1 sided effort to try and impress the girl for most guys. Which makes it so much more demo...

I was reading some questions on r/askmen and r/askwomen , these ones took my attention: r/askwomen : What percentage of guys look cute to you? Average response is 1-2%. r/askmen : What percentage of random women as you go about your day are you immediately physically attracted to? Estimate ranges between 90% and 20%. r/askwomen : Do you think sexually about your male friends? Average response is "very rarely". r/askmen : Men of Reddit: what percentage of the women you know do you want to have sex with? Estimates range between 90% and 60%.

If I told my girl I wasn't sexually attracted to her she would be absolutely devastated. I don't see that working out at all. I'd be heartbroken if she told me that. July 12, 2019 at 12:07AM

I think I might keep sticking to sex-averse, though there does appear to be some disagreement regarding the terms. July 12, 2019 at 12:07AM

I have a loft bed! It's a double bed, so technically it's fit for two people - although it's access from one side only so you'd have to not mind crawling over each other. You can fit so much more in a room when you don't have a bed hogging all the floorspace. And you still get the benefit of a huge mattress to sprawl on and somewhere for a friend or two to sleep when they're staying over. July 12, 2019 at 12:07AM

I am not sure. People have different definitions of what sex even is. The ambiguity can be disconcerting at times. July 12, 2019 at 12:06AM

I know of this term, and I don’t think it fits for me. When it comes to porn, I don’t mind it, and sometimes I find it funny, but I don’t get turned on by it, and if I tried to masturbate to it ( or any visual imagery involving another person ), it would be a complete mood killer.

Okay, but anorgasmic != no libido. People who do have genitals but cannot orgasm exist, and so far as I'm aware they aren't inherently asexual. What I'm curious about here, though I definitely do not know, is whether the loss of your sexual organs - your primary means of achieving orgasm and expressing arousal - will also remove all of the hormones that cause arousal and attraction to happen to your brain and and the rest of your body, or whether those desires will still exist but be frustrated. ​ That was what I was questioning in my original comment, since you described your impending inability to orgasm as "I wouldn't feel the need for sexuality." July 12, 2019 at 12:03AM

I’m sorry - that sounds really tough. If you are still feeling confused and wondering if he is interested, as awkward as it might be, I think the best thing to do would be to ask him about it directly. You don’t need to be confrontational about it, you could just say “hey, at the risk of making things awkward, I really like you, and I felt like maybe you felt the same way until recently and now I am wondering if my asexuality has changed your feelings?” If you aren’t comfortable being that direct, as much as it sucks, it’s probably for the best the he got scared off now and not later. Of course, it would have been best if he had responded to the opening you left and said “I like you a lot, but to be honest, I can’t see a relationship between us working”, but unless he is completely oblivious, I can almost guarantee that he didn’t miss the opening you left in the conversation. Maybe he didn’t want to hurt your feelings, or he is still figuring out how he feels about it, but it sounds ...

Me (22/M) and my girlfriend (21/F) will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary next month. We’ve just recently been forced into a LDR and will not actually be together on the day but I will be visiting her a week before for a music festival. We’ve always paid little to no attention to our monthly anniversaries because we think that’s stupid and that the 1 year is the first major anniversary. I need ideas for a gift. I’d really love to hear from any ladies here or any guys who have had success in this department. Thank you in advance!

I was in a 2 year relationship and I’ve been single for 4 months now. I’m 27(F) and I feel like I’m 100 percent over my last relationship and I’m definitely ready to put myself back out there. However, I’m super shy, a major introvert and don’t go out much. I met my last boyfriend on tinder. I feel like it’s been so long since I last tried online dating and I just don’t know how to put myself out there again. What kind of bio’s and profile’s do people put out there now a days and how do I avoid coming off as someone interested in hook ups? I’m hoping to potentially find my true life long partner from this. Help? Submitted July 11, 2019 at 11:38PM I was in a 2 year relationship and I’ve been single for 4 months now.

So to sum it up, there's this woman (somewhere between her ealry to mid 20s) working at a gas station down the street from me and so far, everytime I walk in we we'll have a little small talk and then I bounce before I get any more nervous. I finally worked the courage up to tell her that I wanted to get to know her a little more so she gave me her number and threw in "and fyi, I do have a bf" but she didn't seem to say it aggressively. I was a nervous wreck just asking her so what should I do from here? Any all feedback is appreciated.

My last relationship ended in a fine way. I pushed for her to come to a comic-con with me, and she really hated it. She had no interest in nerd things in general, and we spent the weekend doing things apart. It turned out to be a great vacation, and that's when we realized we were just kind of killing time together and didn't have any of the same interests. So I've put myself back out there. I've gotten three girls numbers from the gym and have had a few first dates. The problem I'm finding is wanting a second one. I waisted so much time with someone who I had nothing in common with and find myself being too picky. Even with girls who are into the more nerdy things I'm into, if they aren't the exact same things I find myself losing interest. My friends and I are going to a convention in September, and one suggested not flirting with girls for the next little while, and then grab some drinks with someone at the con. What are your thoughts? Should I put mys...

I was meeting a girl for drinks for about 6 months ago and during this time she knew what my intentions were. I told her multiple times: "please, if you don't want to have anything with me, just say no. " She just couldn't bring herself to say it. So just about after those 6 months we went out, I kissed her and asked if she was willing to try to be in a relationship. She agreed. We've been together for only a month, from my perspective I wasn't needy or clingy. During that month we saw each other only 5 times cause I know she had a busy schedule. Somehow after 2 weeks I felt it was somehow only a 1 way street. I was the one instigating meet ups ,dates and what we would do. At the breakup she told me that she didn't have any reason to continue the relationship , she didn't have any special feeling for me cause she was still looking at me as a friend. She also said that she gave HERSELF a chance to see if any of those feeling for me would change. She st...

24(f) this is my first time ever posting something on reddit. I usually just use here to read stuff but i am at a point where i don't know what should i do. Basicly my problem is nobody is interested in me. I am not even talking about a serious relationship. Like noone even try to talk to me. I mean even the guys who try their shot with EVERYONE. I am not talking about a short period of time this has been like this for years now. I feel awkward writing this part but well this is the part where i start feel hopeless because i don't know what is missing. I am majoring in dentistry this will be my last year. I can say i am smart at least above average. I am talkative and friendly if i ever talk with a person. All of my friends loves me i am not an annoying person mostly. I can say i am funny in my own way. And this so weird to say it if you talk about yourself but i am quite pretty. Like it is something i hear from everyone i meet. I don't know why not even a single soul ...

Matched with girl on tinder. Got her number after I said "Are you ever interested in going out to eat, give me your number". ​ She gives it to me. I text her and she takes 2 days to answer to a simple hi. I ask her out in text and she doesn't reply in 4 days. I decided to call her last Sunday. We have a 20 minute conversation and she asks me when I'm available, I said this coming weekend, she said she would love to meet. ​ I had to end the call because I was kinda busy so I told her ill call her again during the week to plan the weekend date better, she said sure. ​ I called her on Wednesday, on the morning and at night, because I know she works but not sure at what time she works, I should of asked what's the best time to call her. No answer in both calls. ​ Now here is the thing, she is super active on snapchat, I have had her snapchat for a while since she gave it to me, she posts every singe day. She has not posted anything on snapchat since yesterday...

Ill try to make this as short as possible but still include all of the details necessary. I am a male and this girl is a female. Both of us are 20, but childish tbh, especially her. TL;DR- Talked with crush for 6-7 months, flirtatious convos and exchanged nudes, stopped talking for a month, she hit me up we start talking again, after a month we had a minor argument, didnt talk for 2 years, then she hit me up 6-7 months ago, everything seemed great, she started leaving me on seen. Dont know what to do 2nd year of high school i started talking to a female friend of mine, randomly, and as time went by we became really close, but never been on a date (she canceled on me 2-3 times, some of the excuses were legit imo some idk). 6-7 months later we started trading nudes for a short time, few weeks after that the talking slowed down and we stopped talking to each other for a few weeks/months, but she was the one who hit me up and not the other way around. Any kind of conversation was pret...
